ASMA AL-HUSNA · 86 / 99
Al-Muqsit — The Equitable: الْمُقْسِطُ
Meaning
The One who redresses and balances with equity — established via the listing; 7:29 commands justice (qist) and 3:18 names Him "maintaining creation in justice." Against Al-Adl (#29, justice itself): Muqsit is justice enacted between parties, rights restored.
Textual references
No direct verse ascription for this exact name-form is established — the name is contemplated via the classical listing and related texts noted in Sources. This uncertainty is stated rather than filled.
The 99-names hadith itself (Sahih al-Bukhari 2736; Sahih Muslim 2677) does not enumerate the names; the enumeration order follows the Tirmidhi listing, whose chain scholars grade as weak for the list itself.
Reflection
Skewed scales have an Adjuster; deal justly before dealing is compelled.
A personal contemplation aid — not doctrine and not a promised outcome.

- Qur’an 7:29; 3:18 (justice commanded/maintained — see methodology)
