كَمَا أَنزَلْنَا عَلَى الْمُقْتَسِمِينَ
15:90 Muqtasimînمُقْتَسِمِينَ is derived from qasama قَسَم, meaning to divide or separate a portion. Qismatunقِسمة is a partition, separation, or division. Muqtasimînمُقْتَسِمِينَ are those who divide people (Tâj, Lisân, Lane). This division can be caused in different ways. For example, believing in a part of Divine Revelation and rejecting the remainder; giving contradicting interpretations of Qurâ’nic verses; or intentionally misinterpreting Qur’ânic injunctions.
