In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Salaam alaikum,

Leading a righteous life is one of the three minimum requirements of salvation (2:62, 5:69). God helps us grow our souls with the many commandments on righteousnessness in the Quran.

         Righteousness Defined
[Quran 2:177] Righteousness is not turning your faces towards the east or the west. Righteous are those who believe in GOD, the Last Day, the angels, the scripture, and the prophets; and they give the money, cheerfully, to the relatives, the orphans, the needy, the traveling alien, the beggars, and to free the slaves; and they observe the Contact Prayers (Salat) and give the obligatory charity (Zakat); and they keep their word whenever they make a promise; and they steadfastly persevere in the face of persecution, hardship, and war. These are the truthful; these are the righteous.
