Explanation of the name Al-Muqit
The One who provides everything that is in existence with what would strengthen it, Who provides it it's nourishment and directs it howsoever He Wills in accordance to His Wisdom and Praise.
"Whosoever intercedes for a good cause will have the reward thereof, and whosoever intercedes for an evil cause shall have a share in its burden. Allaah is Able to do everything." (4:85)
— ‘Abd al-Rahman al-Sa‘di
The Exalted said:
“And Allah is Ever All-Able to do (and also an All-Witness to) everything.” (An-Nisa’: 85)
The Linguistic Meaning:
It means the Nourisher, the Preserver and the Witness.
God is Al-Muqeet: Who created sustenance, and guaranteed to deliver it to every creature, whenever He wills and however He wills. He makes it easy for both man and animal to get their food.
The Grandeur of Al-Muqeet
He, the Praiseworthy, created for every creature a sustenance: for the sustenance of the bodies is food and drink, and the sustenance of the souls is the knowledge, and the sustenance of the angels is the glorification (of God).
Whoever intercedes for a good cause will have a share [i.e., reward] therefrom; and whoever intercedes for an evil cause will have a portion [i.e., burden] therefrom. And ever is Allāh, over all things, a Keeper.
Explanation: Al-Mukhtasar
Whoever intercedes or directs another person to some good them in a manner containing no sin or oppression, will receive a share of the reward of the good outcome; and whoever makes a bad intercession, which contains sin or oppression, will receive a share of the sin. Allah watches everything that a person does and will reward him accordingly. So if you become a means of goodness, you will receive a share in that good; and if you become a means of doing evil, you will be guilty for a part of it.
