From Arabic iṣlāḥ (إصلاح), a verbal noun of aṣlaḥa “to set right,” Islah means “reform, improvement, reconciliation, peacemaking.” It appears in Qur’anic and classical usage as an ethical ideal - mending social ties and rectifying wrongs - and entered naming traditions across the Arab world, Persia/Iran, and South Asia. The name is unisex, though regionally gendered, and has gained currency in the global diaspora in the late 20th and 21st centuries as a concise virtue name.

Common transliterations include Islaah and Iṣlāḥ; Persian-influenced spelling Eslah also occurs. Related forms are Salah/Saleh (uprightness, righteous), Muslih (reformer), and compounds such as Islahuddin/Islah-ud-Din (“reform of the faith”). The name carries connotations of reconciliation, community service, and self-betterment - someone who brings people together and improves what is broken. While sometimes mistaken for the Scottish-Spanish feminine Isla, Islah is etymologically distinct.
