AL-HAKÎM – الْحَكِيمُ

Literally: Wise. One who possesses hikmah.

Allah, Who possesses hikmah and judgement, Who knows the haqiqah of the beings He created. The One Whose acts, commands and creation are free of all defects and of being vain. The One Who creates everything and every event in a way that always gives the perfect results. The One Who does nothing in vain. The One Who always choose the best and judge the right.

The words Hâkim, Hakam and Hakîm both derived from the same root ح ك م , but Hakam is a verbal noun which emphasizes the delivery of justice, while Hakîm is a noun which indicates the essential nature of the possessor of hikmah, and Hâkim is a noun which indicates the essential nature of the possessor of rule and decree (Hukm).
