Purify&Purification
-
Salam,
I want to understand the meaning of "purify" and "contribute towards purification"; so I compiled the verses with the words (about 50 verses if I didn't miss any). However, I still don't understand what the meaning behind these words are.
I checked the meaning of the word purify and got this from dictionary.com.;
1.
to make pure; free from anything that debases, pollutes, adulterates, or contaminates
to purify metals.
2.
to free from foreign, extraneous, or objectionable elements
to purify a language.
3.
to free from guilt or evil.
4.
to clear or purge (usually followed by of or from).
5.
to make clean for ceremonial or ritual use.So in this sense it is mostly about number 3 . However, it says contribute towards purification; but is it for oneself or for someone else?
Then there are these verses;803 And what makes you know, perhaps he is seeking to purify?
807 And why does it concern you that he does not want to purify?but also this;
9218 The one who gives his money to purify.
I'm very lost here brickwall
What is purify and contribute towards purification?
Thank you!
Salam
