Imani Iliyoshinda - Hatua Muhimu | Quran Course

Muumini ndiye aliye bora zaidi katika ufahamu wake na katika dhana yake ya asili ya ulimwengu, kwa kuwa imani katika Mungu Mmoja, katika umbo ambalo limemfikia kutoka kwa Uislamu, ndiyo namna kamilifu zaidi ya ufahamu, ukweli mkubwa zaidi. Picha ya ulimwengu ambayo Imani hii inaiwasilisha iko juu sana ya marundo ya dhana, imani na dini, na haifikiwi na wanafalsafa wakuu, wa kale na wa kisasa, wala haipatikani na waabudu sanamu au wafuasi wa maandiko yaliyopotoshwa, wala haikaribiwi na wanamaada duni. Picha hii ni angavu, safi, nzuri na yenye usawaziko kiasi kwamba utukufu wa imani ya Kiislamu unang'aa kama haujawahi kung'aa kabla. Na bila shaka, wale waliokishika maarifa haya ni bora kuliko wengine wote. [Angalia sura ya "Teeh wa rukam." katika kitabu, "Khasais al- Tasawwar al-Islami wa Muqawwimatuhu", cha mwandishi.] Muumini ndiye aliye bora zaidi katika maadili yake na viwango vyake, ambavyo kwavyo anapima maisha, matukio, vitu na watu. Chanzo cha imani yake ni elimu ya Mungu na sifa zake kama zilivyoelezwa na Uislamu, na elimu ya uhalisia unaoenea katika ulimwengu mpana, si tu katika dunia ndogo.

The Believer is most superior in his understanding and his concept of the nature of the world, for the belief in One God, in the form which has come to him from Islam, is the most perfect form of understanding, the greatest truth. The picture of the world which this Faith presents is far above the heaps of concepts, beliefs and religions, and is not reached by any great philosophers, ancient or modern, nor attained by idolaters or the followers of distorted scriptures, nor approached by the base materialists. This picture is so bright, clear, beautiful and balanced that the glory of the Islamic belief shines forth as never before. And without doubt those who have grasped this knowledge are superior to all others. [See the chapter "Teeh wa rukam." in the book, "Khasais al- Tasawwar al-Islami wa Muqawwimatuhu", by the author.] The Believer is most superior in his values and standards, by means of which he measures life, events, things and persons. The source of his belief is the knowledge of God and His attributes as described by Islam, and the knowledge of the realities prevalent in the universe at large, not merely on the small earth.

Abi Uthman al-Nahdi anasimulia: Al-Mughira alipovuka daraja na kufika kwenye jeshi la Waajemi, waliamkia kumkalisha, kisha wakamwomba Rustum ruhusa ya kuonana naye. Licha ya kushindwa kwao, hawakubadilisha chochote katika maonyesho yao ya fahari. Al-Mughira aliendelea. Watu wote walikuwa wamevaa mavazi yao ya kijeshi, wengi wakiwa wamevaa taji, na wamejivika mavazi yaliyoshonwa kwa uzi wa dhahabu. Sakafu ilikuwa imefunikwa kwa zulia nene (zulia likienea hadi hatua mia tatu au mia nne), na ilikuwa lazima kulivuka ili kumfikia kamanda. Al-Mughira aliendelea, nywele zake zikiwa zimesukwa kwa mafungu manne, akapanda kwenye kiti cha enzi na kuketi karibu na Rustum. Walinzi wakamrukia na kumvuta chini. Kisha akasema: "Tulisikia kwamba ninyi ni watu wenye akili, lakini naona kwamba ninyi ni taifa lenye upumbavu zaidi. Miongoni mwa Waarabu wote ni sawa, na hakuna mtu aliye mtumwa wa mwingine, isipokuwa mtu anapotekwa katika uwanja wa vita. Nilidhani mnatendeana kwa usawa kama sisi tunavyofanya. Ingekuwa bora zaidi kama mngenijulisha kwamba baadhi yenu ni watawala juu ya wengine, badala ya kunitendea hivi."

"Abi Uthman al-Nahdi reports: When al-Mughira crossed the bridge and reached the Persian army, they seated him and asked Rustum's permission for an audience. In spite of their defeat, they had not changed any of their show of pomp. Al-Mughira proceeded. The people were all in their military uniforms, many wearing crowns, and clothed in gold-threaded garments. The floor was thickly carpeted (the carpet extending to three hundred or four hundred steps) and was to be traversed to reach the general. Al-Mughira proceeded, his hair braided in four braids, and climbed on the throne and sat beside Rustum. The attendants jumped on him and pulled him down. He then said, 'We had heard that you were a sensible people, but I see that you are the most foolish nation. Among Arabs all are equal and no one is slave to another, except when one is captured on the battlefield. I imagined that you treated each other equally as we do. It would have been better if you had informed me that some of you are lords over others rather than treating me like this.
