Explaining the meaning of AlQasitun and AlMuqsitun in the Qur'an
Q: Would you please tell me the difference between the following Ayahs (Qur'anic verses): In Surah AlJinn (Ayah: 15), Allah (Exalted be He) says, 
And as for the Qâsitûn (disbelievers who deviated from the Right Path), they shall be firewood for Hell, 
while in (Ayah: 8) of Surah AlMumtahanah, Allah (Exalted be He), 
Verily, Allâh loves those who deal with equity. Again, in Surah AlMa'idah (Ayah: 42), Allah (Exalted be He) says, judge with justice between them. Verily, Allâh loves those who act justly.
A : The word "Qist" means justice and Muqsitun signifies the just people in their judgments, in their relations with their families, and in what Allah (Exalted be He) made them in charge of. The verb "Aqsata" means to act justly and fulfill the rights. However, a "Qasit" is an unjust person. Thus, Allah (Exalted be He) says, And as for the Qâsitûn (disbelievers who deviated from the Right Path), they shall be firewood for Hell, This Ayah refers to AlQâsitûn i.e. the unjust people who transgress the limits of Allah; they are promised to be the firewood for Hell. As for "Muqsitun", they are the just, guided people who act fairly in their judgments, in their relations with their families, and in what Allah (Exalted be He) encharged them with. Thus, Allah (Exalted be He) says, Verily, Allâh loves those who act justly. He loves the people of justice and integrity. It is mentioned in a Sahih (authentic) Hadith that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said, Muqsitun will be seated on pulpits of light on the Day of Resurrection. They are those who act fairly in their judgments, in their relations with their families, and in what they are in charge of.
