Indeed, your Lord is swift in penalty; but indeed, He is Forgiving and Merciful. {Surah Al-An???am, 6:165} Allah (subhanahu wa taala - the Sacred and Almighty) tells us in the Holy Qur???an that mankind has been selected to be the Khalifah (vicegerents) on Earth, therefore He has taught us to feel accountable for everything around us, including our families.
