Hukam

Hukam is a term from Punjabi and Sikh tradition meaning "divine order" or "will." It represents the idea that the universe operates according to a divine plan set by God. In this understanding, everything happens as part of this divine will, and individuals accept life’s events—including joys and challenges—trusting that they are part of a larger, purposeful design. Hukam encourages humility, acceptance, and surrender to divine wisdom. It emphasizes that by aligning with hukam, one finds peace and understanding, recognizing that life unfolds according to a divine, all-encompassing plan.
