Peace,
I have a question regarding `amilu AlSaaliHaat (`amiluS-SaaliHaat) which is mentioned frequently in the Quran. It is usually directly related to "those who believe" and "those who repent":
What are these "righteous/good deeds" actually?
Maybe i'm missing something very obvious, but so far, i think these verses are what is directly linked with `amilus-SaaliHaat:
70:19 Indeed, mankind was created anxious
70:20 When evil touches him, impatient,
70:21 And when good touches him, withholding,
70:22 Except AlmuSalliyn,
70:23 Those who, they on their Salat, are continuing/lasting,
70:24 And those who, in their possessions, a right/share known,
70:25 For the asker/beggar and the deprived.
70:26 And those who confirm with the day of Judgment.
70:27 And those who, they, from retribution of their Lord, are afraid/cautious.
70:28 Indeed, retribution of their Lord, not safe.
70:29 And those who, they, to their private parts, protecting/guarding.
70:30 Except on their spouse or those committed to them, then indeed they are not blamed.
70:31 Then whoever wished beyond that, then those, they are the transgressors.
70:32 And those who, they, to their deposits/responsibilities and their promises/contracts, are observing.
70:33 And those who, they, with their testimonies, are taking care.
70:34 And those who, they on their Salat are protecting/guarding.
note: i tried to present the translations as literal as possible while preserving the order of the words. Please verify for yourself nevertheless.
My (vague) reason is that the AlSaliHaat and AlmuSalliyn have similar root (two letters S-l).
Other than the verses above, do you know where in the Quran is a clear explanation for `amilus-SaaliHaat? And what made you think it is part of `amilus-SaaliHaat?
Help would be very appreciated, since this is an important everyday matter.
Peace,
transliteration notes:
A alif
` ain
S as in Sad
H as in iHsan
P.S. Please note that in my view 70:29-30 has NOTHING to do with sex.intercourse--it is related with 24:30-31 (yes, clothing). So please refrain from such discussion.
And please don't say "well, that means everything good inside the Book, do your search!" Thank you, but it'll be helpful if you share what's in your mind at this moment (based on the Quran, of course). In that case, may God bless you...
