In Islamic tradition, deeds or actions performed by believers, particularly those that contribute to spiritual development or community welfare.
From Arabic 'amal,' meaning 'work' or 'deed,' derived from the root 'amila' (to do or perform). The term emphasizes the importance of actions alongside faith in Islamic thought.
The concept of 'amal' represents a fascinating counterpoint to how some Western religious traditions emphasize faith alone—Islamic ethics has always stressed that sincere action and genuine deed are inseparable from belief itself, making ethics a built-in rather than optional part of faith.
