Definition of to reform in Turkish Turkish dictionary: (Hukuk) İyi hale getirme; (Osmanlı Dönemi) Fr. Düzeltme, tanzim. Asıl şeklini verme. Islah etme. Avrupa'da başlayan dinde reform hareketini, İslâm dinine tatbik etmenin yeri yoktur. Çünkü İslâm dini, bütün zaman ve mekânların insanlarına her cihetle cevap verecek câmiiyette olduğundan ve ilmi esaslara dayanmış olarak asliyetini muhafaza ettiğinden, İslâm dininde reform olamaz. Ancak dinde yeni izah ve isbat şekli vardır. (Bak: Müceddid, Ehl-i bid'a); Daha iyi duruma getirmek için yapılan değişiklik, iyileştirme, düzeltme, ıslahat
