It is narrated by Hazrat Abdullah Ibn Umar RAA that Rasool Allah SAW said that everyone amongst you has been made responsible and accountable for some things, and on the Day of Judgment they will have to answer for what they were made responsible for. A ruler is responsible for everyone living under his rule and on the Day of Judgment they will be asked about how they behaved with these people, what did they do for their learning, and how well did they look after their rights. A husband is responsible for his family members. He will be asked about what did he do for their learning and development, and how well did he look after their rights. A wife is responsible for her husband's household and belongings. She will be asked about the things and people she was responsible for, as to how well she looked after them. An employee is accountable for the material goods and money that he has been given responsibility for, for example if he has been put in charge  of some funds then they are an Amanat (being entrusted with something) for him. On the day of Aakhirah (Day of Judgment) he will be asked about how well did he discharge his responsibilities towards that Amanat.

So everyone is responsible for something or someone and on the day of Aakhirah he/she will have to answer for how well did they carry out this responsibility.

Hazrat further said that there is no doubt that these days everyone is very busy. But everyone can dedicate at least 5-10 minutes of their time each day, to educate those people who are in their sphere of influence, something about religion. He can read a page from a book, or a sermon, or translation of one Hadith, so that they keep learning something about religion each day. That way one would InshaAllah (God willing) be able to discharge their obligations under the Hadith mentioned above.
