先知（ﷺ）不仅号召人们信奉伊斯兰教，抨击他所处环境中的腐败制度与信仰，还积极致力于建立国家，前往那些掌握统治权的人、身居权位或能够将权力交予他的人那里寻求支持，这被称为“努斯剌”（支持）。这一问题对今天的伊斯兰运动而言至关重要。在先知（ﷺ）以公开宣教为社会做准备的同时，麦地那的有影响力的人物自然而然地促成了那里伊斯兰国家的诞生，而无需发动政变——在另一些情况下，政变也许是必要的。许多人没有认识到，希吉拉之后所取得的胜利，是在漫长斗争之后才到来的，如果我们也想品尝同样的胜利，这样的斗争同样是必不可少的。安拉（SWT）说：

The Prophet (saw) did not only call to Islam and attack the corrupt systems and beliefs around him, but he also actively worked to establish the State by approaching those with the authority to rule, those who were in positions of authority or could hand him authority - this is known as nussrah (support) and is a critical issue for the Islamic movement today. While the Prophet (saw) was preparing society with his open call, the actual influential people in Madinah facilitated the birth of the Islamic State there naturally, without the need for a coup d’état, which may have been needed in different circumstances. Many fail to recognise that the triumph which resulted after the Hijrah came at the end of a long struggle, one that will be necessary if we are to taste the same victory. Allah (swt) says,.

"难道人们以为，只要说一句'我们信了'，就可以不经考验而任其自然吗？我确已考验过在他们以前的人。真主必定会知道谁是诚实的人，也必定会知道谁是说谎的人。"（TMQ 29:2-3）

“Do they think they will be left to say: We believe without being tested? Surely We had tested those who came before them. Surely Allah will know who are faithful and who make a lie.” [TMQ 29:2-3].

当伊斯兰的信息传播到越来越广泛的人群中时,先知(愿主赐福并使其平安)所需要的那片土地(dar),即用以建立这一制度、并借由dawah(召唤)和圣战将其传给全人类的根据地,却迟迟未能得到。先知ﷺ花了大量时间直接去见阿拉伯半岛各部落的首领和当权者,直接请求他们支持以伊斯兰来治理。伊斯兰绝不能被局限为一套信仰体系和几项个人的宗教仪式;信奉它的人必须以它来治理。安拉(SWT)说:“凡不依照安拉所降示的来判决的人,他们便是不信道者。”[TMQ 5:44]

Whilst the message of Islam was reaching wider and wider audiences the actual land (dar) which the Prophet (saw) needed to launch the system and from which he could carry it to mankind through invitation and jihad eluded him. He (saw) spent time approaching directly the heads of tribes and those in power around the Arab peninsula, asking directly for the support to rule by Islam. Islam could never be limited to a belief system and a few individual religious rituals; those that believed in it had to rule by it. Allah (swt) says,. “If anyone rules by other than what Allah has revealed, they are disbelievers.” [TMQ 5:44].

许多部落都曾被先知穆罕默德ﷺ接触，他常有艾布·伯克尔（愿真主喜悦他）相伴，艾布·伯克尔精通各个部落及其谱系。一个例子就足以证明这一点。人们接触了白尼·阿米尔·伊本·沙阿沙阿部落，经过多次讨论，内容涉及伊斯兰教到他们的军事实力，最终认定该部落足够强大，可以成为新国家的起点，他们也准备支持先知穆罕默德ﷺ。然而，他们提出了一个条件，询问在先知穆罕默德ﷺ之后，他们是否能拥有权威（即由本部落掌权）。先知穆罕默德ﷺ没有接受他们的支持，并回答说：“真主将权威赋予祂所意欲的人。”即使在他和同伴们面临巨大困难的时候，他也不能在宗教上做出任何妥协。

Many tribes were approached by the Prophet (saw) who was often accompanied by Abu Bakr (ra) who was an expert on the various tribes and their genealogies. One example suffices to prove this point. The bani (tribe) Amir ibn Sa‘ssah were approached and after many discussions ranging over Islam to their military strength it was determined that this tribe was sufficiently strong to be a launching point for the new state, and they were prepared to support the Prophet (saw), however they put one condition in querying whether they would have the authority (rule from their tribe) after the Prophet (saw). The Prophet (saw) did not accept support from them and responded that “Allah gives the authority where He wills” and could not accept any compromise in the deen even at a time when he and his companions were facing great hardship.

当来自雅斯里卜(麦地那)的奥斯和赫兹拉杰两个部族给予明确支持时,先知(saw)清楚地表明了为伊斯兰获取权力和权威的重要性。在第二次阿卡巴宣誓时,夜已深,他ﷺ要求他们选出十二位纳吉布(领袖)上前,因为正是他们将以对他ﷺ及其使命的坚定信念,保证将权力交给他ﷺ。

When the unequivocal support did come from the tribes of Aws and Khazraj from Yathrib (Madinah) the Prophet (saw) showed clearly the importance of getting the power and authority for Islam. At the second pledge of ‘Aqabah, late into the night he (saw) asked for twelve naqeeb (leaders) from them to come forward as it was they that were going to ensure the handing of power to him with full conviction in him and his message.

当先知(愿主赐他平安)完成迁徙到麦地那,并获得完整的权柄之后,次日清晨,先前各部落首领的力量便纷纷出现,以保卫他们的新领袖和新的伊斯兰国家。甚至后来被认定为麦地那伪信者首领的阿卜杜拉·本·乌班耶·本·赛鲁勒,也承认权力的取得是经过妥善筹备的,他嫉妒地说:“这是夜里策划好的。”

When the Prophet (saw) did complete the Hijrah to Madinah, and was given the full authority, the forces of the previous tribal leaders were seen out in force the very next morning to defend their new leader and the new Islamic State. Even ‘Abdullah ibn Ubay ibn Salool later labelled as the head of the hypocrites of Madinah recognised that power had been taken through proper preparations when he jealously said, “This has been planned in the night.”.

先知（愿主福安之）证明了：没有权威就不可能有国家，而没有从能够提供权力的人那里建立起支持，也不可能有权威。若能在今天的世界中设想，乌玛会大规模走上街头，要求实施伊斯兰教，而腐败的政权会放下权力、交出政权，那将是美好的。但在缺少这种自然发生的变革的情况下，国家很可能需要那些有影响力者（如军队）中真诚的追随者提供协助。

The Prophet (saw) proved that there could be no state without authority and there could be no authority without building the support from those that could deliver power. It would be nice to think that in today’s world the Ummah would come out on mass in the streets demanding the implementation of Islam and that the corrupt regimes will lay down and pass the power on, but in the absence of such a natural birth it is likely that the State will need the assistance of a sincere following from those of influence like the army.
