So if everyone in this world knew his own position and merit, and recognized the

Herein, the Arabic word responsible "mass-oul" is derived from the root ask "sa-a-la"

In Arabic, responsible "mass-oul" gives the same meanings of the word responsible i.e., chargeable with being the author, cause, or occasion of something or ability to act without guidance or superior authority.

However, it gives another important meaning that is answerable or accountable, as for something within one's power, control, or management

This means that the responsible one will be asked by someone else.

But who is this someone else?

It is Allah!

It is Allah who creates you and knows your deeds and He will reward the good by good (Heaven) and will retaliate the bad by the worse (Hell).
