al-Muqsit                               al-Musqit   86                    

        The Most Equitable,  The Just
 

The One who is most equitable and just. The One whose ways are balanced and just.

The One who establishes justice. The One who creates harmony and balance.

The One who does away with injustice. The One who leads mankind to justice and harmony.
 

From the root q-s-t  which has the following classical Arabic connotations:

to act justly, equitably
to do away with injustice
to establish an equitable balance

The name Muqsit  is not specifically used as a Beautiful Name in the Qur'ân.

Abû Hâmid al-Ghazâlî wrote:

... those who have the greatest share in this name are those who insist first of all on justice from themselves for others, ... but forebear demanding it from another for themselves.

(Also written as al muqsit, the Just: ya muqsit)
