Responsibility

Islam teaches us to take responsibility for our actions and our situation without blaming others. Blaming others is so often used as an excuse to avoid necessary introspection and self-improvement.

Abu Dharr may ALLAH be pleased with him reported: The Messenger of ALLAH, peace and blessings be upon him, said that ALLAH the Exalted said:

O my servants, it is only your deeds that I record for you and then recompense for you, so let him who finds good praise ALLAH and let him who finds other than that blame no one but himself.

Sahih Muslim 2577.

Ibn Rajab may ALLAH be pleased with him comments on this tradition, saying:

The believer has been commanded to blame himself for the sins he committed for which he is punished in the world.

Jami’ Al-Ulum wal Hikam 2/53.

Evil exists due to the choices people make. Whenever something bad happens to us, even if it apparently comes from others, it has only been decreed by ALLAH as a trial or a punishment because of our sins.

ALLAH says:

(30:41) Evil has become rife on the land and at sea because of men’s deeds; this in order that He may cause them to have a taste of some of their deeds; perhaps they will turn back (from evil).

Surat Ar-Rum 30:41

And ALLAH says:

(42:30) Whatever misfortune befalls you is a consequence of your own deeds. But much of it He forgives.

Surat Ash-Shura 42:30

In fact, we must expect such trials and prepare for them by strengthening our faith and developing the quality of patience. ALLAH promises us that such trials are coming.

ALLAH said:

(29:2) Do people think that they will be let go merely by saying: “We believe,” and that they will not be tested,

Surat Al-Ankabut 29:2.

Therefore, the correct course of action is not to blame others for the trials decreed by ALLAH, but rather to respond to trials with humility. We must understand that trials are sent to test our faith and bring us back to the straight path, whereas Satan tempts us to react to trials with arrogance and complaints against others. May ALLAH keep guiding us from any satanic influences

Aameen.
