38 Kelemahan Negara: Punca dan Faktor-Faktornya
38 The State’s Weakness Causes & Factors
Negara Islam berasaskan ideologi Islam dan memperoleh kekuatannya semata-mata daripada ideologi tersebut. Ia menjadi punca utama kemajuan dan kemakmurannya serta asas kewujudannya. Negara Islam lahir dan mengukuhkan dirinya dengan cara yang kuat kerana kekuatan Islam. Dalam tempoh kurang daripada satu abad, ia menyatukan kawasan-kawasan yang luas di dunia, walaupun kuda dan unta menjadi satu-satunya alat pengangkutannya, dan semua bangsa serta negeri yang ditakluki memeluk Islam dalam masa yang singkat, walaupun alat komunikasinya terhad kepada lisan dan pena. Islam menjadikan semua ini mungkin kerana ia menjadi kuasa penggerak di sebalik Negara tersebut.
The Islamic State is based on the Islamic ideology and derives its strength solely from that ideology. It is its main cause of progress and prosperity and the basis of its existence. The Islamic State came into existence and established itself in a powerful fashion due to the strength of Islam. It consolidated large areas of the world in the space of less than a century despite the fact that horses and camels were its only means of transportation, and all its conquered peoples, and nations embraced Islam within a short period of time despite the fact that its means of communication were limited to the word of mouth and pen. Islam made all this possible by being the driving force behind the State.
