There's a single word for "permitted but discouraged" in arabic (makruh) but no single word for "good deed" AFAIK.

@ars, @tfh: That should be thawab (or sawab, not sure of spelling).

I thought of that. Thawab is the reward for good deed :) not the good deed itself.

It must also be used as a verb to mean "to do good deed" by itself. Not sure as I just translate from turkish to arabic :).
