What is the meaning of hikmat?

Answer

We also believe that hikmat is of great importance. But, the sad thing is that the meaning of 'hikmat' in the terminology of today's Ulama in reality is Kitmaanul Haqq (concealing the Truth) or abstention from stating the Haqq. They speak in riddles and ambiguity. The audience is misguided with their ambiguous and ambivalent kinds of bayaans.

The Qur'aan Majeed itself commands 'Hikmat'. The problem with the Ulama nowadays is that they camouflage their weakness and their abstention from Amr Ma'roof with the term 'hikmat' when in reality they are not acquitting themselves with genuine Hikmat (wisdom). Hikmat to them precludes concealing the Haqq and abstaining from stating the Haqq.
