The word(s) "pious" appears 90 time(s) in 88 verse(s) in Quran in Mohsin Khan translation.

(71) O mankind! We have created you from a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that you may know one another. Verily, the most honourable of you with Allah is that (believer) who has At-Taqwa [i.e. he is one of the Muttaqun (the pious. See V.2:2)]. Verily, Allah is All-Knowing, All-Aware.

(72) And Paradise will be brought near to the Muttaqun (the pious. See V.2:2), not far off.

(73) Verily, the Muttaqun (the pious. See V.2:2) will be in the midst of Gardens and Springs (in the Paradise),

(74) Verily, the Muttaqun (the pious. See V.2:2) will be in Gardens (Paradise), and Delight.

(75) Those who avoid great sins (See the Qur'an, Verses: 6:152,153) and Al-Fawahish (illegal sexual intercourse) except the small faults, - verily, your Lord is of Vast Forgiveness. He knows you well when He created you from the earth (Adam), and when you were fetuses in your mothers' wombs. So ascribe not purity to yourselves. He knows best him who fears Allah and keeps his duty to Him [i.e. those who are Al-Muttaqun (the pious. See V.2:2)].

(76) Verily, The Muttaqun (the pious - see V.2:2), will be in the midst of Gardens and Rivers (Paradise).

(77) And (there will be) Hur (fair females) with wide, lovely eyes (as wives for "Al-Muttaqun" - the pious - See V. 2:2),

(78) Verily, for the Muttaqun (the pious - See V.2:2) are Gardens of delight (Paradise) with their Lord.

(79) And verily, this (Qur'an) is a Reminder for the Muttaqun (the pious. See V.2:2).

(80) Except those on the Right, (i.e. the pious true believers of Islamic Monotheism).
