穆斯林目前正经历最严峻的考验和最惨痛的磨难。对他们而言，有效的补救之道在于能否清醒地认识到自身问题的关键性，并针对每一个关键问题采取攸关生死的措施。如果所要面对的问题涵盖了所有关键问题的总和，这一点就尤为必要。只要这种认识尚未达到足以主导人们的灵魂和周围环境的程度，穆斯林就将持续衰退、堕落，永远无法在诸民族之中复兴。因此，穆斯林有责任辨明自身的关键问题，并使这种认识深入人心、渗透灵魂，弥漫于周围的整个环境之中，从而转化为一种驱使他们采取关键问题所要求的攸关生死措施的认识；并且要以坚定不移的决心和孜孜不倦的热情去行动。这正是问题的核心，也是穆斯林为应对当前所面临的现实而试图采取的一切行动的基础。

The Muslims are at present experiencing the severest of trials and the worst of ordeals. The effective remedy for them lies in the perception of whether their issues are vital or not, and in the undertaking of a life and death measure towards every vital issue. This is particularly necessary if the issue in question encompasses all the vital issues put together. As long as this perception is not achieved in a manner that dominates over the souls of people and the atmospheres around them, the Muslims will continue to be in a constant state of decline and degeneration, and they will never rise among the nations. Therefore, it is incumbent upon the Muslims to discern their vital issues and to have their perception of these issues find its way to the hearts, the souls and the general atmospheres around them so that it becomes a perception that drives them towards undertaking what the vital issues necessitate in terms of life and death measures; and this with an unshakable resolve and unrelenting zeal. This is the point at issue, and this is the basis of all that which the Muslims are attempting to undertake in order to deal with the reality they are currently facing.

穆斯林今天的现实，每一位穆斯林都能真切感受到，无需解释，也无需多加阐述。他们的土地受着kufr（库夫尔）体系的统治，因此这些土地无疑是kufr之地。他们被分裂成四种以上的实体，包括国家（States）、酋长国（Emirates）、苏丹国（Sultanates）和谢赫国（Sheikhdoms）。他们过于软弱，无法抵挡异教徒（Kuffar）。

The reality of the Muslims today is sensed by every Muslim; it does not require any explanation nor does it necessitate any elaboration. Their lands are ruled by Kufr systems, thus they are conclusively Kufr homelands. They are divided into more than four types of entities, including States, Emirates, Sultanates and Sheikhdoms. They are too weak to stand up to the Kuffar.

因此，伊斯兰世界每一个国家的首要关切，就是成为伊斯兰的家园，然后与其余的伊斯兰国家联合起来。这一问题至关重要；实际上，它本身就涵盖了所有重大问题的总和；因此，必须把采取必要的措施视为生死攸关的事务来对待。

Hence the primary issue of concern for every country in the Islamic world is to become Islamic homelands and then unite with the rest of the Islamic countries. This issue is a vital issue; it is moreover the whole of the vital issues put together; thus it is imperative to undertake the necessary measures as a matter of life and death.

然而，这一至关重要的问题，即把这些土地转变为伊斯兰家园并使其与伊斯兰其他土地统一的问题，是穆斯林所追求实现的目标；而实现这一目标所应采取的方法，便是重建哈里发制度。因此，穆斯林今天所面临的问题，就是建立哈里发作为一种统治制度，通过它实现这些土地向伊斯兰家园的转变，进而使其与伊斯兰其他土地统一起来。

However, this vital issue, which is the issue of transforming the lands into the Islamic homeland and uniting them with the rest of the Islamic lands is an objective which the Muslims aim to achieve, and the method which ought to be undertaken to achieve this objective is that of re-establishing Khilafah. Hence the issue facing the Muslims today is the establishment of the Khilafah as a ruling system through which the transformation of the lands into an Islamic household is achieved and consequently to unite them with the rest of the lands of Islam.

然而，必须明确指出，穆斯林今天所面临的，并不仅仅是任命一位哈里发的问题——有人以此为据，认为这是穆斯林的一项足够履行的义务（即"fard kifaya"，集体义务），依据是伊本·欧麦尔所传述的圣人ﷺ所说："谁死时没有为其所处的团体拥立一位伊玛目，他的死就是蒙昧时代的死。"这样一来，此事便成了非关紧要的问题。穆斯林今天真正面临的任务，是建立哈里发制度（Khilafah），这需要将哈里发制度确立为一种统治体系，而这一任务的实际意义远大于任命一位哈里发，尽管建立哈里发制度必然要求任命一位哈里发。

However, it should be made absolutely clear that what is facing the Muslims today is not merely the appointment of a Khaleefah by saying that this is a duty of sufficiency upon the Muslims, according to what ibn Omar reported that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: “And he who dies without an Imam for the group ruling over him, his death is a death of Jahilyyah”, thus making it a non-vital issue. What is rather facing the Muslims today is establishing the Khilafah, which requires generating the Khilafah system as a ruling system, and the reality of this task is greater than the appointment of a Khaleefah, although the establishment of the Khilafah necessitates the appointment of a Khaleefah.

建立哈里发在结论上无疑是一项至关重要的事务,因为它不仅是将我们的土地从Kufr之地变为伊斯兰之地的方法,其建立还旨在摧毁Kufr制度,即旨在消除正在施行的公然的Kufr——这是一项至关重要的事务,因为先知ﷺ说:"除非你们目睹公然的Kufr。"同时,圣训中also提到:他们说:"真主的使者啊,难道我们不应该用剑抵抗他们吗?"他ﷺ说:"不,只要他们仍在你们中间坚持拜功。"因此,实现穆斯林事务的方法是一项至关重要的事务,因为它是一项至关重要事务的方法,并且因为来自Sunnah的沙里亚证据表明它是一项至关重要的事务。所以,必须为此采取生死攸关的措施。

Establishing the Khilafah is conclusively a vital issue, because in addition to being a method to transform our lands from a Kufr homeland into an Islamic homeland, its establishment is also aimed at destroying the Kufr systems; i.e. aimed at removing the flagrant Kufr that is implemented - which is a vital issue, for the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: “Unless you witness a flagrant Kufr.” And also because it is mentioned in the Hadith : “ … They said: “ O Messenger of Allah, should we not resist them with the sword? He (saw) said : No, as long as they continue to establish the Salah among you.” Therefore, the method to achieve the Muslims’ issue is a vital issue, because it is the method of a vital issue, and because the Shari’ah evidence from the Sunnah indicates that it is a vital issue. Thus, it is imperative to undertake towards it the measure of life and death.

然而,自从"كفر"(kufr,即"不信")压在穆斯林的胸口上,他们的事务落入异教徒、伪信者和叛教者之手以来,他们一直试图挣脱异教统治的绞索,以及其主子和代理人的霸权。他们没有认识到,他们所为之奋斗的事情至关重要,而且除了生与死的尺度之外,它没有其他衡量标准。因此,穆斯林群体缺乏洞察力,这使他们作为一个群体或乌玛,丧失了忍受伤害、监禁和酷刑的准备,以及忍受贫困、毁灭和死亡的准备;而这些恰恰是与攸关根本问题的斗争永远不可分割的。因此,这些尝试注定以必然的失败告终,他们在为之奋斗的目标上,未能向前迈出哪怕一步。

However, since the Kufr has been sitting on the Muslims’ chests and since their affairs fell in to the hands of the Kuffar, the hypocrites and the apostates, they have not ceased to attempt to break free from the noose of the Kufr authority and the hegemony of its masters and agents. They failed to realise that the issue for which they were struggling was vital, and that it had no other measure but the measure of life and death. Hence, it was the lack of perception among the group of Muslims, that stripped them in their quality as a group or an Ummah from their readiness to endure harm, imprisonment and torture, in addition to enduring poverty, devastation and death, something which can never be detached from the struggle over the vital issues. Hence, these attempts had been destined to inevitable failure and they failed to move one single step towards achieving the issue they were fighting for.

穆斯林并不需要进行大量的思考和沉思，就能认识到他们所面临的问题是至关重要的。因为从第一刻起就很明显，正如今天任何有眼力的人都能看到的那样，只要库夫尔（不信道者）对那些致力于此的人仍有一丝压迫，伊斯兰在理性上就不可能重新回到政治舞台（回到统治地位）。叛教者和伪信者在罪恶与压迫方面的地位并不低下。他们会在战场上动用手中一切权力，去对抗那些意图从他们手中夺取政权、以建立安拉的律法并通过设立安拉的哈都德（刑法）来守护安拉之神圣事物的信士。

The Muslims were not in need of a great deal of thought and contemplation to perceive that their issue was a vital one. For it was evident from the first moment, just as it is evident today to any sighted person that it is rationally impossible for the Kuffar to enable Islam to return to the political scene (to the rule), as long as they had one iota of oppression against those who work towards this. The rank of the apostates and the hypocrites is not lower in terms of crime and oppression. They will throw everything they have in terms of power in the battlefield to fight those believers who aim at taking the power from them in order to establish the rules of Allah and to protect the sanctities of Allah through establishing the “Hudud” (penal codes) of Allah.

因此,穆斯林在这一问题上所作的任何尝试,若不将其视为关乎生死存亡的根本大事,便不可能有所成效。由于穆斯林未能认清这场斗争的本质,也未能领会真主(SWT)关于这场斗争的正确律则,他们便着手以一种与根本大事不相称的方式来谋求自身的解放。

Therefore, it would be impossible for any attempt undertaken by the Muslims in this issue to bear fruit unless they considered it to be a vital issue, whose achievement depends on the measure of life and death. Due to the fact that the Muslims failed to perceive the nature of the battle and the sound rule of Allah (swt) pertaining to this battle, they set about attempting to liberate themselves in a method unworthy of the vital issues.

因此,他们为此所付出的努力,未达到生死攸关的程度。事实上,对于诸如废除Kufr制度、建立伊斯兰制度这类至关重要的事务而言,无论人们是否将其视为至关重要,只要不是把它们当作生死攸关的大事,并且没有为此采取生死攸关的举措,那么无论力量多么强大、付出的努力多么巨大,都无法实现这些目标。因此,必须坦率地告诉穆斯林,无论是个人还是团体,他们别无选择,只能以生死攸关的举措来开展反对Kufr的斗争,因为此事的性质要求这样的举措,而且沙里亚在《古兰经》和《逊奈》中也已规定了这样的举措。

Hence, their efforts towards this were below the measures of life and death. Indeed, the fact is that in regard to vital issues, such as the removal of the Kufr system and the establishment of the system of Islam, regardless of whether or not they were perceived as vital, one could not succeed in achieving them, no matter how great were one’s force and no matter how tremendous the efforts exhausted were, unless they were considered as being vital and unless measures of life and death were undertaken towards them. Hence, the Muslims should be frankly told, be it individuals or groups, that they have no other choice but to carry out the struggle against Kufr on the basis of the life and death measures, because the nature of the issue at hand necessitates such measures and because the Shari’ah has in the Book and the Sunnah decreed such measures.

此外,使者(ﷺ)已经教导我们如何确定自己的目标,并命令我们在每一件关乎根本的大事上都要采取生死相搏的态度。当真主派他带着伊斯兰的讯息降临,并且他开始通过理智的斗争传播达瓦时,他(ﷺ)确定了自己的目标是伊斯兰的胜利,并为此采取了生死相搏的态度。据传,当他(ﷺ)的叔叔艾布·塔利布告诉他古莱设想要他做的事——即让穆罕默德停止攻击他们——时,他说道:"请你放过我自己,也放过你自己,不要给我加上我无法承受的重担。"使者(ﷺ)对他说:"叔叔啊,以真主发誓,即便他们把太阳放在我的右手、月亮放在我的左手,条件是我放弃这件事,那么在真主使它胜利之前,或者我在此丧生之前,我也绝不会放弃。"当他(ﷺ)建立国家并以剑进行圣战时,他同样确定了自己的目标是伊斯兰的胜利,并为此采取了生死相搏的态度。据报道,当他(ﷺ)在乌斯凡时——那是他前往麦加朝行小朝时,距离麦加两个驿站之地——遇到一个来自拜尼·凯卜部落的人,便问他是否有关于古莱的消息。那人回答说:"古莱人听说了你的到来,他们穿着豹皮出来,在都尔图瓦扎营,发誓绝不让你违背他们的意愿进入麦加。他们的骑兵由哈立德·本·瓦利德率领,已先行派往库拉·安-加米姆。"使者(ﷺ)听后说:"古莱遭殃了!战争已经吞噬了他们。如果他们放任我和其他阿拉伯人各行其道,他们会有什么损失呢?如果他们要杀我,那正是他们所希望的;而如果真主使我战胜他们,他们就会成群结队地皈依伊斯兰。" “如果他们不这样做，只要他们还有力量，就会与我们作战；那么古莱什人在想什么呢？以真主起誓，在真主托付给我的使命得以胜利之前，或者这根颈静脉被割断之前，我都不会停止为这一使命而战。Salifah是颈部的表面，其被割断等同于死亡。”然后真主的使者ﷺ继续前行，直到抵达安-胡代比耶。

Besides, the Messenger of Allah (saw) has taught us how to determine our issues and ordered us to undertake the measures of life and death towards every vital issue. When Allah (swt) sent him with the Message of Islam, and when he started conveying the Da’awah through the intellectual struggle, he (saw) determined his issue as being the triumph of Islam and he undertook towards it the measure of life and death. It is reported that when he (saw) was told by his uncle Abu Talib what Quraysh had wanted from him, i.e. to make Muhammad refrain from attacking them and when he said to him: “Spare me and yourself, and do not put on me a burden greater than I can bear.” The Messenger of Allah (saw) said to him: O uncle, by Allah, if they were to put the sun in my right hand and the moon in my left on condition that I relinquished this matter, until Allah has made it triumphant or I perish therein I would not relinquish it.” When he (saw) established the State and performed Jihad by the sword, he also determined his issue as being the triumph of Islam and he undertook towards this issue the measure of life and death. It has been reported that when he (saw) was in Usfan, two junctions away from Makkah on his way to perform Umrah, he met a man from Bani Ka’ab and asked him whether he had any news about Quraysh. His answer was: “There are Quraysh who have heard of your coming and have come out wearing leopards’ skins and have encamped at Dhu Tuwa vowing that you shall never enter Makkah in defiance of them. This man Khalid ibn ul-Walid is with their cavalry which they have sent in advance to Kura Al-Ghamim.” Upon this the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: “Woe unto Quraysh! War has devoured them. What harm would they have suffered if they have left me and the rest of the Arabs to go our own ways? If they should kill me, that is what they desired, and if Allah should give me victory over them they would enter Islam in flocks. If they do not do that they will fight while they have the strength; so what are Quraysh thinking of ? By Allah, I shall not cease to fight for the mission with which Allah has entrusted me until He makes it triumphant or this Salifah gets severed.” The Salifah is the surface of the neck, and its severance is tantamount to death. Then the Messenger of Allah (saw) continued his March until he reached Al-Hudaybiya.

在这两种情况中：即通过思想斗争承担伊斯兰宣教的情形，以及通过圣战承担宣教的情形，使者ﷺ确定了他的目标，即伊斯兰的胜利；而他ﷺ

In these two cases: the case of carrying the Da’awah through intellectual struggle, and the case of carrying it through Jihad, the Messenger of Allah (saw) determined his issue as being the triumph of Islam, and he (saw)

这一问题被视为攸关生死的根本大事。因此，为此采取了两种情形下都必需且不可避免的举措，即涉及生死的举措。所以，先知穆罕默德ﷺ起初曾说：“叔叔啊，以真主发誓，即便他们把太阳放在我的右手、月亮放在我的左手，条件是我放弃这件事，我也不会放弃，直到真主使它获胜，或我为此殒命。”后来他ﷺ又说：“以真主发誓，我不会停止为真主托付给我的使命而奋斗，直到真主使它获胜，或这个Salifah被斩断。”如果先知穆罕默德ﷺ没有把这一问题视为攸关生死的大事，没有为此采取生死相关的举措，伊斯兰就不会取得胜利，无论是通过理性的努力传达召唤，还是通过圣战以剑传达召唤。今天穆斯林的现实与此相似，即他们受到库夫尔制度的统治，受到异教徒和伪信者的霸权支配；如果他们不把自己的事业视为攸关生死的大事，不为此采取生死相关的举措，他们的努力将毫无成果，也无法向前迈出哪怕一步。

made it a vital issue. Thus, undertaking towards it the required and inevitable measure in both cases, that is the measure of life and death. Therefore, the Messenger of Allah (saw) said in the first instance: “O uncle, by Allah, if they were to put the sun in my right hand and the moon in my left on condition that I relinquished this matter, until Allah has made it triumphant or I perish therein I would not relinquish it.” , and he (saw) said in the second instance: “By Allah, I shall not cease to fight for the mission with which Allah has entrusted me until He makes it triumphant or this Salifah gets severed.” Had the Messenger of Allah (saw) not made this issue a vital one and had he not undertaken the measure of life and death towards it, Islam would not have triumphed, neither by conveying the Da’awah through intellectual struggle, nor by conveying it through Jihad with the sword. This is similar to the Muslims’ reality today, that is the dominance of the Kufr systems over them and the hegemony of the Kuffar and the hypocrites over them; if they do not treat their issue as a vital issue, and if they do not undertake the measure of life and death towards it, their endeavour would not yield anything and they would not be able to move one single step forward.

因此,我们呼吁每一位穆斯林,在这种统治伊斯兰土地的"Kufr"(कुफ्र,即不信)之中,努力建立哈里发制度,以此作为将自己的国家转变为伊斯兰之家、并使其与其他伊斯兰土地联合起来的方法,并将宣教(Daawah)传向全世界,以使伊斯兰获得胜利;同时,怀着真诚的信仰、明晰的认识和自觉,重申先知ﷺ的圣训。

Therefore, we call upon every single Muslim, amidst this Kufr dominating the Islamic lands, to work towards establishing the Khilafah as a method to transform his own country into an Islamic household and unite it with the rest of the Islamic lands and to carry the Da’awah to the world in order to make Islam triumphant, while reiterating with truthful belief, enlightenment and awareness the saying of the Messenger of Allah (saw)

以真主发誓，即使他们把太阳放在我的右手、月亮放在我的左手，条件是我放弃这项事业，我也绝不放弃，直到真主使它获胜，或者我为之殒命。 他的话：以真主发誓，我将继续为真主托付给我的使命而奋斗，直到真主使它获胜，或者这个Salifah被切断。 回历1382年赖哲卜月，公历1962年12月
