The Prophet Muhammad (SAW) said:

“A Muslim is the one from whose tongue and hand other Muslims are safe.” (Sahih al-Bukhari & Sahih Muslim)

Security is not only the duty of government or leaders, but also of each individual. Every believer has a role to play in ensuring peace in the community by avoiding violence, reporting suspicious activities, and promoting unity instead of division.
