Allah calls Himself Al-‘Aleem— The All-Knowing, The Omniscient— on more than 150 occasions in the Quran. He is the One whose knowledge is complete and perfect. Al-‘Aleem knows the tiniest of details of all things hidden and manifest and He has recorded the properties of everything in a book that is with Him!


‘Aleem comes from the root ‘ayn-laam-meem, which points to four main meanings.

1.The first main meaning is to have knowledge and be aware and certain, and

2.The second is to gather information.

3.The third main meaning is to have deep knowledge of minute details, and

4.The fourth main meaning is to act according to knowledge.

Al-'Aleem

Linguistically, Aleem is the intense form of ‘alim (knower).

Al-‘Aleem is the All-and-Ever-Knowing. The name Al-`Allam is the most intense form of the word; it appears four times in the Quran and it points out to the perfection and totality of Allah’s knowledge.

Al-‘Aleem comprehends everything with certainty; no knowledge is concealed from Him and He is intuitively aware of all things even before they take place.

Al-‘Aleem Himself says:

That is the determination of the Exalted in Might, the Knowing. [Quran, 6:96]

And to Him belongs that which reposes by night and by day, and He is the Hearing, the Knowing. [Quran, 6:13] and

Indeed, your Lord— He is the Knowing Creator. [Quran, 15:86]


Knowledge is the process of knowing, and identical with the knower and the known.

Knowledge is that through which one knows.

• Knowledge is that through which the essence is knowing.

• Knowledge is that through which the knower is knowing.

• Knowledge is that which necessitates for him in whom it subsists the name of knower.

• Knowledge is that which necessitates that he in whom it subsists is knowing.

• Knowledge is that which necessitates that he in whom it resides (mahall) is knowing.

• Knowledge stands for ( 'ibarah 'an) the object known ( 'al-ma lum).

• Knowledge is but the concepts known ( 'al-ma ani al-ma luma).

• Knowledge is the mentally existing object."

In Islamic Meaning:

Knowledge in the Western world means information about something, divine or corporeal, while In Islamic point of view 'ilm is an all-embracing term covering theory, action and education, it is not confined to the acquisition of knowledge only, but also embraces socio-political and moral aspects.it requires insight, commitment to the goals of Islam and for the believers to act upon their belief.[2] Also it is reported in hadith that "Knowledge is not extensive learning. Rather, it is a light that God casts in the heart of whomever He wills."
