What Is The Opposite Of Sin

The opposite of sin is often described as righteousness or holiness. While sin is viewed as a transgression or deviation from moral laws or standards, righteousness, and holiness is seen as obedience to God's laws and will.

In many religious traditions, righteousness, and holiness are reflected in a person's actions, attitudes, and character. For example, in Christianity, the apostle Paul wrote that the opposite of sin is righteousness and that it is a gift from God that comes through faith in Jesus Christ.

In Islam, the opposite of sin is referred to as Taqwa, which is an Arabic term that means piety or righteousness. Taqwa is characterized by a deep reverence and fear of God that motivates one to do good and refrain from doing evil.
