有些信仰体系本质上是精神性的。也就是说，它们只涉及对宇宙造物主或安排者的认知，只处理个人与该造物主之间的关系。佛教就是一个例子，它强调的是精神修养，而不是社会和生活事务的组织。因此，佛教可以被称为精神性的‘aqeedah（信仰）。另一些信条则完全是政治性的。例如，在共产主义中，造物主的存在被否认，因此其信仰并不涉及个人与造物主的关系问题。然而，共产主义关注人类的事务，并就人们应如何组织自己的生活制定规则，尤其是在经济方面。因此，共产主义是一种政治性的‘aqeedah（信仰）。

Some belief systems are by their nature spiritual. By this, it is meant that they relate only to the cogniscance of a creator or organiser of the universe, and they address only the relationship of individuals to that creator. An example of this is Buddhism, where emphasis is laid upon spiritualty, rather than organisation of society and lifes affairs. Thus, Buddhism can be called a spiritual ‘aqeedah. Other creeds are entirely political. For example, in Communism, the existence of a creator is denied, and its belief therefore does not raise the issue of the relationship of the individual with a creator. However, Communism addresses the affairs of human beings, and it lays down rules regarding how they should organise their lives, particularly in reference to the economic aspect. Thus, Communism is a political ‘aqeedah.

然而,伊斯兰的“阿qīdah”(信条)则有所不同。它要求我们信仰安拉(SWT),并效法穆罕默德ﷺ的榜样,他是被派遣给全人类的最后一位、也是最终的使者ﷺ。此外,从沙里亚的渊源——《古兰经》和《圣训》中,产生了人类组织个人生活与社会生活所需要的一切律法与规则。由此,伊斯兰信条不同于其他信仰,因为它既是一种精神信条,也是一种政治信条。

The Islamic ‘aqeedah, however, is different. It obliges us to believe in Allah (swt) and to follow the example of Muhammad (saw), the last and final Messenger sent to mankind. Also, from the sources of Shari‘ah, the Qur’an and the Sunnah, emanate all the laws and rules that humanity needs to organise individual and societal life. In this way, the Islamic creed is unique from other beliefs in that it is a spiritual and political ‘aqeedah.

伊斯兰的律法与生活制度适用于一切时代、一切地方。它们不应被视为抽象的、纯理论的条文，而是必须在社会中、在人类之间付诸实施。安拉(SWT)说：

The laws and systems of life of Islam are applicable for all times and places. They are not to be viewed as abstract, theoretical rules. Rather, they have to be implemented in society over mankind. Allah (swt) says,.

“他就是派遣使者携带正道和真理之教的主，使它凌驾于一切宗教之上，哪怕多神教徒厌恶它。”{《古兰经》9:33}

“It is He who has sent the Messenger with the guidance and the deen of truth, so that it may prevail over all other deens, even if the idolaters detest it.” [TMQ 9:33].

真主(SWT)命令我们只依伊斯兰来统治和裁决。伊斯兰教法确实是全面的,涵盖生活的方方面面。穆斯林没有任何途径可以借助异教徒的法律来寻求解决方案。此外,1924年伊斯兰国的覆灭,正是由异教徒的手所造成的。1947年,英国政府将克什米尔的一部分交给了印度的印度教徒,这也是英国政府的责任。我们不应忘记“勋爵”蒙巴顿在印度允许异教徒统治穆斯林的阴谋交易。我们也不应忘记,正是英国政府在20世纪20至30年代允许犹太人进入巴勒斯坦,导致穆斯林流血,并造成了犹太复国主义国家以色列的建立。穆斯林无法参与或借助议会、联合国或欧洲共同体等异教制度的机构,也无法通过它们解决问题。真主(SWT)说:

Allah (swt) has ordered us to rule and judge by nothing but Islam. Indeed the Shari‘ah is comprehensive, dealing with every aspect of life. There is no way for Muslims to refer to the laws of the kuffar for solutions. As well, it is the kuffar by the guidance of whose hands the Islamic State was destroyed in 1924. It is the British government who is responsible for giving part of Kashmir to the Indian Hindus in 1947. We should not fail to remember the conniving deal of ‘Lord’ Mountbatten in allowing the kuffar domination over Muslims in India. And we should not forget that it was the British government that allowed the Jews into Palestine in the 1920s and 30s, resulting in Muslim bloodshed and the creation of the Zionist state of Israel. There is no way for Muslims to be part of, or refer to the institutions of kufr like parliament, United Nations or European Community. Allah (swt) says,.

“凡不按真主所降示的律法判决者，他们便是不信道者。”[《古兰经》5:44]

“Whosoever judges by other than what Allah has revealed, such are the disbelievers.” [TMQ 5:44].

“任何信道的男人或女人，当真主和祂的使者已经对某件事做出决定时，都不应再对自己的选择有所保留。谁违抗真主和祂的使者，谁就确已陷入明显的迷误。” [TMQ 33:36]

“It is not fitting for a believer, man or woman, that when a matter has been decided by Allah and His Messenger to have any opinion about the decision. If anyone disobeys Allah and His Messenger, he is indeed on a clearly wrong path.” [TMQ 33:36].

“永远不会让真主使不信道者对信道者有支配之权。”[TMQ 4:141]

“Never will Allah allow for the disbelievers to have authority over the believers.” [TMQ 4:141].

“那么，你们是只信奉经典的一部分，而拒绝另一部分吗？凡这样做的人，今世必遭凌辱，复活日必受严厉的惩罚，这就是他们的报应。”[TMQ 2:85]

“Then is it only part of the Book that you believe in and do you reject the rest? But what is the reward for those among you who behave like this, but disgrace in this life, and a grievous punishment in the Hereafter” [TMQ 2:85].

世界再一次需要伊斯兰的生活体系——经济、社会、统治、司法和教育体系——通过建立哈里发制度而重新回归。资本主义、社会主义、民主制和民族主义这些kufr信仰已经失败。哈里发制度从穆罕默德ﷺ去世之时一直实行，直到1924年3月3日。

The world once again needs the Islamic systems of life, economic, social, ruling, judicial and education to return again via the establishment of the Khilafah. Kufr beliefs of Capitalism, Socialism, Democracy and Nationalism have failed. The Khilafah system was implemented from the time of the death of Muhammad (saw) until the 3rd of March 1924.

这是伊斯兰统治的延续，正是先知（愿主赐福他并使他平安）向我们所展示的；它是唯一能够依据真主（SWT）的法律、命令与禁令，切实解决人类问题——无论穆斯林还是非穆斯林——的生活体系。哈里发制度辉煌的时代，伊斯兰传播到了许多土地和民族之中。在哈里发制度之下，科学与技术取得了进步，远远领先于欧洲的黑暗时代。种族主义、部落主义、经济剥削和腐败等困扰西方世界以及那些不合法的穆斯林国家的问题，都被消除了。穆斯林与非穆斯林作为国家的公民生活在一起，拥有明确、界定且不可剥夺的权利与义务。然而，哈里发制度的甘美果实，如今只是过去的辉煌遗迹。唯有重建这样一个实体——这是一条天命——穆斯林乌玛，进而整个人类，才能从其当下所陷入的黑暗深渊中提升自身。提尔米兹圣训集记载了先知穆罕默德（ﷺ）的以下圣训，

It was a continuation of the rule by Islam which was showed to us by the Prophet (saw) and it was the only system of life that effectively solved human problems, Muslim and non-Muslim, by the laws, commandments and prohibitions of Allah (swt). The glorious era of the Khilafah ruling system saw Islam spread to many lands and peoples. Advances in science and technology, light years ahead of the Dark Ages of Europe were achieved under the Khilafah. Issues like racism, tribalism, economic exploitation and corruption, which haunt the Western world and the illegitimate Muslim countries were eradicated. Muslim and non-Muslim lived under the State as citizens with definite, defined and inalienable rights and duties. However, the sweet fruits of the Khilafah are but glorious remnants of the past. Only by the reestablishment of such an entity, which is a divine commandment, will the Muslim Ummah and then the whole of humanity elevate themselves from the depths of the dark abyss it now finds itself in. Al-Tirmidhi narrates the following saying of Prophet Muhammad (saw),.

“先知的职分将在你们中间，只要真主意欲，然后若真主意欲，祂将使其终止。然后，依照先知之道的哈里发制度将会兴起，只要真主意欲，然后若真主意欲，祂将使其终止。接着将有一个支持性的统治，只要真主意欲，然后若真主意欲，祂将使其终止。接着将有一个强制性的统治，只要真主意欲，然后若真主意欲，祂将使其终止。然后，依照先知之道的正道哈里发制度将会兴起。”然后他保持了沉默。

“The Prophethood will be among you as long as Allah wills, then He will eliminate it if He so wills. Then a Khilafah on the model of Prophethood will prevail so long as Allah wills, Then He will eliminate it if He so wills. Then there will be a supportive rule as long as Allah wills, then He will eliminate it if He so wills. Then there will be an assertive rule as long as Allah wills, then He will eliminate it if He so wills. Then a Rightly Guided Khilafah on the way of Prophethood will prevail,” and He kept silent.

在接下来的章节中,如果真主意愿,我们将阐述这一伊斯兰制度中一些早已被遗忘的细节。了解这些事情至关重要,因为只有当穆斯林乌玛意识到这一宗教的美好,以及她有义务努力全面实行它时,她才有希望再次恢复它。

In the following section we will outline, inshallah some of the long forgotten details of this system of Islam. Knowledge of these things is of vital importance, as it is only when the Muslim Ummah become aware of the beauty of this deen and their obligation to strive towards implementing it in its entirety, that she can ever hope to resume it once more.
