Its root in the classical dictionaries
الصلاح: ضد الفساد، وهما مختصان في أكثر الاستعمال بالأفعال، وقوبل في القرآن تارة بالفساد، وتارة بالسيئة. قال تعالى: خلطوا عملا صالحا وآخر سيئا
قوله تعالى: ﴿وهو يتولى الصالحين﴾ [الأعراف: 196] أي المسلمين العاملين بما أمروا به ونهوا عنه. وزادوا على ذلك بنوافل. والصلاح ضده الفساد، ويختصان في غالب أحوال الاستعمال بالأفعال. وقد قوبل في التنزيل تارة بالفساد وتارة بالسيء. قال تعالى: ﴿وإذا قيل لهم لا تفسدوا في الأرض قالوا إنما نحن مصلحون﴾ [البقرة: 11]. وقال تعالى:…
But if anyone fears
Partiality or wrong-doing
On the part of the testator,
And makes peace between
(The parties concerned),
There is no wrong in him:
For God is Oft-forgiving,
Most Merciful.
And make not
God's (name) an excuse
In your oaths against
Doing good, or acting rightly,
Or making peace
Between persons;
For God is One
Who heareth and knoweth
All things.
If a wife fears
Cruelty or desertion
On her husband's part,
There is no blame on them
If they arrange
An amicable settlement
Between themselves;
And such settlement is best;
Even though men's souls
Are swayed by greed.
But if ye do good
And practise self-restraint,
God is well-acquainted
With all that ye do.
Ye are never able
To be fair and just
As between women,
Even if it is
Your ardent desire:
But turn not away
(From a woman) altogether,
So as to leave her (as it were)
Hanging (in the air).
If ye come to a friendly
Understanding, and practise
Self-restraint, God is
Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.
Except for those who repent,
Mend (their life), hold fast
To God, and purify their religion
As in God's sight: if so
They will be (numbered)
With the Believers.
And soon will God
Grant to the Believers
A reward of immense value.
We send the apostles
Only to give good news
And to warn: so those
Who believe and mend
(Their lives),—upon them
Shall be no fear,
Nor shall they grieve.
When those come to thee
Who believe in Our Signs,
Say: "Peace be on you:
Your Lord hath inscribed
For Himself (the rule
Of) Mercy: verily,
If any of you did evil
In ignorance, and thereafter
Repented, and amended
(His conduct), lo! He is
Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.
O ye Children of Adam!
Whenever there come to you
Apostles from amongst you,
Rehearsing My Signs unto you,
Those who are righteous
And mend (their lives),—
On them shall be no fear
Nor shall they grieve.
We appointed for Moses
Thirty nights, and completed
(The period) with ten (more):
Thus was completed the term
(Of communion) with his Lord,
Forty nights. And Moses
Had charged his brother Aaron
(Before he went up):
"Act for me amongst my people:
Do right, and follow not
The way of those
Who do mischief."
They ask thee concerning
(Things taken as) spoils of war.
Say: "(Such) spoils are
At the disposal of God
And the Apostle: so fear
God, and keep straight
The relations between yourselves:
Obey God and His Apostle,
If ye do believe."
When they had had their throw,
Moses said: "What ye
Have brought is sorcery:
God will surely make it
Of no effect: for God
Prospereth not the work
Of those who make mischief.
But verily thy Lord,—
To those who do wrong
In ignorance, but who
Thereafter repent and make amends,—
Thy Lord, after all this,
Is Oft-Forgiving, Most
Merciful.
So We listened to him:
And We granted him
Yaḥyā: We cured his wife's
(Barrenness) for him. These (three)
Were ever quick in emulation
In good works: they used
To call on Us with love
And reverence, and humble themselves
Before Us.
