伊斯兰是乌玛（穆斯林共同体）的政治事业，其要义在于国家地位的强盛、伊斯兰法规的最佳施行，以及持续不断地将其使命传递给全人类。

The political cause of the Ummah is Islam, in the strength of the status of the State, the best implementation of its rules and continuity in carrying its call to mankind.

政治事业的含义是：国家和乌玛所面临的事务，并且有责任去承担其所需要的一切治理事务。这一问题可能是普遍性的，因而它就是政治事业；也可能是特定的，在这种情况下它是一项政治事业；或者它可能只是某一事务的一部分，因而在这种情况下它就是诸多事业中的一个问题。例如，伊斯兰乌玛所面临、并迫使其承担运作事务所需一切的问题，是重建哈里发制度，因此这就是政治事业；而其他各项事业，比如巴勒斯坦问题和高加索国家问题，都是这一事业的问题。它们虽然是伊斯兰乌玛所面临的问题，也是需要加以处理的事务，但它们是哈里发回归的组成部分。伊斯兰国家建立之后，其政治事业是在国内实施伊斯兰，并在国际上传播伊斯兰的呼召。如果它在某地站稳了脚跟，那么其政治事业就是本条款所述的内容。此后，如果它正确地实施了伊斯兰，并加强了其国际地位，那么其政治事业就会转变为向世界传播伊斯兰的呼召，直到安拉(SWT)使伊斯兰凌驾于所有其他生活方式之上。

The meaning of the words the political cause is the matter that the State and the Ummah face and is a duty upon them to undertake whatever it necessitates from the governing of affairs. This issue could be general, and so it would be the political cause, or it could be specific in which case it would be a political cause, or it could be a part of a matter, and so in which case it would then be an issue from the various issues of the cause. For example, the issue that faces the Islamic Ummah and obliges her to undertake whatever it requires of the running of the affairs is the reestablishment of the Khilafah, so this would be the political cause, and anything else from the various causes such as the case of Palestine and the case of the Caucasus countries are issues of this cause, and though they are issues which the Islamic Ummah faces and they are affairs that need to be taken care of, however they are part of the return of the Khilafah. When the Islamic State is established, its political cause would be to implement Islam domestically and carry the call to Islam internationally, so if it becomes stabilised in a place then its political cause would be the one mentioned in this Article. Subsequently if it implemented Islam correctly and its international profile was strengthened, then its political cause would become carrying the call to Islam to the world, until Allah (swt) made Islam dominant over all other ways of life.

因此，政治事业便是国家与乌玛所面对的重大政治问题，而这些问题正是伊斯兰教法所责成于他们的。所以，国家有义务依照伊斯兰教法对它的要求，努力使其得以确立，而这无需任何经据，因为这本身就是在各类事件发生时将伊斯兰教法的规定付诸实施的一部分。

Therefore, the political cause is what the State and Ummah face from the important political issues that the Shari’ah obligated upon them. So the State is obligated to work to establish it in accordance with what the Shari’ah required of it to do, and this does not require an evidence because it is part of the implementation of the rules of the Shari’ah upon the issues as they occur.

因此,政治事业会随着所发生的事情而改变。先知(愿主赐福他并使他平安)在麦加传教阶段的政治事业,是使伊斯兰公开显扬。因此,当艾布·塔利布对他说:“你的族人来找我,说了这样那样的话,无论他们对你说过什么,请你放过我,也放过你自己,不要让我承受我无法承受的重担”时,先知ﷺ以为他的叔叔会抛弃他、撇下他,而且对他的支持已经减弱,于是他对艾布·塔利布说:

For this reason, the political cause changes as the issues that occur change. The political cause for the Messenger (pbuh) while he was in Makkah in the stage of the call was to make Islam manifest, which is why when Abu Talib said to him: “Your people have come to me and said such and such, whatever they had said to him, so spare me and yourself, and do not make me carry what I cannot bear”, the Messenger (pbuh) thought that his uncle would forsake him and give him up, and his support for him was weakened, so he said to him:

. يَا عَ م، وَاللهِ لَوْ وَضَعُوا الشَّمْسَ فِي يََِينِِ وَالْقَمَرَ فِي يَسَارِي عَلَى أَنْ أَتْرُكَ هَذَا الأَمْرَ « » حَتََّّ يُظْهِرَهُ اللهُ أَوْ أَهْلَكَ دُونَهُ مَا تَرَكْتُه .

. يَا عَ م، وَاللهِ لَوْ وَضَعُوا الشَّمْسَ فِي يََِينِِ وَالْقَمَرَ فِي يَسَارِي عَلَى أَنْ أَتْرُكَ هَذَا الأَمْرَ « » حَتََّّ يُظْهِرَهُ اللهُ أَوْ أَهْلَكَ دُونَهُ مَا تَرَكْتُه .

“叔叔啊，以真主（SWT）发誓，即使他们把太阳放在我的右手、月亮放在我的左手，要我放弃这件事，我也绝不会停止，直到真主（SWT）使它获胜，或我为此而死。”（《伊本·希沙姆传》）这些话表明，先知ﷺ当时的政治目标是让伊斯兰彰显出来。他在麦地那时，国家已经建立，他与主要敌人——当时作为不信之首的古莱什人之间发生了多次战役，他的政治目标始终是让伊斯兰彰显。因此，在前往朝觐的途中，到达侯代白之前，当他得知古莱什人已经知道他在路上，并出动准备与他作战时，部落“白尼·凯卜”的一个人对他说：“他们听说了你的行程，于是穿着虎皮出来，在“泰·图瓦”扎营，并指着真主（SWT）发誓，你绝不能进入。”于是先知ﷺ说：

“O Uncle, by Allah (swt), if they place the sun in my right hand and the moon in my left hand in return for giving up this matter, I will never desist until either Allah (swt) makes it prevail or I perish defending it" (Sirah of Ibn Hisham). These words indicate that the political cause for the Messenger (pbuh) at that time was making Islam manifest. When he was in Madinah, the State had been established and a number of battles occurred between him and the main enemy, the head of disbelief which at that time was the Quraysh, the political cause of him remained the manifestation of Islam. This is why on his way to pilgrimage before reaching Hudaybiyah, after he heard that the Quraysh came to know that he was on the way and had come out in order to fight him, a man from Bani Ka’ab said to him: “They heard about your journey, and so they left wearing tiger skins, and they camped in Thi-Tuwa making oaths to Allah (swt) that you would never enter”, and so the Messenger (pbuh) said:

.» يَا وَيْحَ قُرَيْشٍ ! لَقَدْ أَكَلَتْهُمْ الحَْرْبُ، مَاذَا عَلَيْهِمْ لَوْ خَلَّوْا بيَْنِِ وَبيََْ سَائِرِ النَّاسِ « فَمَاذَا تَظُ ن قُرَيْشٌ؟ وَاللَّهِ، إِنِِّ لا أَزَالُ أُجَاهِدُهُمْ عَلَى الَّذِي بعََثَنِِ اللَّهُ لَهُ حَتََّّ « : إلى أن قال » يُظْهِرَهُ اللَّهُ لَهُ أَوْ تَنْفَرِدَ هَذِهِ السَّالِفَة .

.» يَا وَيْحَ قُرَيْشٍ ! لَقَدْ أَكَلَتْهُمْ الحَْرْبُ، مَاذَا عَلَيْهِمْ لَوْ خَلَّوْا بيَْنِِ وَبيََْ سَائِرِ النَّاسِ « فَمَاذَا تَظُ ن قُرَيْشٌ؟ وَاللَّهِ، إِنِِّ لا أَزَالُ أُجَاهِدُهُمْ عَلَى الَّذِي بعََثَنِِ اللَّهُ لَهُ حَتََّّ « : إلى أن قال » يُظْهِرَهُ اللَّهُ لَهُ أَوْ تَنْفَرِدَ هَذِهِ السَّالِفَة .

“woe upon Quraysh”——“战争已经毁了他们。若他们让我去对付其余的阿拉伯人，对他们有什么损失呢”，直到他的话：“古莱什人怎么想？以真主（SWT）起誓，我将以真主（SWT）派我所带来的一切继续与他们作战，直到真主（SWT）使之胜利，或直到我死去（Salifah 是分开的）”（由艾哈迈德据 Al-Maswar 和 Marwan 所传）。Salifah 指颈部的表面，先知穆罕默德ﷺ用它的分离作为死亡的比喻；换言之：“直到死亡”。

“Woe upon Quraysh! War has destroyed them. What would it matter to them if they left me to deal with the rest of the Arabs” until his words: “What does Quraysh think? By Allah (swt), I will continue to fight them with what Allah (swt) sent me until Allah (swt) makes it prevail or until I die (Salifah is separate)” (reported by Ahmad from Al-Maswar and Marwan). The Salifah is the surface of the neck, and the Messenger (pbuh) used its separation as a metaphor for death; in other words: “until death”.

因此，两种情况下的政治起因是相同的。然而，在第一种情况下，他明确表示坚持继续传达伊斯兰的呼吁，直到安拉（SWT）使其彰显；而在第二种情况下，换言之，即在国家建立之时，他明确表示坚持圣战，直到安拉（SWT）使伊斯兰彰显。

So the political cause in both situations was the same. However, in the first situation he made clear his insistence to continue conveying the call to Islam until Allah (swt) made it manifest, and in the second situation, in other words, at the time the State was established, he made clear his insistence upon Jihad until Allah (swt) made Islam manifest.

在先知与古莱氏达成停战协议之后——这是一个伟大的开端，因为它为征服麦加做好了准备，并使阿拉伯人成群结队地来到安拉的使者ﷺ面前皈依伊斯兰教——此时，使者ﷺ的政治目标已不仅仅是彰显伊斯兰，而是要使伊斯兰在通过与奉行其他生活方式的国家作战（例如罗马人和波斯人）而彰显并凌驾于所有其他生活方式之上。这就是为什么《胜利章》被降示给他ﷺ，其中包括安拉（SWT）的话语：

After the Prophet arrived at an armistice treaty with the Quraysh, which was the great opening, since it was the preparation for the conquest of Makkah and made the Arabs come to the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) embracing the religion of Islam in droves, at which point the political cause for the Messenger (pbuh) was not simply making Islam manifest but rather it became making it manifest and dominant over all other ways of life through battles against the states following other ways of life, such as the Romans and Persians. This is the reason why the Surah of Al-Fateh was revealed to him , including the words of Allah (swt):

“正是祂派遣了他的使者（愿主赐福他并使他平安）携带正道与真理之教，使其凌驾于一切宗教之上。”（TMQ 48:28）因此，若伊斯兰国将伊斯兰教实施得当，其国际形象又十分强大，那么其政治目标就将是使伊斯兰教凌驾于其他一切宗教之上，并为击败那些信奉其他意识形态和宗教的人做好准备。

“It is He who sent His Messenger (pbuh) with guidance and the religion of truth to manifest it over all religion.” (TMQ 48:28). So accordingly, if the Islamic State implemented Islam well, and its international profile was strong, the political cause for it would become making Islam dominant over all other religions and preparation for defeating those who carry other ideologies and other religions.
