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:…
"He that works evil
Will not be requited
But by the like thereof:
And he that works
A righteous deed—whether
Man or woman—and is
A Believer—such will enter
The Garden (of Bliss): therein
Will they have abundance
Without measure.
Whoever works righteousness
Benefits his own soul;
Whoever works evil, it is
Against his own soul:
Nor is thy Lord ever
Unjust (in the least)
To His servants.
If any one does
A righteous deed,
It enures to the benefit
Of his own soul;
If he does evil,
It works against
(His own soul).
In the end will ye
(All) be brought back
To your Lord.
We have enjoined on man
Kindness to his parents:
In pain did his mother
Bear him, and in pain
Did she give him birth.
The carrying of the (child)
To his weaning is
(A period of) thirty months.
At length, when he reaches
The age of full strength
And attains forty years,
He says, "O my Lord!
Grant me that I may be
Grateful for Thy favour
Which Thou hast bestowed
Upon me, and upon both
My parents, and that I
May work righteousness
Such as Thou mayest approve;
And be gracious to me
In my issue. Truly
Have I turned to Thee
And truly do I bow
(To Thee) in Islām."
And spend something (in charity)
Out of the substance
Which We have bestowed
On you, before Death
Should come to any of you
And he should say,
"O my Lord! Why didst
Thou not give me
Respite for a little while?
I should then have given
(Largely) in charity, and I
Should have been one
Of the doers of good".
The Day that He assembles
You (all) for a Day
Of Assembly,—that will be
A day of mutual loss
And gain (among you).
And those who believe
In God and work righteousness,—
He will remove from them
Their ills, and He will admit
Them to gardens beneath which
Rivers flow, to dwell therein
For ever: that will be
The Supreme Achievement.
An Apostle, who rehearses
To you the Signs of God
Containing clear explanations,
That he may lead forth
Those who believe
And do righteous deeds
From the depths of Darkness
Into Light. And those who
Believe in God and work
Righteousness, He will admit
To Gardens beneath which rivers
Flow, to dwell therein
For ever: God has indeed
Granted for them
A most excellent provision.
If ye two turn in repentance
To Him, your hearts
Are indeed so inclined;
But if ye back up
Each other against him,
Truly God is his Protector,
And Gabriel, and (every)
Righteous one among those
Who believe,—and furthermore,
The angels—will back (him) up.
God sets forth,
For an example
To the Unbelievers,
The wife of Noah
And the wife of Lūṭ:
They were (respectively)
Under two of our righteous
Servants, but they were
False to their (husbands),
And they profited nothing
Before God on their account,
But were told: "Enter ye
The Fire along with
(Others) that enter!"
