Understanding Al-Ḥikam: Tawḥīd and Divine Will
In Al-Ḥikam al-ʿAṭāʾiyyah by Ibn ʿAṭāʾillāh al-Iskandarī, the first theme that often stands out is Tawḥīd and Divine Will. It reminds us that faith is not only about believing in Allah but also about trusting His decree in every detail of life.
Nothing Happens Without Allah’s Decree
Every moment we live is already written. Our successes, our struggles, even the smallest changes in our day — all are under the decree of Allah. This is not meant to make us passive, but rather to free us from unnecessary anxiety. When we truly accept that nothing escapes Allah’s knowledge and will, we stop fighting battles that were never ours to control.
Beware of Relying on Our Own Planning
We live in a time where planning is considered everything. Career plans, financial goals, even life checklists are often seen as measures of success. But Ibn ʿAṭāʾillāh warns us not to rely solely on our own strategies. Plans are necessary, but they are never the guarantee. The one who ties his heart to his own planning alone will face disappointment, while the one who ties his heart to Allah finds peace whether the plan works out or not.
Allah’s Will Always Comes Before Our Efforts
We often think that our effort is what produces results. Yet Al-Ḥikam reminds us that it is Allah’s will that makes effort fruitful. This doesn’t mean we should stop trying. Rather, it teaches balance: do your best, but know that the outcome is in Allah’s hands. Success is not a reward for effort alone — it is a gift from Allah.
A Reflection for Us
When we understand this theme of Tawḥīd and Divine Will, our heart softens. We stop blaming ourselves for every failure and stop taking full credit for every success. We begin to see life as a journey guided by Allah, where our role is sincerity and effort, not control.
It is in this surrender that true freedom lies.
Al hikam - 2
That’s a very good observation 👍. Many printed editions of Al-Ḥikam al-ʿAṭāʾiyyah differ in length because some publishers stop at a certain number of ḥikam (like your copy ending at 74), while others include all ~264 ḥikam.
Since you want a list according to themes, I’ll provide a thematic outline (based on traditional commentaries such as Ibn ʿAjībah, Ibn ʿAbbād, and Zarrūq). You can then match your 74 ḥikam to these categories.
Thematic Breakdown of Al-Ḥikam
1. On Tawḥīd and Divine Will
- Affirming that nothing happens without Allah’s decree.
- Warning against reliance on one’s own planning.
- Understanding that Allah’s will precedes human effort.
2. On Intention and Sincerity
- Actions are valued by intention, not by form.
- Do not seek reward from creation; seek it from the Creator.
- The danger of hypocrisy and seeking reputation.
3. On Actions and Worship
- Reliance on Allah, not on the act itself.
- Worship is a gift, not a result of one’s own power.
- Balance between fear and hope in worship.
4. On Spiritual Striving (Mujāhadah)
- Struggle against the nafs (ego).
- Patience in trials and detachment from desires.
- Recognizing the role of hardship in spiritual growth.
5. On Trust (Tawakkul) and Contentment
- True reliance on Allah brings peace.
- Contentment with Allah’s decree (riḍā).
- Letting go of anxiety over provision and future outcomes.
6. On Knowledge (‘Ilm) and Light (Nūr)
- Knowledge is a light placed in the heart.
- Outer knowledge is incomplete without inner realization.
- Warning against pride in knowledge without practice.
7. On Spiritual States (Aḥwāl) and Stations (Maqāmāt)
- Alternation between expansion (bast) and constriction (qabḍ).
- Recognizing tests as a sign of Allah’s attention.
- Importance of patience in difficult states.
8. On Love and Nearness to Allah
- Allah chooses whom He loves.
- The sweetness of dhikr (remembrance).
- Signs of being drawn closer to Allah.
9. On Humility and Human Weakness
- Do not be deceived by your own deeds.
- Seeing yourself as needy before Allah.
- Humility as the key to spiritual ascent.
10. On Gratitude and Praise
- Gratitude is the key to increase.
- Recognizing that blessings come only from Allah.
- Thanking Allah in both ease and hardship.
💡 Note:
If your copy ends at 74 ḥikam, it might be a selection edition focusing on the core wisdoms for beginners. Many publishers in Malaysia and Indonesia use this abridged version for accessibility.
Al Hikam - 1
About Al-Ḥikam al-ʿAṭāʾiyyah (الحِكَم العطائية), a well-known spiritual classic written by Imam Ibn ʿAṭāʾillāh al-Iskandarī (d. 709 AH / 1309 CE), a prominent Sufi master of the Shādhilī order.
About Al-Hikam al-‘Ata’iyyah:
- The title translates roughly as “The Aphorisms of Ibn ʿAṭāʾillāh”.
- It is a collection of spiritual wisdoms (ḥikam), not a book divided into formal chapters.
- The book contains around 264 aphorisms (ḥikmah), depending on the manuscript and edition.
- Each aphorism is a stand-alone statement of deep spiritual insight, often followed by a commentary in traditional editions.
Structure:
- There is no formal chapter division like in modern books (e.g., Chapter 1, Chapter 2...).
- However, later scholars—like Imam Ibn ‘Ajībah and Ahmad Zarrūq—wrote commentaries (sharḥ) and sometimes grouped the ḥikam thematically:
- Tawḥīd and Divine Will
- Sincerity and Actions
- Tawakkul (Trust in Allah)
- Spiritual Struggles and Purification
- Knowledge, Light, and Maʿrifah (Gnosis)
- States and Stations (aḥwāl and maqāmāt)
So if you’re looking to organize or study the book by “chapters,” scholars usually group the aphorisms thematically rather than formally chaptering them.

You're referring to a well-known NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) concept called the Logical Levels of Change, originally developed by Robert Dilts, which Harry Alder also discusses in NLP in 21 Days. This model is often used in coaching, therapy, and personal development to understand how people experience change and operate in the world.
Here’s a breakdown of the levels from bottom to top (environment to spirituality), along with brief explanations:
---
🧭 1. Environment
What? Where? When?
The external setting: where you are, who is around you, what is happening.
Example: “I work in a noisy office,” or “I live in a calm neighborhood.”
---
🧠 2. Behavior
What do you do?
Your specific actions or habits in your environment.
Example: “I meditate every morning,” or “I procrastinate on big projects.”
---
💪 3. Capabilities (Skills & Strategies)
How do you do it?
Mental strategies, talents, and learned skills.
Example: “I know how to negotiate,” or “I use mindfulness to manage stress.”
---
🧓 4. Beliefs and Values
Why do you do it? What’s important?
What you believe to be true or important; what motivates you.
Example: “Hard work is essential,” or “People are basically good.”
---
🧍 5. Identity
Who are you?
Your sense of self and personal identity.
Example: “I’m a teacher,” or “I’m a seeker of truth.”
---
✨ 6. Spirituality / Purpose (sometimes called ‘Vision’ or ‘Transpersonal’)
For whom? For what?
Your connection to something greater — whether that’s religion, humanity, nature, or a higher purpose.
Example: “I’m here to serve others,” or “My life is part of a bigger plan.”
---
💡Why this hierarchy matters:
Change at a higher level affects all the levels below. For example:
If your identity changes (e.g., from "I’m a smoker" to "I’m a healthy person"), your behaviors and environment often change automatically.
But changing something at a lower level (like moving house or learning a new skill) might not change deeper beliefs or identity unless addressed intentionally.

Would you like help applying this to your own life or a certain problem? Or want a visual or worksheet to explore it further?
#answer and analyse
Thank you for opening up — your reflection shows a deep awareness of your internal struggle. You're absolutely right: what you're dealing with goes far deeper than habits. It’s rooted in identity, belief, and purpose, and using the NLP Logical Levels will help untangle the layers and realign your inner and outer world.
Let’s walk through the Logical Levels with YOU at the center, and gently explore how each layer may be affecting your ability to move forward — especially with overwriting, overthinking, overplanning, and procrastination.
---
🌿 Applying the Logical Levels to Your Life
✨ 6. Spirituality / Purpose – “What is greater than me?”
Ask yourself:
What do I believe I am ultimately here for?
Who or what do I serve beyond myself?
Possible blockage: You may feel like you have a deep purpose, but the clarity is still clouded by perfectionism or fear of being “not enough.”
Reflect:
> “I want to contribute something meaningful, but I feel stuck because I don’t know if it’s ‘worthy’ yet.”
🟩 Healing step:
Write a short “life mission” in your own words. Not perfect — just honest.
Example: “I believe I’m here to help others think deeper and live with more self-awareness.”
---
🧍 5. Identity – “Who am I?”
Ask yourself:
How do I define myself?
What roles do I play? What labels do I give myself?
Possible blockage:
> “I’m an overthinker.” “I don’t finish what I start.” “I’m not successful enough.”
These labels become self-fulfilling and keep you trapped in looping thoughts.
🟩 Healing step:
Replace identity-based labels with process-based identities.
Example: Instead of “I procrastinate,” say:
“I’m someone learning how to manage my energy and focus with compassion.”
📝 Exercise: Write 3 supportive identities you want to grow into. Example:
“I am a consistent creator.”
“I am someone who finishes what matters.”
“I am a thoughtful doer, not just a thinker.”
---
💬 4. Beliefs and Values – “Why do I act this way?”
Ask yourself:
What do I believe about success, productivity, and self-worth?
Do I believe I need to ‘earn’ being good enough?
Possible limiting beliefs:
“If it’s not perfect, it’s not worth doing.”
“My success is never enough because others expect more.”
“If I slow down, I’m being lazy.”
🟩 Healing step:
Challenge those beliefs gently.
Ask: Is this belief true 100% of the time?
Replace with a more helpful belief, such as:
“Progress, not perfection, is enough.”
“I am already worthy even before I prove anything.”
---
🛠️ 3. Capabilities – “What can I do?”
Ask yourself:
What skills or strategies do I use when I want to improve?
Do I have tools for focus, self-compassion, and managing my time gently?
Possible blockage: You know a lot but apply little because your mind loops and stalls.
🟩 Healing step:
Choose one skill at a time to grow — not 10 at once.
Example:
“I’ll use the Pomodoro method to practice ‘starting’ without pressure.”
“I’ll spend 10 minutes a day just writing — no editing.”
---
🧠 2. Behavior – “What do I actually do?”
Ask yourself:
What do my actions look like daily?
What patterns do I repeat?
Example:
Writing outlines but never finishing.
Planning excessively but fearing to begin.
Letting tasks pile up.
🟩 Healing step:
Track one small win per day. Not what you “should” have done — just what you did.
Example:
“Today I wrote one paragraph.”
“Today I organized my desk.”
Celebrate each.
---
🌍 1. Environment – “Where and when does this happen?”
Ask yourself:
Where am I when I feel most stuck? What time of day? What triggers it?
Possible factors:
Messy or cluttered space
Lack of external structure
Pressure from social media or comparison
🟩 Healing step:
Redesign your environment for gentle productivity:
Clear 1 space only (like a desk) and call it your “focus zone.”
Use ambient music, scent, or a light timer to signal “this is my time to create.”
---
🔄 Why this helps:
You’re not just “fixing procrastination.” You are realigning the inner foundation — from spiritual purpose to your outer actions.
Your overthinking is not a curse — it’s intelligence misdirected. Let’s redirect it inward with self-trust and forward with action.
