Each is Responsible

Our Holy Prophet ﷺ says,

“All of you are shepherds and each of you is responsible for his flock.” Each of you is a shepherd, and each of you is responsible for your flock, says our Holy Prophet ﷺ. You are all responsible ones. From the smallest family until the highest position, everyone has a responsibility. Everyone is responsible and everyone must carry out their duties.

How will it be if one does it and the other doesn’t? It will be incomplete. If everyone does it, it will be perfect. If everyone doesn’t do it, it will be totally terrible. People look at each other and say, “He is not doing it. Why would I do it? He is not doing it. I’d better not do it either”. When nobody does it, nothing works then. Therefore, we must be careful. We must look at ourselves. No need to look at others.

What is the order of our Holy Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam? “One is doing and another is not doing.” If he’s not doing, let him not do it. Is there an order that you shouldn’t do something if others don’t do it? Is there such an instruction? No. When you are ordered something, you must obey that order. Whoever obeys will be in profit. Whoever does not obey, he will be at loss; not anyone else.

When they lose, they start shouting and crying. While you are given a chance, do it. Do as much goodness as you can. Make intention to do as much as you can for yourself, your family, your country, the Ummah, Islam and everyone. Say, “I make intention to do these good things for the pleasure of Allah ﷻ”. And Allah ﷻ will give you according to your intention insha’Allah. You will attain the Thawab and reward for it even if you can’t do it.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.

There are recited Qur’an Khatms, Surahs, Tasbihat, Salawat, Dalail al-Khayrat. Everything recited by our brothers, the holy Surahs and Ayat and everything Allah ﷻ and our Holy Prophet ﷺ loves; We gift all of them firstly to our Holy Prophet ﷺ, his Ahlu lBayt and Sahabah, the souls of all Anbiya, Awliya, Asfiya and Mashayikh, to the souls of all our late relatives. For goodness to come and evil to be gone.

Li-Llahi Ta’ala l-Fatiha.
