Responsibility
“This is not (a matter of) your fancies
or the fancies of the People of the
Book. Whoever does evil shall be
requited for it, and he shall find
neither a friend for himself, besides
Allah, nor a helper. Whoever, male or
female, does good deeds and is a
believer, then such people shall enter
Paradise, and they shall not be
wronged in the least” (4:123-124)
Islam lays down the principle of mutual
responsibility in all its various shapes
& forms. In it we find the
responsibilities which exist between
a man & his soul, between a man &
his immediate family, between the
individual & society, between
community & other communities.
Benevolence
The inmates of Paradise are of three
types: one who wields authority & is
just and fair; one who is truthful &
has been endowed to power to do
good deeds; & the person who is
merciful and kind hearted towards
his relatives & to every pious Muslim,
& who does not stretch out his hand
in spite of having a large family to
support.
