自伊斯兰之初，伊斯兰思想与Kufr思想之间、穆斯林与库法尔之间的激烈斗争就十分尖锐。当安拉的使者ﷺ被派遣时，这场斗争仅仅是思想层面的，并未与任何物质层面的斗争相关联。这种状况一直持续到伊斯兰国在麦地那建立，那时军队和权力得以确立，从此以后，安拉的使者ﷺ

The fierce struggle between the Islamic thoughts and the Kufr thoughts, and between the Muslims and the Kuffar, has been intense ever since the dawn of Islam. When the Messenger of Allah (saw) was sent, the struggle was only an intellectual one, and was not associated with any material struggle. This status quo continued until the Islamic State was established in Madinah, whereupon the army and the authority were established and since then, the Messenger of Allah (saw)

将物质上的斗争与思想上的斗争结合起来。圣战的经文降下,斗争随之继续。它将以这种方式延续下去——流血的斗争与思想的斗争并行——直到末日来临,真主(SWT)继承大地及其上的一切。正因如此,库夫尔是伊斯兰的敌人;也正因如此,只要世上仍有伊斯兰与库夫尔、穆斯林与库夫不信者并存,库夫不信者便会是穆斯林的敌人,直到所有人复活。这是一个决定性的、恒久不变的事实。因此,穆斯林在其一生的任何时候都应清楚理解这一点,并以此作为衡量伊斯兰与库夫尔之间、穆斯林与库夫不信者之间关系的准则。

combined the material struggle with the intellectual struggle. The verses of Jihad were revealed and the struggle went on. It will continue in this way - a bloody struggle alongside the intellectual struggle - until the Hour comes and Allah (swt) inherits the Earth and those on it. This is why Kufr is an enemy of Islam, and this is why the Kuffar will be the enemies of the Muslims as long as there is Islam and Kufr in this world, Muslims and Kuffar, until all are resurrected. This is a decisive and a constant fact. Hence the understanding of it should remain clear to the Muslims at all times throughout the whole of their life, and it should be taken as a criterion to judge the relationships between Islam and Kufr and between the Muslims and the Kuffar.

纯粹的思想斗争持续了十三年。这是最严酷、最激烈的一场斗争。最终，伊斯兰思想战胜了库夫尔思想，安拉（SWT）使伊斯兰获得了胜利。维护穆斯林尊严、作为伊斯兰盾牌、并通过圣战在人们中传播正道的国家，在麦地那建立起来。

The pure intellectual struggle continued for thirteen years. It was the harshest and most ferocious of struggles. Eventually the Islamic thoughts vanquished the Kufr thoughts, and Allah (swt) made Islam triumphant. The State that protects the honour of the Muslims and is the shield of Islam and spreads the guidance amongst people by way of Jihad, was established in Madinah.

伊斯兰与Kufr之间、穆斯林军队与Kuffar军队之间，最激烈、最残酷的战争接连爆发。所有这些战争的胜利都归于穆斯林。尽管穆斯林在一些战役中失利，但他们始终赢得了战争，六个世纪以来未曾输掉一场战争，在那段时期的所有战争中都保持着胜利。伊斯兰国在整个那段时期始终是领先的国家。除穆斯林之外，人类从未出现过这种情况，这只属于伊斯兰国。然而，不信者，尤其是欧洲国家，一直密切关注伊斯兰，因为他们想要攻击它；他们也一直密切关注穆斯林，因为他们想要摧毁穆斯林的实体。每当有机会时，他们便试图攻击穆斯林或暗中策划对付穆斯林。

The fiercest and harshest of wars between Islam and Kufr and between the Muslim and the Kuffar armies broke out in successive battles. Victory in all these wars was to the Muslims. Although the Muslims were defeated in some of the battles, they however always won the war, and they did not lose a war for six centuries, rather remaining victorious in all of their wars during that time. The Islamic State remained the leading nation throughout the whole of that period. Apart from the Muslims, this has never happened to mankind, rather it has been exclusive to the Islamic State. However the disbelievers, especially the European states, had been mindful of Islam, for they wanted to attack it, and they had been mindful of the Muslims, for they wanted to destroy their entity. They attempted to attack or conspire against the Muslims whenever the opportunity arose.

在伊斯兰历第六世纪末（公元十一世纪）至第七世纪初（公元十二世纪）之间，欧洲各国察觉到伊斯兰国统治体系的状况：各个省（Wilayah）从国家整体中分离出去，一些总督（Wali）宣布独立。

Between the end of the sixth century Hijri (eleventh century CE) and the beginning of the seventh century Hijri (twelfth century CE), the European countries sensed the condition that the ruling system in the Islamic State had reached regarding the fragmentation of the Wilayahs (provinces) from the body of the state, and the independence of some Walis (governors)

在武装部队、财政、权威等涉及内部政策的关键领域，（各地）实际上已经独立行事。事实上，它们已逐渐更像是一个联邦式的诸国集合，而非一个统一的国家。在一些省份（Wilayah），哈里发的权威已被削减至仅剩讲坛上为他做的祈祷、以他的名字铸造钱币，以及从哈拉只税（Kharaj）中向他寄送一定数额的钱款。欧洲各国察觉到了这一点，于是派出十字军来攻打穆斯林，战争随之爆发。穆斯林在这场战争中战败，异教徒占领了整个沙姆地区。

in key areas concerning the internal policy such as the armed forces, finance, authority and the like. In fact, they had become more like a federation of states rather than a single united state. The Khaleefah’s authority had been reduced in some Wilayahs to the supplication for him on the pulpits, minting coins bearing his name and sending him an amount of money from the Kharaj. The European states had sensed this, hence they dispatched the crusades against the Muslims, and war broke out. The Muslims were defeated in this war and the Kuffar captured the whole of Al-Sham :

巴勒斯坦、黎巴嫩和叙利亚。他们占领这些地区长达数十年，其中一些地区，例如的黎波里，甚至被他们控制了一百年。

Palestine, Lebanon and Syria. They occupied these territories for decades, even keeping some areas such as Tripoli for a hundred years.

尽管十字军与穆斯林之间的战事在一百年间持续不断,穆斯林收复其被十字军夺去之地的努力也从未停歇,但这些战争确实动摇了伊斯兰乌玛,也降低了伊斯兰国家的地位。穆斯林输掉了这场战争,被异教徒击败。这场战争的胜利属于异教徒,而非穆斯林。尽管在思想和精神层面,库夫尔对伊斯兰的胜利从未实现,但穆斯林所遭受的羞辱与耻辱却是难以想象的。因此,十字军时代被视为穆斯林的失败时代:尽管最终他们在与十字军的战斗中获胜,将其逐出黎凡特地区,但他们并未继续进行征服,也未继续与不信者作战。十字军东征刚刚结束,蒙古人便接踵而至,巴格达惨遭屠戮。这一挫折之后,同年大马士革又落入蒙古人之手(656年)。

Although the battles which took place between the crusaders and the Muslims were continuous throughout the hundred years, and although the Muslims’ attempts at recapturing the lands over which the crusaders defeated them did not subside, these wars did however unsettle the Islamic Ummah, and they lowered the status of the Islamic State. The Muslims lost the war and they were defeated by the Kuffar. Victory in the war was to the Kuffar against the Muslims. Although the victory of Kufr against Islam never materialised, neither intellectually nor spiritually, the shame and humiliation which befell the Muslims was beyond imagination. Thus, the era of the crusades, is considered an era of defeat for the Muslims, for despite their victory in the end against the crusaders with their expulsion from Al-Sham, they did not pursue the conquests and the wars with the disbelievers. No sooner had the crusades ended, the Mongols arrived, and the massacre of Baghdad took place. This setback was followed by the fall of Damascus at the hands of the Mongols in the same year, (656

AH, 1258 CE)。随后是公元1260年9月3日的艾因贾卢特之战,蒙古人在此战中被消灭。蒙古人覆灭之后,穆斯林心中重燃圣战的激情,他们感到有必要重新将伊斯兰的召唤传播到世界各地。于是,穆斯林对异教徒的征服重新开始,对拜占庭的圣战也得以恢复。战事接连爆发,胜利接踵而至。大约在伊斯兰历第七世纪(公元13世纪),伊斯兰民族重新展开了征服。战争持续不断,多次战役相继发生,穆斯林始终是最后的胜利者。虽然他们在某些战役中失利,但总能赢得战争并征服土地。伊斯兰国家是领先的强国,她在长达四个世纪的时间里一直保持着首屈一指的地位,直到伊斯兰历第十二世纪中叶(公元18世纪)。此后,欧洲出现了工业革命,其势头引人注目,并对各国的实力产生了深远影响。穆斯林对这场革命茫然无措、无所作为,于是世界的力量平衡发生了改变,伊斯兰国家开始逐步从领先的位置上滑落,最终成为贪婪者觊觎的目标。因此,她开始丧失自己所征服的土地以及此前处于其统治之下的领土。异教国家一块接一块地从她手中夺取伊斯兰的土地,这标志着穆斯林由盛转衰的开始。从那时起,欧洲国家开始专注于将伊斯兰国家从国际舞台上除名,并彻底将伊斯兰从人们的生活事务和人与人之间的关系中驱逐出去。换言之,他们开始谋划一场新的十字军东征。 然而,与第一次十字军东征不同,新的十字军东征不仅仅是一场旨在击败穆斯林、消灭伊斯兰国的军事入侵。新的十字军东征更加可怕,产生了更为深远的后果。它们旨在连根拔除伊斯兰国,使其不留任何痕迹,也使任何一个根系都无法再次生长。它们还旨在把伊斯兰从穆斯林的灵魂中连根拔除,使其中除了一系列宗教仪式和精神礼节之外,别无所存。

AH, 1258 CE). Then came the battle of Ayn Jaloot on 3rd September 1260 where the Mongols were destroyed. In the wake of the destruction of the Mongols, the emotions of Jihad were aroused in the souls of the Muslims, and they sensed the need for a resumption of carrying the Da’awah to the world. Hence, the Muslim conquests of the Kuffar began once again, and Jihad against the Byzantines was resumed. Battles broke out and successive victories followed. It was around the seventh century of Hijrah (the 13th century CE) when the Islamic Ummah resumed the conquests. The wars continued and several successive battles took place, and the Muslims always emerged as the victorious, for although the Muslims were beaten in some battles, they used to win the wars and conquer the lands. The Islamic State was the leading nation and she continued to occupy the premier position for four centuries, until the mid 12th century AH (the 18th century CE). Then the industrial revolution in Europe emerged in a remarkable manner that had a profound impact on the states’ powers. Muslims stood idle and confused by this revolution, hence the balance of power in the world changed and the Islamic state began her slide from the leading spot gradually, until eventually she became the coveted object of the greedy. Hence, she started evacuating the lands she had conquered and the lands which had been previously under her authority. The disbelieving countries started usurping from her the land of Islam piece by piece, and this marked the start of the ebb and the end of the tide for the Muslims. Since then, the European countries started to focus upon the removal of the Islamic State from the international scene, and upon the complete removal of Islam from life’s affairs and from the relationships between people. In other words, they started thinking about a new campaign of crusades. However unlike the first crusades, the new crusades were to be more than just a military invasion to defeat the Muslims and vanquish the Islamic State. The new crusades were more horrific and had more profound consequences. They were designed to uproot the Islamic State so that no trace of it would be left, and so that not one single root would be able to grow again. They were designed also to uproot Islam from the souls of the Muslims so that nothing could remain except a host of clerical rites and spiritual rituals.
