Responsibility

From Umar (radhiyallah hu ‘anhu) who said that Allah’s Messenger, Muhammad pbuh said:
“Each one of you is as 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 for what is under his care. So each one of you is a guardian and is responsible for what you are entrusted with”.

(hadith reported by bukhari and muslim)

So if everyone from this ummah (community) knew his own position and worth, and realised the responsibility upon him and did not seek to overstep it and take on the responsibilities of others and he carried out the obligations placed upon him, then that would be a comprehensive and universal virtue (good) and a very great treasure through which safety and security would become widespread. Along with this something that is a feature of the Islamic personality is that The Muslim Seeks to Make Excuses for Other Muslims.
