Al-Muqsit

The Equitable, who judges with justice. Allah Almighty says: "Is not Allah the most just of judges?" (At-Tin, 8) "And He is the best of judges." (Al-A'raf, 87) "And We place the scales of justice for the Day of Resurrection, so no soul will be treated unjustly at all. And if there is [even] the weight of a mustard seed, We will bring it forth. And sufficient are We as accountant." (Al-Anbiya, 47) The servant needs this name in order to be just in the judgements he gives and will give. Al-Muqsit means the One who takes the wronged from the hand of the oppressors. Is Allah not the judge of judges, the sovereign of sovereigns? Judges and sovereigns apply laws of penalty and responsibility — a "religion" of sorts — punishing those who rebel and giving recompense and reward to those who obey and do their work. Would Allah Most High, who rules over them all, then fail to carry out His judgement, fail to give punishment and reward, fail to enact His religion? Of course not. Without doubt, Allah, who created the human being in the finest form, is the judge of judges. His religion is the true religion, superior to every religion. He will enact His religion, will separate the beautiful from the ugly and the liar from the truthful, will reward the believers who believe and perform good deeds with sincerity and purity of intention, and will cast the disbelievers and the irreligious to the lowest of the low. Therefore the human being should not call the religion a lie, should not deny the recompense, should not imagine that when a person is strong he becomes right, that whatever he does stands and goes unpunished, and that penal law is only for the weak. A judge should not be deceived by his own strength in his judgement and depart from truth and justice; he should fear the judgement and power of that Judge of judges, should beware of being cast to the lowest of the low, should enter His religion, believe in Him, and attain that inexhaustible recompense and reward by serving justice toward Allah's servants and the betterment of the world. Otherwise the one who supposes that Allah, who created the human being in the finest form, is not the judge of judges has only wronged himself. In this respect this verse is a warning to the disbelievers and glad tidings to the believers.

The noble name Al-Muqsit is recited 209 times as "Ya Muqsit, jalla jalaluhu" in order to extinguish rage, temper and anger, for truth and justice to come to light, and to be protected from the evil of enemies. Whoever persists in the remembrance of the noble name Al-Muqsit, saying "Ya Muqsit, jalla jalaluhu", his insinuating doubts in acts of worship come to an end.
