Reported in the list of ninety-nine · root ق س ط

Why Allah uses this name

The Qurʾān states that He stands with justice and that He loves the equitable, so the name is both a description and a command to imitate within your means.

Take this with you

Be just where you have any authority — over a class, a family, a queue.

'Allah bears witness that there is no deity except Him, and the angels and those of knowledge — maintaining it in justice (qāʾiman bil-)' (3:18).

Qurʾān 3:18; the name itself listed in Sunan al-Tirmidhī 3507 (the enumeration of the ninety-nine names)

Where it appears in the Qur'an

This name is reported in the list of ninety-nine, but the Qur'an says it as a verb or a phrase rather than as this single word, so there is no word-for-word occurrence to list. The reasoning above cites the āyāt it is taken from.
