AL-ALEEM : The All-Knowing, The Omniscient

The One whose knowledge (ilm) is neither acquired through learning nor preceded by ignorance, nor followed by forgetfulness. He is aware of all things, even before they happen!

Ask Al-‘Aleem to increase your knowledge. Allah loves those who seek knowledge and teaches you to offer Him the following prayer:

 رَّبِّ زِدْنِى عِلْمًا- My Lord! Increase me in knowledge [Quran, 20:114]

Do dhikr with this name.The Prophet salallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam said: Anyone who says three times in the evening:

بسم الله الذي لا يضر مع اسمه شيء في الأرض ولا في السماء وهو السميع العليم

In the name of Allah, with whose name nothing on earth or in the sky can harm. And He is the All-Hearing and All-Knowing— nothing will harm them until the morning, and anyone who says it three times in the morning, nothing will harm them until the evening. [Ahmad]

O Allah, Al-‘Aleem, we know nothing but what You teach us. Instill in us eagerness to learn, guide us to the best knowledge, increase our knowledge and make us benefit from it, and guide us to act upon our ‘ilm by doing what pleases You and staying away from what displeases You. Make us contemplate ourselves and the creation around us, and assist us in accepting your decree at all times, Ameen!

And Allah knows best.
