Ibn Umar relates that the Holy Messenger ﷺsaid, “Everyone of you is guardian and guard and each one of you will be asked about your wards. The Ameer is also a guardian and he will be asked about his subjects. The husband is the guardian of his household and the woman is the guardian of her husband’s house and his children, and the servant is the guard of his master’s property. So everyone of you has responsibility and everyone will be asked about those for whom he is responsible.
(Bukhari, Muslim)
Muslims live a responsible life. Everyone of the Muslim Ummah is responsible for one thing or the other. The hadīth names in particular the Ameer, the husband, the woman and the servant. These are the persons who matter in the smooth functioning of home and society at large. The Ameer is as much responsible for shaping the life of his followers on Islamically healthy grounds as the latterare responsible for acting upon the guidelines provided from time to time by the former.
The husband is responsible for providing the family with all necessary articles as well as guarding the faith and morals of his wife and children. Likewise, the woman is responsible for running the household and rearing and training the children. The husband spends much of his time out on business while children are more familiar with their mother.
Thus, everyone of the Ummah ought to fulfil his duties and responsibilities, keeping in view the Day of Reckoning.
