The original Arabic word hukm is very comprehensive. It means judgment, wisdom and discretion, and authority from Allah. `Ilm stands for the revealed knowledge of the Truth. Thus, "We bestowed hukm and `ilm on Lot": "We appointed Lot as a Prophet". (For the story of Lot, see VII: 80-84; Xl: 7083; XV: 57-74 and the E.N.'s there of).
