I’ve come across two interpretations of Hukam:
1. It denotes God’s will, implying that everything unfolds according to divine providence, without any free will.
2. It signifies God’s orders, suggesting the existence of free will to decide whether to adhere to these orders, often associated with religious rules.
Perhaps there are other interpretations. Can someone provide further clarification?
