The righteous ones, plural of barr (one who is dutiful, devoted, kind, true). From the Quranic root ب-ر-ر (barra, to be devoted, to fulfil one's obligations). The abrar are those who fulfil every right: the right of Allah, the right of parents, the right of kin, the right of strangers.
The Quran describes them in some of its most luminous passages: 'Indeed, the righteous (al-abrar) will be in pleasure' (82:13), 'Indeed, the righteous (al-abrar) will drink from a cup whose mixture is of camphor' (76:5), and most famously: 'Their Lord will give them to drink a purifying drink. Indeed, this is for you a reward, and your effort has been appreciated' (76:21-22). Surah al-Insan describes the abrar as those who feed the orphan, the captive, the needy, for the love of Allah alone, expecting no reward from creation.
