The word “birr”, which means righteousness and all its derivatives, are mentioned 20 times the Quran. God informs us that we shall reap what we have sown in the next world. None of our good deeds will be left unrewarded. All the derivatives of the word “reward” (sewab) good deeds are used in equal numbers, i.e. 20 times. Below are two verses in which these words are used;
2- …but help one another in righteousness and piety…
5. The Feast, 2
195- …and the best of rewards is with God.
3. The Family of Imran 195
