عمل (فعل)

العَمَل

In the lexicon, 'amal is a trade and an act; in the scholars' general usage it covers the acts of the limbs and of the heart, and some define it as bringing a thing about by speech or by deed ¹. The five rulings govern it: what the Lawgiver requires as binding is obligatory, what he requires without binding is recommended, what he forbids bindingly is forbidden, what he discourages without binding is disliked, and what he leaves to choice is permitted ¹. The servant is rewarded for obedience and punished for disobedience, unless God pardons him ¹.
