- Abstract
Al-Quran is the holy book that Muslims hold to give them moral direction from which all life values and rules are outlined by Allah the Almighty. Among the many values in the Al-Quran, there is an important value that serves as the foothold for all activities in humans’ life, namely “goodness”. This concept in the Al-Quran is one of quite complex concepts marked by the use of variation of a number of synonymous words in Arabic Language and is limitedly translated into Indonesian Language as ‘kebaikan’. This study reviewed the concept of “goodness” linguistically by identifying a number of synonymous nouns related to this concept and its varied meanings. Such varied words and meanings occur because of textual and contextual factors. However, in Indonesian language, these varied nouns tend to have limited meanings, i.e. simply ‘kebaikan’. This study showcased that synonymous words on “goodness” in the Al-Quran represents the wide and complex of the concept. Meanwhile, limited meanings in Indonesian Language should be sharpened by referring to each word of “goodness” and its specific meanings. Furthermore, this analysis model can be applied in other values and concepts in the Al-Quran in a broader context
