Folks I ejected the lines that said the word hikmah came to Islamic Philosophy from the Greeks. Hikmah is a topic in the Quran, but Falasifa (Philosophy) is a word coined by the Greeks, and the muslims adopted it. Ibn-Sina (Avvicenna) and Abu-Nasr Al-Farabi were amongst the foremost commentators on greek 'philosophy'

The orignial entry stated that hikmah entered islamic philosophy, which is an inaccurate comprehension of the lines in "The meaning and concept of philosophy in Islam" by Seyyed Hossein Nasr.

In the light of the Qur'an and Hadith in both of which the term hikmah has been used,1 Muslim authorities belonging to different schools of thought have sought over the ages to define the meaning of hikmah as well as falsafah, a term (i.e. falsafah) which entered Arabic through the Greek translations of the second/eighth and third/ninth centuries. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.80.124.55 (talk) 23:37, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright violation

I believe that unattributed content with unreferenced citation numbers was added in this 2011 edit by Mhmmdmz (created and used only on one day). Several searches to find sources have led to a post on a forum as the only source. —BoBoMisiu (talk) 23:00, 2 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Etymology

In the entry on Hikmah (حكم), the authoratitve Arabic-English Lexicon by Edward William Lane, seems to suggest that the idea of prevention, restraint, witholding, is essential to the root. I have not seen any discssion or research into this topic, nor is that fact reflected in the etymology section of this article. As Hikmah -being the Arabic equivalent to Justice or Wisdom- is of great importance to Near Eastern civilisation, I would expect to see some work done on this front.
