Wisdom of Solomon (ソロモンの知恵, Soromon no Chie), also known as the Power of Prophecy, is a power that allows people to hear the Rukh's Will. Primarily, this power is used to allow the user to see the past, present, and future through the use of Rukh, and later on, Aladdin can grant other users this knowledge as well, allowing communication of those who have become one with the Rukh.

A particular use of this power allows one to temporarily summon departed souls back to life as a way to say any last goodbyes. Eventually, Aladdin learns what he calls the "true nature" of the Wisdom of Solomon by gaining knowledge and information from the Rukh in the past. Since all life eventually becomes one with the Rukh, this gives a user of the Wisdom of Solomon access to effectively all knowledge humanity has achieved in the past, a power described as Omniscience.

However, this ability has its limits. Using this ability can be taxing on the user, making multiple uses tiring for the user. In addition, while the information and knowledge available from the Wisdom of Solomon is practically limitless, the sensory input is deemed too much for a single mind. If not handled carefully, a user can be overloaded by the sheer amount of knowledge available, seemingly going insane. As a result, the user must be very careful to regulate what they look for in the Rukh to be very specific to only what they need to learn, a skill that requires intensive practice.
