问题160:在崇拜中,"Ihsan"(完美的信仰)是什么意思?
Q 160: What does Ihsan (perfection of Faith) in worship mean?
A--- 先知(愿主福安之)就此事被问及时作了解释,当时天使吉卜利里(愿主福安之)问道:"就是你要敬拜真主,仿佛你看见祂;你虽然看不见祂,但祂确实看见你。"(布哈里和穆斯林辑录)因此,先知(愿主福安之)阐明了有两种不同的层次。
A--- The Prophet (Peace be upon him) explained it when asked about it by Gabriel (Peace be upon him) saying: "That you worship Allah as if you are seeing Him, for though you don't see Him, He, verily, sees you." (Bukhari and Muslim) Thus, the Prophet (Peace be upon him) explained that there are two different ranks:
第一:见证之境:即仆人以心见证真主至高无上。这意味着心被信仰之光照亮,洞察力愈加敏锐,直至幽玄之事在他眼前显现。诚然,这便是伊赫桑(至善信仰)之境的实质。
First: The Seeing rank: that the worshiper acts upon his seeing of Allah the Almighty with his heart. This means that the heart gets illuminated with the light of faith, the insight gets sharper till the unseen becomes visible before his eyes. Verily, this is the reality of the Ihsan (Perfection of Faith) rank.
第二层次:监察的层次。即仆人时刻想到安拉对他的监察、安拉的临近,以及安拉对他所有事情的洞知。若仆人在行为时想到这一点,并据此行事,他就会对安拉忠诚。因为这能使他在行善时不去在意安拉之外的任何人。这两种层次的人所得的回报,依各人内心的纯净与鲜活的洞察而有所不同。
Second: The Watching rank: that the worshipper recalls the Watching of Allah over him and His Nearness and Knowing of all things (pertaining to him). Upon this, if the worshipper recalls this while acting and acted thereupon, he will be loyal to Allah. This is because this prevents him from caring for other than Allah the Almighty upon performing acts. The reward of the people of these two ranks differs according to each one's pure and live insight.
