Concept of Responsibility:

Ahmad-shah-mosque-Malaysia

Islam gives the concept of fulfilling some responsibilities to propagate good deeds, to deter evil deeds and to help each other.
The Holy prophet Said “that the man who lives among others and shows patience on the misdeeds done to him by others is better than that that does not live among the people and is not patient over excesses done him”.
After these instructions Islam has also given a system of basic human rights which includes rights of brothers, family members, relative’s neighbours, common men and minorities.
Even the rights of animals and plants are determined in Islamic system.
After the brief comprehension of Islam's different systems it is must to know that what are those rules and regulations which Islam has authorized to develop a society. 

Some of these are discussed briefly as under.

Mutual Relationship of members of family:

Family is the first and basic institution of human social training. That's why the importance of a family in Islamic society is very great. First step of Islamic society is the formation of a family which is a pure and legitimate relation between a man and woman. This relation makes a unity within itself.
Here a new generation comes into being and many other relations are also generated. Finally all these relations spread over to form a complete society.

In other words a family trains a man and prepares him for the next future of the family. And Islam also wants to develop this institution of good men of society.

Relationship:

There are much more in the family stock to deal with: kin and kith outside one's family. Islam wants to see all these to share each other's sorrows and happiness. In Qur'an there are many places where emphasis is laid upon good behaviour towards relatives. But it does not mean that there should be encouragement against Islam and its traditions. Islam has also set hereditary rules to strengthen the existing relations.

Mosque:

Beautiful Mosque

Mosque is symbol of unity among Muslims and it reflects the tone of existing relations. It also works as a permanent institution for the social ties. It is only Mosque which can make Islamic social plan successful.

Respected Traditions:

In an Islamic Society the sacred traditions must be guarded at all costs and the policy must also be framed upon these lines because this process does not break its links with its past.
But it is not meant for that no new tradition will be set up. The fast changes in routine life automatically change the boring traditions. There is no need of change via revolution or revolt.

Education system:

The real reformation of Islamic society is only possible through its education policy, because to transfer ones traditions and knowledge ones must ponder over the faults of their education policy. Education is also one of the greatest pillars of Islamic Society.

Limits and legal Codes:

There are many ways to cope with evils and good of any society but rules and regulations to curb the evil-doers are also must. Islam also has such system with proper rules and regulations. These rules are made to save the citizens from evildoers and sinners. Islam has set particular penalties and punishments to deal bad elements with an iron hand.
        No one is greater or smaller in the eyes of Islamic Law.

The Holy Prophet S.A.W once said “If my daughter steals something, by God I will cut her hands too"
