10.2.3 Taqwa(敬畏)——第一道防线
10.2.3 Taqwa - The First Line of Defence
作为穆斯林,你懂得你对伊斯兰的信仰,以及对你的造物主安拉(SWT)顺从的信念,会使你以某种方式行事。你的敬畏(taqwa)会促使你远离被禁止的事物(haram),履行必尽的义务(fard)。因此,它会自然地帮助你和你周围的穆斯林避免犯下诸如盗窃、抢劫、吸毒等罪行——这些都是haram。
As a Muslim, you appreciate that your belief in Islam, and the notion of obedience to your creator Allah (swt), causes you to behave in a certain way. Your taqwa (fear of Allah) will motivate you to leave what is prohibited (haram), and do what is obligatory (fard). Thus it will automatically help to prevent you and other Muslims around you from committing crimes, like theft, mugging, drug abuse etc. - these are all haram.
对于穆斯林而言,此后的问题就不再是权衡犯罪可能被抓获的风险,而是要面对火狱的刑罚,那是全知、全见的真主(SWT)为迷途者所预备的!
For the Muslim, the issue thereafter becomes not weighing up the risks of committing a crime for which there is a possibility of being caught. Instead it is a matter of facing the punishment of the Hellfire, which Allah (swt), the All-Knowing, All-Seeing, prepares for those who go astray!
