what is the right translation/tafseer of رجس ؟

[sakura1994]

 (( إِنَّمَا يُرِيدُ اللَّهُ لِيُذهِبَ عَنكُمُ الرِّجسَ أَهلَ البَيتِ وَيُطَهِّرَكُم تَطهِيراً )) (الاحزاب:33)

السلام عليكم

رجس means filth and abomination. 

[Ali_Hussain]

You can read through the various dictionaries here

http://ejtaal.net/aa/#hw4=391,ll=1080,ls=5,la=1590,sg=423,ha=254,pr=63,vi=162,mgf=345,mr=250,mn=475,aan=212,kz=835,ulq=781,uqa=149,uqw=604,umr=404,ums=336,umj=283,uqq=118,bdw=345,amr=248,asb=338,auh=624,dhq=203,mht=329,msb=90,tla=52,amj=271,ens=746,mis=762

[alabegh]

maybe the best translation is impure or unclean.

[StrugglingForTheLight]

The heart that has only God centred in it's centre is free from all impurities. The heart that associates others in where God should reside, in the house of God where only God should reside, is impure. 

That is why in reality, it's either we become pure (sincere servants of God) or we are far removed from his mercy. It's two paths.

This sometimes I will worship God, others time, I will prefer other things over him, isn't going to work.

The heart the values God as he ought to be valued is attracted to the true identity of God.

Ahlulbayt knew God as he knew them. 

The ahadith teach that "al-rijs" here refers to "doubt". So this means uncleanness in every human is doubt towards God, as long as we have other then God in our hearts, we doubt him. 

We may intellectually convinced he exists and even certain, but if our hearts knew his true identity and the true treasure he is with eye of certainty, we would not even look at this world out of desire for a second.

Ahlulbayt were free from all other then Allah. They saw God in all his signs, and understood each sign as it ought to be seen and understood.

They were blessed with all glories and beauties of God's face as well are purified from all other then his blessings of light, honour, and beauty.

[Muslim2010]

You may also look the quranic verses for its meaning, these are mentioned belwo:

٥_٩٠       يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ إِنَّمَا ٱلْخَمْرُ وَٱلْمَيْسِرُ وَٱلْأَنصَابُ وَٱلْأَزْلَٰمُ رِجْسٌۭ مِّنْ عَمَلِ ٱلشَّيْطَٰنِ فَٱجْتَنِبُوهُ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ

٦_١٤٥     قُل لَّآ أَجِدُ فِى مَآ أُوحِىَ إِلَىَّ مُحَرَّمًا عَلَىٰ طَاعِمٍۢ يَطْعَمُهُۥٓ إِلَّآ أَن يَكُونَ مَيْتَةً أَوْ دَمًۭا مَّسْفُوحًا أَوْ لَحْمَ خِنزِيرٍۢ فَإِنَّهُۥ رِجْسٌ أَوْ فِسْقًا أُهِلَّ لِغَيْرِ ٱللَّهِ بِهِۦ ۚ فَمَنِ ٱضْطُرَّ غَيْرَ بَاغٍۢ وَلَا عَادٍۢ فَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ غَفُورٌۭ رَّحِيمٌۭ

٧_٧١       قَالَ قَدْ وَقَعَ عَلَيْكُم مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ رِجْسٌۭ وَغَضَبٌ ۖ أَتُجَٰدِلُونَنِى فِىٓ أَسْمَآءٍۢ سَمَّيْتُمُوهَآ أَنتُمْ وَءَابَآؤُكُم مَّا نَزَّلَ ٱللَّهُ بِهَا مِن سُلْطَٰنٍۢ ۚ فَٱنتَظِرُوٓا۟ إِنِّى مَعَكُم مِّنَ ٱلْمُنتَظِرِينَ

٩_٩٥       سَيَحْلِفُونَ بِٱللَّهِ لَكُمْ إِذَا ٱنقَلَبْتُمْ إِلَيْهِمْ لِتُعْرِضُوا۟ عَنْهُمْ ۖ فَأَعْرِضُوا۟ عَنْهُمْ ۖ إِنَّهُمْ رِجْسٌۭ ۖ وَمَأْوَىٰهُمْ جَهَنَّمُ جَزَآءًۢ بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَكْسِبُونَ

٩_١٢٥     وَأَمَّا ٱلَّذِينَ فِى قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضٌۭ فَزَادَتْهُمْ رِجْسًا إِلَىٰ رِجْسِهِمْ وَمَاتُوا۟ وَهُمْ كَٰفِرُونَ

005:090 O you who have faith! Indeed wine, gambling, idols, and the divining arrows are an abomination of Satan’s doing, so avoid them, so that you may be felicitous.

006:145 Say, ‘I do not find in what has been revealed to me that anyone be forbidden to eat anything except carrion or spilt blood, or the flesh of swine—for that is indeed unclean—or an impiety offered to other than Allah.’ But should someone be compelled, without being rebellious or aggressive, indeed your Lord is all-forgiving, all-merciful.

007:071 He said, ‘Punishment and wrath from your Lord has become due against you. Do you dispute with me regarding names, which you have named—you and your fathers—for which Allah has not sent down any authority? So wait! I too am waiting along with you.’

009:095 They will swear to you by Allah when you return to them, that you may leave them alone. So leave them alone. They are indeed filth, and their refuge shall be hell, a requital for what they used to earn.

009:125 But as for those in whose heart is a sickness, it only adds defilement to their defilement, and they die while they are faithless.

Al-Rihs:

٦_١٢٥     فَمَن يُرِدِ ٱللَّهُ أَن يَهْدِيَهُۥ يَشْرَحْ صَدْرَهُۥ لِلْإِسْلَٰمِ ۖ وَمَن يُرِدْ أَن يُضِلَّهُۥ يَجْعَلْ صَدْرَهُۥ ضَيِّقًا حَرَجًۭا كَأَنَّمَا يَصَّعَّدُ فِى ٱلسَّمَآءِ ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يَجْعَلُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلرِّجْسَ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ

١٠_١٠٠   وَمَا كَانَ لِنَفْسٍ أَن تُؤْمِنَ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِ ٱللَّهِ ۚ وَيَجْعَلُ ٱلرِّجْسَ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يَعْقِلُونَ

٢٢_٣٠     ذَٰلِكَ وَمَن يُعَظِّمْ حُرُمَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ فَهُوَ خَيْرٌۭ لَّهُۥ عِندَ رَبِّهِۦ ۗ وَأُحِلَّتْ لَكُمُ ٱلْأَنْعَٰمُ إِلَّا مَا يُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْكُمْ ۖ فَٱجْتَنِبُوا۟ ٱلرِّجْسَ مِنَ ٱلْأَوْثَٰنِ وَٱجْتَنِبُوا۟ قَوْلَ ٱلزُّورِ

 

006:125 Whomever Allah desires to guide, He opens his breast to Islam, and whomever He desires to lead astray, He makes his breast narrow and straitened as if he were climbing to a height. Thus does Allah lay [spiritual] defilement on those who do not have faith.

010:100 No soul may have faith except by Allah’s leave, and He lays defilement on those who do not exercise their reason.

022:030 That, and whoever venerates the sacraments of Allah, that is better for him with his Lord. You are permitted [animals of] grazing livestock except for what will be recited to you. So avoid the abomination of idols, and avoid false speech,

 

٣٣_٣٣     ۚ إِنَّمَا يُرِيدُ ٱللَّهُ لِيُذْهِبَ عَنكُمُ ٱلرِّجْسَ أَهْلَ ٱلْبَيْتِ وَيُطَهِّرَكُمْ تَطْهِيرًۭا

033:033. Indeed Allah desires to repel all impurity from you, O People of the Household, and purify you with a thorough purification.

(But as for those in whose heart is a sickness, it only adds defilement to their defilement)

Keeping the above verse in mind for having a definition of Rijs, I am wondering what would this verse means?
إِن تَتُوبَا إِلَى اللَّهِ فَقَدْ صَغَتْ قُلُوبُكُمَا
Saghat Qulubukuma (deviated hearts), this is verse # 4 of chapter 66. Deviation in hearts can also be understood as sickness of heart & therefore can be considered as Rijs,
