Abstract: Elements of responsibility has implications upon human responsibility. The implications was mentioned by Islamic and Western scholars, particularly Muslim scholars who relied on al-Quran and al-Sunnah. Thus, this paper’s first objective is a discussion on justification of responsibility that can be ascribe to four elements namely knowledge, will, ability and actions. The second objective is to examine Islamic scholars’ interpretation of divine scripture on these elements. The third objective is to highlight principles of responsibility based on scholars’ interpretation. Inductive method is used to understand scholars’ views on the elements. Deductive method is also used to generalize views on elements of responsibility and identify Islamic principles. This study is substantiated with Islamic scripture which clearly states in general and in detail on responsibilities and its elements. Element of knowledge is taken seriously and considered the most important because Islamic scripture becomes a fundamental source of responsibility. Besides, existence of will and ability are considered accountable, if will and ability are strong and capable enough to make decision. Furthermore, action is eminent as being a direct responsibility as it is also considered as physical responsibility.
