The term taqsīm is also applied to enumerating the possible conditions of something and assigning their appropriate descriptions.
A further use is exhaustive classification: listing the relevant classes of a subject so that the intended field is covered.
«يَهَبُ لِمَنْ يَشَاءُ إِنَاثًا وَيَهَبُ لِمَنْ يَشَاءُ الذُّكُورَ أَوْ يُزَوِّجُهُمْ ذُكْرَانًا وَإِنَاثًا وَيَجْعَلُ مَنْ يَشَاءُ عَقِيمًا»
“He grants daughters to whom He wills, sons to whom He wills, both to others, and leaves others without children.”
The verse sets out the relevant alternatives concerning offspring. Its structure exemplifies comprehensive classification, not a mere catalogue.
