Righteousness
CRITICAL: تقویٰ (taqwa, God-consciousness/piety) is rejected as the primary rendering because it names a whole Quranic ethical-spiritual disposition achieved through obedience and God-consciousness, not a status granted through faith apart from works. راستبازی (‘being in the right, uprightness’) is the established Urdu Christian Bible term and must be explicitly taught as right standing before God received through faith, not personal piety achieved.
