Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The qasitun (القاسطون) are the unjust, and the muqsitun (المقسطون) are the just. Qusoot (القسوط) is injustice and deviation from the truth, and from it is the Almighty's saying: "And as for the qasitun, they were firewood for Hell." (وَأَمَّا الْقَاسِطُونَ فَكَانُوا لِجَهَنَّمَ حَطَباً) And qist (القسط) is justice, and from it is the Almighty's saying: "Indeed, Allah loves the muqsitun." (إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الْمُقْسِطِينَ)
