What does Qismah mean?
It is derived from the Arabic root 'Qasama', which means 'to divide, to distribute'. Qismah therefore signifies 'a portion, a share, a distribution'. It can also mean 'a judgment, a verdict'. It is said that when Prophet Moses (peace be upon him) asked Allah for guidance for his people, Allah divided the sea into seven parts and created seven islands for them. These islands were called Qismah because they were a division, a share, a distribution of Allah's mercy and generosity.
