تُصْلِحcorrect

Example sentences

• فَالَّذِي مضى تصلحه بِالتَّوْبَةِ والندم وَالِاسْتِغْفَار

  So what has passed can be corrected by repentance, remorse, and seeking forgiveness.

  تُصْلِحُهُ — can correct it. The doer here is 'you', carried inside the verb, and the '-hu' on the end is the object 'it', reaching back to the bygone time. The verb's a-prefix pattern is causative, 'make sound, set right', rather than simply 'be right'.
