الْمُقْسِطُ
Al-Muqsit (المقسط): Meaning of Allah’s Name
Al-Muqsit: The Equitable
Explanation of the name Al-Muqsit
Al-Muqsit is the One Who is just in His judgement, Who is never unfair and never oppressive. In the language, aqsata means to act justly in judging, and the one who does so is called muqsit, whereas qasata means to act unjustly, and such a person is called qasit. The name therefore refers to His equity, the opposite of injustice.
