All of us a shepherd and a guardian. And Allah subhanaw taala hold all of you are responsible for what is under your care. The ruler, you see, is responsible for the people under his authority. The man is responsible for his wife and his children and his family members. And the woman she's responsible for her husband's property in his absence, and herself and her children. And Allah will hold all of you responsible for that. So social responsibility begins there. It moves on as a ripple out into the society into development of resources and institutions and participating in the society like that, as we saw in Malaysia, I mean, as we saw in Indonesia, Muslims went to Indonesia, and
