Answer:

hope this helps

Step-by-step explanation:

We are firstly responsible to our self. We should be careful about good and bad for our self. The life given to us is an amanah. We can not do anything harmful to our life. We cannot also kill ourself. The Qur’an states: “And do not kill yourselves. Surely, Allah is Most Merciful to you.” (Surah an-Nisa: Ayat 29).

Responsibilities to other people includes many issues. But the principle is not doing anything which is harmful for others. We all are responsible for our closely relatives first such as family members then nearly relatives then others which sequentially includes the whole mankind; It depends on the position and capability of a person. For example, responsibility of a general people and a prime minister are not same. The prime minister is responsible for each and every citizen of the state. Islamic teaching is like what has been stated in a hadith:" The believers, in their affection, mercy, and compassion for each other, are like a single body; if one limb feels pain, the whole body becomes feverish and restless.” (Sahih Bukhari). In another hadith Qudsi (a saying of Allah but not revealed in the Qur'an): Allah said, “My love is due to those who love one another in My cause, who spend in My cause and those who visit each other in My cause." (Muatta Imam Malik).
