Responsibility. A scary word for most of us , as we are questioned if a responsibility is not fulfilled. As we grow responsibilities grow with us. 

We as muslims have a lot of responsibilities but Allah has given us a guide , the Quran to fulfill them and  the Prophet is a perfect example of how they should be followed.

On the Day of Resurrection, people will be asked about other matters, including the following:

It was narrated from Ibn Mas’ood (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The son of Adam will not be dismissed from before his Lord on the Day of Resurrection until he has been questioned about five things: his life and how he spent it, his youth and how he used it, his wealth and how he earned it and how he disposed of it, and how he acted upon what he acquired of knowledge.” (Tirmidhi)

We will be held responsible for our actions as Allah has given us free will to make choices. For this we need to first gain knowledge as to what are our responsibilities and how we can carry them out. Some of us don’t want knowledge so that there is no  responsibility but we are compelled to gain knowledge as ignorance which has been created by oneself can’t be forgiven.

So be responsible.

Not being responsible will only make you feel miserable and you will be held accountable for every second of your life. Procrastinating or neglecting our duties once will only make us do it over and over again when a time comes when we would eventually forget or neglect it completely , so make an action plan, writing it down is better as you won’t forget and just do it!

We as muslims just have to follow the guidelines and everything will fall in to place and In Shaa Allah we can be called a Responsible Muslim.
