赞美归于安拉，我们赞美祂，寻求祂的帮助和宽恕。我们向安拉寻求庇护，以免受自身的邪恶和我们所作恶行的伤害。凡是安拉引导的人，无人能使其迷误；凡是祂使其迷失的人，无人能引导其正道。我作证：除安拉之外别无应受崇拜的主，祂是独一的，没有配偶，也没有同伴；我作证：穆罕默德ﷺ是祂的仆人和使者ﷺ。

Praise be to Allaah, we praise Him and seek His help and forgiveness. We seek refuge with Allaah from the evil of our own selves and from our evil deeds. Whomsoever Allaah guides cannot be misled, and whomsoever He leaves astray cannot be guided. I bear witness that there is no god except Allaah alone, with no partner or associate, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.

安拉使仆人们享有某些吉祥的季节,在这些季节里,善功的回报会成倍增加,恶行会被宽恕,人的品位会得到提升,信士的心会转向他们的主,自我净化的人获得成功,自我败坏的人遭受失败。安拉创造仆人们是为了崇拜祂,正如祂所说(大意):“我创造精灵和人类,只是为了让他们崇拜我。”[《播种者》51:56] 最伟大的功修之一是斋戒,安拉已将其定为仆人们的义务,正如祂所说(大意):

Allaah has blessed His slaves with certain seasons of goodness, in which hasanaat (rewards for good deeds) are multiplied, sayi’aat (bad deeds) are forgiven, people’s status is raised, the hearts of the believers turn to their Master, those who purify themselves attain success and those who corrupt themselves fail. Allaah has created His slaves to worship Him, as He says (interpretation of the meaning): “And I (Allaah) created not the jinns and humans except that they should worship Me (Alone).” [al-Dhaariyaat 51:56] One of the greatest acts of worship is fasting, which Allaah has made obligatory on His slaves, as He says (interpretation of the meaning):

“……你们奉命斋戒，正如前人奉命斋戒一样，以便你们成为敬畏者。”{《黄牛章》2:183} 真主勉励祂的仆人封斋：

“… Observing al-sawm (the fasting) is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you, that you may become al-muttaqoon (the pious).” [al-Baqarah 2:183] Allaah encourages His slaves to fast:

“……你们若知道，斋戒对你们更好。”[《古兰经》2:184，意译]他引导他们感谢真主使斋戒成为他们的义务。

“… And that you fast, it is better for you, if only you know.” [al-Baqarah 2:184 – interpretation of the meaning] He guides them to give thanks to Him for having made fasting obligatory on them:

“……你们当赞颂真主，因为祂引导了你们，好让你们感恩。”［黄牛章 2:185，经文大意］祂使斋戒对他们而言变得可爱，并使其易于完成，以免人们因要戒除习惯和惯常之事而感到过于艰难。真主说（经文大意）：

“… that you should magnify Allaah for having guided you so that you may be grateful to Him.” [al-Baqarah 2:185 – interpretation of the meaning] He has made fasting dear to them, and has made it easy so that people do not find it too hard to give up their habits and what they are used to. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

"……在一定的日子里……"[黄牛 2:184] 他对他们怀有慈悲，使他们远离艰难和伤害，正如他所说（经义大意）：

“… for a fixed number of days…” [al-Baqarah 2:184] He has mercy on them and keeps them away from difficulties and harm, as He says (interpretation of the meaning:

“……但若你们中有人患病或在旅途中，则应从其他日子补足同等的天数……”[al-Baqarah 2:184] 因此，在这个月里，信士们的心转向他们至慈至悯的主，敬畏他们在上的主，并希望获得他的回赐和伟大的成功（乐园），这也就不足为奇了。

“… but if any of you is ill or on a journey, the same number (should be made up) from other days…” [al-Baqarah 2:184] No wonder then, that in this month the hearts of the believers turn to their Most Merciful Lord, fearing their Lord above them, and hoping to attain His reward and the great victory (Paradise).

鉴于这项崇拜行为的地位极为崇高，学习与斋月相关的教律至关重要，以便穆斯林知道哪些是必须履行的义务，从而去做；哪些是禁止的，从而避开；哪些是允许的，从而不必因剥夺自己而使自己陷入困难。

As the status of this act of worship is so high, it is essential to learn the ahkaam (rulings) that have to do with the month of fasting so that the Muslim will know what is obligatory, in order to do it, what is haraam, in order to avoid it, and what is permissible, so that he need not subject himself to hardship by depriving himself of it.

本书是对斋戒的律例、礼仪和逊奈的概述。愿安拉使它对我自己和穆斯林兄弟们有益。赞颂归于安拉，众世界的主。

This book is a summary of the rulings, etiquette and Sunnah of fasting. May Allaah make it of benefit to myself and my Muslim brothers. Praise be to Allaah, Lord of the Worlds.
