11. 复兴之道
11. The Way to Revival
对信士而言,生命中没有任何事比寻求造物主(SWT)的喜悦更为重要。正是祂从无到有创造了人类,也正是祂值得我们在一切行为中给予最崇高的敬重与崇拜。正如安拉(SWT)所命令的:
Nothing in life is of greater importance to the Mu‘min (believer) than to seek the pleasure of the Creator (swt). It is He that created man from nothing and He that commands the utmost respect and worship in all our actions. As Allah (swt) commanded:
“我创造精灵和人类,只是为了让他们崇拜我。”[TMQ 51:56]。真主(SWT)不仅创造了人类,还在我们内心赋予了思考能力,使我们能够回应自身的本能。我们可以选择行善或作恶,选择遵循至高者的引导,或是沉沦于虚妄之中;而这一准则完全由真主(SWT)所确定:“你当遵从主降示你的启示,真主确知你们的所作所为。”[TMQ 33:2]。以及,
“I have not created jinn and man except to worship Me.” [TMQ 51:56]. Allah (swt) not only created man, but also made within us the capacity to think and respond to our instincts. We have the choice of doing right or wrong, of following the Supreme’s guidance or descending into falsehood, the criterion solely defined by Allah (swt): “Follow what is revealed to you from your Lord. And Allah is aware of all things you do” [TMQ 33:2]. and,.
“然后,我使你遵循一条律法(Shari‘ah),借此你的目标将得以实现:所以你应当遵循这条道路,而不要顺从那些毫无知识之人的私欲。”[TMQ 45:18]
“Then We set you upon a way (Shari‘ah) by which your purpose will be fulfilled: so follow this way and not the whims of those who have no knowledge.” [TMQ 45:18].
遵循并全面落实这一Shari'ah(沙里亚)是当今穆斯林面临的最大挑战。的确,若不将伊斯兰应用于生活的一切事务,我们就不能说自己是在依照伊斯兰而生活。要实现这一崇高目标,就必须终结穆斯林世界各地所推行的、以不信之体系为特征的腐败之假象。然而,只要穆斯林乌玛仍然……
The following of and full implementation of this Shari‘ah is the greatest challenge facing the Muslims of today, indeed without this application of Islam to all of lifes affairs, we cannot say we are living by Islam. The sham of corruption characterised by the systems of disbelief which are implemented throughout the Muslim world must come to an end for us to achieve this noble goal. But as long as the Muslim Ummah stays.
(SWT)赐予乌玛(Ummah)的。只要真诚而积极的穆斯林把时间浪费在次要事务上——只专注于慈善、福利、教育、医疗服务,甚至以个人的武装斗争作为解决我们政治问题的方案——那么我们就会推迟实现我们的关键政治目标:重建哈里发制度,而这一制度才能确保沙里亚(Shari‘ah)得到全面实施。
(swt) granted to the Ummah. And as long as the sincere, active Muslims waste their time on side issues, solely involving themselves with such things as acts of charity, welfare, education, healthcare provision or even the individual military struggle as the solution to our political problems then we will delay the achievement of our key political goal - the re-establishment of the Khilafah, which ensures the full implementation of the Shari‘ah.
