Hukam (Punjabi: ਹੁਕਮਿ / حکم) is a Punjabi word derived from the Arabic hukm, meaning "command" or "divine order."[1] In Sikhism, Hukam represents the goal of becoming in harmony with the will of God and thus attaining inner peace. It also designates the practice of opening up at random to a page in the Sikh scripture (Guru Granth Sahib) to receive God's guidance on how to handle a certain situation, as answer to a question, or as more general guidance for that day.[2] This ceremony is also known as Vak.[2]
