Examining the Word and Meaning of Righteous and the Position of the Righteous in the Holy Quran

The present paper is a descriptive-analytical study that has studied the word and concept of righteous and the position of righteous in the Holy Quran. The researcher seeks to answer these questions: What are the meanings of the word "righteous" in the Holy Quran? What does righteous deed mean in the Qur'an? The results of the research indicate that the word "righteous" in the Qur'an has different meanings. From the perspective of the Holy Qur'an and by examining different interpretations of commentators, it became clear that all interpretations agree on the belief that the righteous have a high position in the Qur'an. Given the goodness of nature, its value and dignity are higher than the goodness of action, and because of that, Prophet Soleiman first asked to succeed in righteous action and then asked to give his inherent goodness. in fact, he graded his requests and went from the bottom to the highest demands. Good deeds alone are not enough and joining a group of righteous people is important. Sometimes the deed is righteous, but the result is deviant and human being does not end up doing well and although the deed is righteous, there is a kind of one_ sidedness in it and human being is not willing to be with God's servants.
