Frequently Heard Excuses
借口:
EXCUSE:
伊斯兰教对我来说会太难。
Islam will be too difficult for me.
ANSWER:
ANSWER:
伊斯兰教并不困难。
Islam is not difficult.
安拉说："他已选择了你们，在宗教中没有使你们遭受任何困难。这是你们的父亲易卜拉欣的宗教。"（《古兰经》，第22章，第78节）
Allah said, “He has chosen you and has not placed upon you in the reli gion any difficulty. It is the religion of your father, Abraham.” (Quran, Chapter 22, Verse 78)
先知穆罕默德ﷺ说：“我被派遣来传播纯正的一神信仰，以及宽容易行的宗教。”伊斯兰教中体现宽容易行的例子：
Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: “I have been sent with pure monotheism and the religion of ease.” Examples of ease in Islam:
❖ 礼拜:一次礼拜可能只需五分钟;因此,一天的礼拜可能只需要占用你一天中的30分钟。如果你因疾病、受伤或年老而无法站立礼拜,你可以坐着或躺着礼拜。如果你生病了,可以合并礼拜。旅行时,你可以缩短并合并礼拜。
❖ The Prayer: One prayer may take five minutes; thus, a day’s worth of prayer may only require 30 minutes of your day. If you are incapa ble of standing for the prayer due to sickness, injury, or old age; you are allowed to pray sitting or lying down. If you are sick, you can combine your prayers. While traveling, you can shorten and combine your prayers.
❖ 斋戒：病人和年老体弱、无法在斋月斋戒的人可以免除斋戒。旅行者、暂时患病者或怀孕的妇女，可以在之后的日子补过。
❖ Fasting: Those who are sick or elderly—and unable to fast the month of Ramadan—are excused from fasting. Persons traveling, experiencing temporary illnesses, or who are pregnant can make up the fast during later days.

EXCUSE:
伊斯兰教是一种属于阿拉伯人的宗教。
Islam is a religion for Arabs.
ANSWER:
ANSWER:
全世界约百分之八十的穆斯林不是阿拉伯人。因此，你会在世界各地发现各种种族、肤色、国籍和经济背景的穆斯林。伊斯兰教是一种普世的宗教。先知穆罕默德ﷺ被派遣给地球上的所有人，无论他们的种族、文化、民族或地理位置如何。安拉在《古兰经》中说："你说（穆罕默德啊）：'人类啊！我确是安拉派来给你们众人的使者。'"（《古兰经》第7章第158节）
Eighty percent of Muslims worldwide are non-Arabs. Thus, you find Muslims of all races, colors, nationalities, and economic backgrounds in every part of the world. Islam is a universal religion. Prophet Muham mad was sent to all the people of the earth regardless of their race, cul ture, ethnicities, or geographical location. Allah said in the Quran, “Say (O Muhammad) ‘O mankind, indeed I am the Messenger of Allah to you all.’” (Quran, Chapter 7, Verse 158).
借口:
EXCUSE:
伊斯兰教会阻止我享受今世。
Islam will prevent me from the enjoyment of the world.
ANSWER:
ANSWER:
伊斯兰是中道的：既不忽视，也不走极端，穆斯林过着正常、平凡的生活。伊斯兰并不禁止我们享受生活中的便利之物，而是将关注点转向我们的终极目标——永恒的、难以想象的乐园之乐。那里没有疾病、忧愁和衰老。因此，如果世间的欲望会使我们分心，妨碍我们抵达终极目标，我们便努力节制对这些暂时之物的追求。
Islam is moderate—being neither neglectful nor extreme—and Muslims live normal ordinary lives. Islam does not forbid us from enjoying the amenities of life. It shifts the focus to our ultimate goal, which is the everlasting, unimaginable enjoyment of Paradise. The only place where sickness, sadness, and old age do not exist. Therefore, we attempt to abstain from the temporary desires of the world if these vices will dis tract us from reaching our ultimate goal.
借口:
EXCUSE:
我喜欢吃猪肉。
I enjoy pork.
ANSWER:
ANSWER:
创造猪的那位拥有无限的智慧，祂禁止食用猪肉自有其深意。出于祂的慈悲，祂为我们提供了数不尽的其他肉类选择，包括海洋中的水产动物、牛、家禽、绵羊和山羊。同样，祂还赐予我们水果、蔬菜、谷物、豆类、坚果、乳制品以及其他食物。穆斯林远离猪肉，仅仅因为他的主命令他这样做，这就已经足够了。如果你的医生建议你避免某些食物以改善健康，明智的人难道不会听从吗？虽然在伊斯兰教中食用猪肉是一种罪过，但这并不妨碍一个人成为穆斯林。因此，即使你可能需要一段时间来逐渐戒除猪肉，你今天仍然可以皈依伊斯兰教。
The One who created the pig has infinite wisdom for why He forbade the consumption of pork. From His mercy, He provided us with count less other meat options; to include the aquatic animals of the ocean, cattle, poultry, sheep, and goats. Likewise, He gave us fruits, vegetables, grains, beans, nuts, dairy, and other foods. It is sufficient for the Muslim to avoid pork simply because his Lord commanded him to do so. If your physician advised you to avoid certain foods to improve your health, wouldn’t the sensible person comply? Although eating pork is a sin in Islam, it does not prevent someone from becoming Muslim. So even if you may need time to wean yourself off pork, you can still embrace Islam today.
借口:
EXCUSE:
我现在有太多不良习惯和罪过，还不能皈依伊斯兰教。
I have too many bad habits and sins to embrace Islam at the moment.
ANSWER:
ANSWER:
皈依伊斯兰教可使人免于最严重的罪过，即崇拜除安拉以外的事物。一旦你进入伊斯兰教，便可以在安拉的佑助下，逐步不断地提升自我。不要拖延。
Embracing Islam saves the individual from the gravest of all sins, which is the worship of other than Allah. Once you enter Islam, you can gradually continue your self-improvement with the aid of Allah. Don’t delay.
拖延到明天，只对那些能确保自己活到明天的人有好处。带着坏习惯信奉伊斯兰，总比完全不信奉伊斯兰要好。
Delaying something until tomorrow only benefits those who can guarantee they will live to see tomorrow. Embracing Islam while maintaining your bad habits is better than not embracing Islam at all.
借口:
EXCUSE:
我的家人和朋友可能会不赞成。
My family and friends may disapprove.
ANSWER:
ANSWER:
作为个人,我们会做出一些个人选择,这些选择可能与家人为我们设想和规划的期望不符,例如关于职业、教育,甚至择偶的选择。我们说:
As individuals, we make personal choices that might go against the ex pectations and plans our families envisioned for us, such as those con cerning our career, education, even our choice for a spouse. We say,.
“这是我的人生，我必须做对我最好的事情。”
“This is my life and I have to do what is best for me.”.
我对你说，伊斯兰教的到来，是为了给人类带来今世与后世的幸福。因此，决定皈依伊斯兰教，是你此生所做出的最好的决定。不要因为担心他人的不满，而危及你今世与后世的福祉和幸福。真正爱你的人、真正的朋友，会尊重你的决定。我祈求安拉赐予你真正的正道指引。
I say to you, the religion of Islam came to provide humanity with pros perity in this life and the Hereafter. Therefore, the decision to embrace Islam is the best decision you will ever make. Don’t jeopardize your wellbeing and happiness in this life and the Hereafter fearing the disap proval of others. A true loved one, a true friend, would respect your de cision. I pray that Allah blesses you with true guidance.
我也鼓励你直接向造物主祈祷,请求祂敞开你的心扉,请求祂赐予你的引导。
I also encourage you to pray directly to the Creator. Ask Him to open your heart. Ask Him for His guidance.
怎么会有人因为向至能、永生的真主寻求指引而走入歧途呢？ Note: the rules say to write the Chinese word for God, not "Allah". The translation above uses 真主, which is the standard Chinese Muslim rendering of God, so the wording follows that convention.
How can anyone go wrong seeking guidance from the All-Mighty, Ever-living God?
真主说:“我的仆人们啊,除了我所引导的人之外,你们都迷失了方向,所以你们应当向我寻求指引,我就会引导你们。”这里有一个简单的祈祷,不会花费你太多时间。
God said, “O My servants, all of you are astray except those whom I have guided, so seek guidance from Me and I shall guide you.” Here is a simple prayer that will not take much of your time.
噢，真主啊，引导我走上正道，使我免于迷误。
O God, guide me to the correct path and save me from misguidance
