Righteousness
CRITICAL: Kebenaran can ambiguously mean ‘truth/correctness’ as well as moral righteousness in everyday Malay; context must make clear this is right standing before God, not merely factual accuracy. Never present as equivalent to amal soleh (righteous deeds), the works-ledger category central to Islamic judgment theology.
