HIKMAH, unfolding mysteries of the universe, is symbolic of knowing the best of things through the best of sciences, history and experiences, and guided by words of God. Society builds culture, and culture makes morals shape ethics. Start from the only One that creates pairing concept and Kun Faya Kun up to the eternal realm. The book discusses the beliefs, the universe’s formation, light space-time, the evolution of life, we are brothers, women’s axiology, technological innovations, detrimental cultures, and Malaya and Borneo. The laws of logic and reasoning guided by words of the Almighty form the basis in elucidating the essential questions that humanity wants to know as the caliph of God on earth.
