Introduction
Allah (SWT) ameteremsha Ujumbe wa Uislamu, na ameujenga juu ya itikadi ya Tawheed, ambayo ni imani ya kwamba "hakuna Mungu isipokuwa Allah, Muhammad ﷺ ni Mtume wa Allah." Ni Ujumbe wa jumla na wa kina uliotumwa kwa wanadamu wote. Huamua mambo yote ya maisha na mahusiano yote, ya zamani, ya sasa na ya baadaye. Ujumbe huu hutoa ufumbuzi wa matatizo yote ya kibinadamu, na huamua uhusiano wa mwanadamu na Muumba wake, na nafsi yake mwenyewe, na wanadamu wenzake, katika kila wakati na mahali.
Allah (swt) has revealed the Message of Islam, and based it on the ‘aqeedah of Tawheed, which is the belief in “there is no God but Allah, Muhammad (swt) is the Messenger of Allah.” It is a general and comprehensive Message sent to all mankind. It determines all life’s affairs and all relationships, past, present and future. The Message offers the solutions to all the human problems, and determines man’s relationship with his Creator, with himself, and with his fellow human beings, at all times and places.
Ujumbe wa Kiislamu umetoa majibu kuhusu uhusiano wa Allah (swt) na ulimwengu, na binadamu, na maisha kwa ujumla. Umeshughulikia masuala ya uumbaji na usimamizi wake, uhai na kifo, uongofu na upotofu, riziki na msaada, pamoja na nguvu nyingine zote zinazohusishwa na Allah (swt), kama vile uwezo usio na kikomo, ukamilifu, udhibiti kamili, hiari huru, ujuzi wa juu kabisa juu ya viumbe vyote, na utashi huru juu ya uwezekano wote.
The Islamic Message has provided answers regarding the relationship of Allah (swt) with the universe, with human beings and with life as a whole. It has dealt with issues of creation and its control, life and death, guidance and misguidance, provision and help, and all the other powers associated with Allah (swt), such as omnipotence, perfection, absolute control, free disposition, supreme knowledge over all creatures and free will over all possibilities.
Ujumbe wa Kiislamu pia umetoa majibu kuhusu uhusiano wa binadamu na maisha wanayoishi, pamoja na Allah (SWT), Muumba, ukisisitiza wajibu wa kumwabudu Yeye (SWT) peke yake na kutomshirikisha na chochote, kufuata Amri Zake (SWT) peke yake kwa kuwaacha wengine wote, kutekeleza amri Zake (SWT) na kuepuka makatazo Yake (SWT). Pia umesisitiza wajibu wa kumfuata Mtume wa Allah, Muhammad ﷺ peke yake, kumtii na kukubali mafundisho yake kwa kuwaacha watu wengine wote.
The Islamic Message has also provided answers regarding the relationship of human beings and lives that they lead, with Allah (swt), the Creator, emphasising the obligation of worshipping Him (swt) alone and associating none with Him (swt), abiding only by His (swt) Decrees to the exclusion of all others, and executing His (swt) commands and avoiding His (swt) prohibitions. It also emphasised the obligation of following only the Messenger of Allah, Muhammad (pbuh), obeying him and adopting his teachings to the exclusion of all other people.
Ujumbe wa Kiislamu umeleta dhana mahsusi na thabiti ambazo kwa upande wake zimeunda ustaarabu (hadharah) wa kipekee, ambao kwa njia hiyo umebainisha dhana nzima kuhusu maisha na kuimarisha mitazamo ya wale waliouukubali ndani ya mfumo wa ustaarabu huo. Ujumbe huu umetoa mtazamo kuhusu maisha, ambao ni Halali na Haramu, pamoja na namna mahsusi ya kuishi. Umeanzisha jamii iliyo tofauti katika dhana zake, hisia zake, kanuni zake na haiba za watu wake.
The Islamic Message has brought specific and determined concepts that in turn created a distinguished civilization (hadharah) by which it outlined the whole concept about life and crystallised the perceptions of those who embraced it within the framework of that civilisation. This Message has provided a viewpoint about life, which is the Halal and the Haram, and a specific way of living. It has established a society distinct in its concepts, emotions, rules and the personalities of its individuals.
Ujumbe wa Kiislamu umeleta mfumo kamili wa kisheria unaoweka mahusiano ya dola na jamii, iwe ni kuhusu utawala, uchumi, mambo ya kijamii, elimu, sera za ndani na za nje, au mahusiano hayo yanahusu uhusiano wa umma kati ya dola na raia wake, au kati ya dola na mataifa mengine, katika nyakati za vita au amani. Pia umeweka mahusiano binafsi kati ya watu binafsi katika jamii.
The Islamic Message has brought a complete legislative system that determines the relationships of the state with society, whether regarding ruling, economics, social, educational, domestic and foreign policy, or whether those relationships relate to the public relationships between the state and its subjects or the state and other states and nations, in times of war or peace. It also determined the private relationships between individuals in society.
Kwa hiyo, ni mfumo kamili na wa kina, ulioundwa kwa ajili ya wanadamu, ambao uliwafanya Waislamu wajibu wa kuutekeleza na kuutumia ndani ya dola inayochukua umbo maalum, linalowakilishwa na mfumo wa Khilafah.
It is therefore a complete and comprehensive system, designed for mankind, which made it obligatory on Muslims to implement and execute it in a state that takes a specific shape, represented by the system of Khilafah.
