Muhammad, the Last Allah's Messenger said:

"Each of you is a guardian and is responsible for those whom he is in charge of.

So the ruler is a guardian and is responsible for his subjects;

A man is the guardian of his family and is responsible for those under his care;

A woman is a guardian of her husband's home and is responsible for those under her care;

A servant is the guardian of his master's wealth and is responsible for that which he is entrusted with;

And a man is the guardian of his father's wealth and is responsible fore what is under his care.

So each one of you is a guardian and is responsible for what he is entrusted with."

This teaching is essential for everyone in the world.

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

responsibility upon him and did not seek to overstep it and take on the responsibilities of others and he carried out the obligations which this placed upon him, then that would be a widespread and universal good and a very great treasure through which safety and security would become prevalent.

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).
