Literally to miss the mark. Biblically, Paul says it is a transgression of the law. Rom 5:13

I understand it to have three basic meanings:
One is to miss the mark, like missing a target with a bow and arrow...
Another is to make crooked that which is straight....
The third meaning is transgressing or going over a line...
Basically it is doing wrong according to some universal law of goodness to God and to your fellow man and to yourself.
That is what conscience is all about.

The purposeful disobedience of a creature to the known will of God. Unlike moral evil it is a fundamentally theological conception

Intentional disobedience of Allah.
It's different from error or mistake which can be unintentional.
