Question:
Is al-Qasim among the names of Allah?
Answer:
He is described by it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said that Allah is al-Qasim, meaning He is described as the One who distributes sustenance among His servants. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Allah is the Giver, and I am the Distributor." So Allah distributes among His servants, meaning He gives to them. As for you saying that al-Qasim is among the names of Allah, no. But you state that Allah is the One who distributes sustenance among His servants, in the sense of reporting.[Az-Zukhruf 43:32] So Allah, (Glorified and Exalted is He), distributes.
