| Al-Muqsit (المقسط) | The One who judges, distributes, and corrects with perfect fairness — restoring rights, removing oppression, and ensuring no one is wronged, even by an atom’s weight |
Al-Muqsit does more than punish wrong — He restores rights, heals injustice, and ensures perfect equilibrium.
📖 QUR’ANIC FOUNDATION
While the Name Al-Muqsit does not appear in the Qur’an in noun form, it is affirmed by classical Sunni consensus and rooted in Allah’s attribute of establishing justice with balance.
📌 Surah Āli ʿImrān 3:18
“Allah witnesses that there is no deity except Him, and [so do] the angels and those of knowledge — [He is] maintaining His creation in justice (qāʾiman bil-qisṭ). There is no deity except Him — the Exalted in Might, the Wise.”
📚 Tafsir (Ibn Kathir, Al-Baghawi, Al-Qurtubi)**
- “Maintaining creation in justice” refers to:
- Upholding fairness in laws, provisions, and judgments
- Balancing the heavens and earth with precision and no bias
- Recompensing all creatures perfectly on the Day of Judgment
Al-Muqsit rules not with blind equality, but with divinely informed fairness — each soul gets what it earned, intended, and was meant to receive.
🪞 Tafhīm (Relatable Understanding)
- You see unfairness in the world and ask: “Is there any justice left?”
Al-Muqsit answers: “I am justice itself — and I will balance it all.”
📜 HADITH REFERENCE
📌 Sahih Muslim 1827
Narrated by ʿAbdullāh ibn ʿAmr (may Allah be pleased with him):
The Prophet ﷺ said:
“Indeed, those who deal justly (muqsiṭūn) will be with Allah on pulpits of light… Those who are just in their rulings and with their families and in all that they do.”
📚 Tafsir (An-Nawawi, Ibn Rajab)**
- This hadith mirrors Allah’s attribute:
- Al-Muqsit loves the muqsiṭūn — those who mirror His justice in their own dealings
- Justice in Islam isn’t cold — it is intentional, compassionate, and aware
- The reward is special: “pulpits of light in the presence of Allah”
The more you resemble Al-Muqsit, the closer you are to Him.
🪞 Tafhīm (Relatable Understanding)
- You had the chance to oppress — and you chose justice instead.
That was Al-Muqsit guiding your heart.
And He has already prepared a seat of honor for those who reflect His justice.
🌍 EVIDENCE IN TODAY’S WORLD
1. You’ve Been Wronged, and No One Believes You
- Your rights were violated — but the world stayed silent.
Al-Muqsit hasn’t. He will restore what was taken, even if it takes till the Day of Judgment.
2. You Chose Fairness When You Could’ve Taken More
- You divided fairly. You forgave debts. You walked away from gain that would harm others.
Al-Muqsit saw that — and He will reward you with what’s better.
3. You Watch Oppressors Rise — But Truth Doesn’t Die
- Falsehood spreads. But justice resurfaces again and again.
That’s Al-Muqsit — correcting the imbalance slowly but surely.
4. You Long for a World Where No One is Wronged
- That ache in your heart — it’s not naïve.
It’s a sign that your soul recognizes Al-Muqsit — and wants to live in a world where His justice is complete.
❤️ EMOTIONAL ANCHORING
Al-Muqsit is the One who says:
“I see the imbalance. I see what was taken. And I will return it — perfectly, eternally.”
He:
- Removes oppression
- Honors the sincere
- Weighs every deed with equity
- Brings forth justice — even if it takes a lifetime
Don’t lose hope. You’re not unheard.
Al-Muqsit is already preparing your case — and He never delays the truth without wisdom.
🤲 PERSONALIZED DU‘A
(Inspired by Qur’an 3:18 and Hadith Muslim 1827)
Not from the Prophet’s exact words — but drawn from authentic meanings
Yā Muqsit,
You know what was taken. You know what I gave.
Restore what was lost — with justice and gentleness.
Make me one of the muqsiṭūn — those who live by Your balance, not their own power.
And when I stand before You, let me not fear Your scale — but hope in Your perfect justice.
