这一做法以提高农产品的产量和品种为基础，通常遵循两种方法：a) 寻找提高土地生产力的途径；b) 通过扩大耕地面积来实现扩张。
This is based on increasing the yield and variety of farm produce, and usually follows two methods : a) finding means of increasing productivity of the land, and b) increasing the farming lands as a method of expansion.
这些工作借助现代化的精密机械、化学品以及优质种子来完成。国家应当向那些无力购买所需机械、种子和化学品的农民提供补助金（而非贷款），并应鼓励有能力的农民购买这些物资。
These take place by using modern and sophisticated machinery, chemicals and by providing high quality seed. The State should provide grants (as opposed to loans) to the farmers who are unable to buy what they need in terms of machines, seed and chemicals, and it should also encourage those who are able, to buy such materials.
扩张通过鼓励开垦荒地并耕种来实现。国家应当把使用不当或闲置的封建土地,以及其控制下的土地,分配给有劳动能力但没有土地或土地很少的农民。凡连续三年荒废自己土地的人,应被迫将土地交给国家,由国家分配给能够加以利用的人。
伊玛目艾布·优素福(Abu Yusuf)记载:“穆罕默德·本·伊斯哈格(Muhammad ibn Ishaque)告诉我,欧麦尔·本·哈塔卜(‘Umar ibn al-Khattab)在讲坛上向人们讲话时说:‘谁获得了一块死地,它就属于他;而谁建造了围墙,三年之后他便不再拥有对它的权利。这是因为人们过去常常圈占自己并不耕种的土地。’”(《土地税之书》(Kitab al-Kharaj))。
The expansion takes place by encouraging the revival of barren land and cultivating it. The State should grant feudal lands which are improperly used or left unused, to farmers who are able to work but have no land or little land, and from lands that are under its control. Anyone neglecting his land for three consecutive years would be forced to give it up to the State, which would allocate it to people who would make use of it. Imam Abu Yusuf narrated that : “Muhammad ibn Ishaque related to me that ‘Umar ibn al-Khattab said addressing the people on the pulpit : ‘Whoever receives a dead land, (it) would belong to him and whoever constructs a boundary wall, has no right over it after three years. This was because the people used to enclose land which they did not cultivate.’” (Kitab al-Kharaj).
通过遵循这两种方法，农产品产量将会增加，农业政策的目标也将得以实现。
By following these two methods, an increase in farm produce would be achieved, and the aim of the agricultural policy would be realised.
然而,在实施此类政策时,仍有一些问题需要考虑。在确保生产力提高之后,还必须考虑提升农产品的质量。提高生产力的政策须通过机械设备的现代化来实现;这就需要发起一场工业革命,以配合雄心勃勃的农业计划,而工业则成为推动进步的主要手段。
There are, however, issues to be considered while implementing such a policy. Once increased productivity is ensured, improving the quality of the produce has also to be considered. The policy of improving productivity has to be achieved by modernising the machinery; this necessitates the launching of an industrial revolution to match the ambitious agricultural programme, with industry providing the main means of progress.
因此，农业政策在提高生产力方面应有三个主要目标：
Therefore, the agricultural policy should have three main aims in its bid to improve productivity:
改进食品，旨在满足民众的需求，并在干旱、作物歉收或经济禁运的情况下消除饥荒的阴影。应当努力提高农产品和畜产品的产量与生产效率。
Improving food products, with the aim of satisfying the needs of the people, and to remove the spectre of famine in case of drought, failing crops or economic embargo. Efforts should be made to improve and increase productivity of food products in both agricultural and animal produce.
提高棉花、羊毛和丝绸等服装原料的产量，因为这些都是基本生活必需品，应当在不依赖进口的情况下保证供应，并且在遭遇经济封锁时不致出现短缺。
Increasing productivity in clothing materials such as cotton, wool and silk, for these are basic necessities that should be made available without having to resort to imports and without creating a shortage in case of economic embargo.
提高那些在国外有市场的商品的生产水平，无论是纺织品还是食品，例如柑橘类水果、椰枣等。
Improving the production of goods which would have a market abroad, whether they were textiles or food products, like citrus fruits, dates etc.
发展项目，如修建水坝、运河、水井等，若属必不可少，应予优先。其目的不仅在于推动一场农业革命，更在于推动一场工业革命；同时不忽视农业，始终致力于提高产量。其目标还在于实现物质进步，而这一点若没有工业革命便无从实现。
Development projects like the building of dams, canals, wells and others are to be given priority if they were indispensable, for the aim is not only to launch an agricultural revolution, but an industrial one, without neglecting the agricultural but always working towards increasing production; the aim also is to achieve material progress, and this cannot be realised without an industrial revolution.
穆斯林世界经济落后，其经济仅依赖农业和其他自然资源，几乎没有工业。因此，必须做出巨大努力，推动工业革命的开展。殖民列强的图谋应当被抛弃，因为它们旨在通过鼓励这种政策并阻碍其工业进步，使伊斯兰世界仅仅依赖农业，从而保持其对西方的依附。西方提供了大部分机器，也是唯一的维修来源。
The Muslim world is underdeveloped with an economy based solely upon agriculture and other natural resources, and there are scarcely any industries. Therefore, an immense effort is needed to put the industrial revolution into motion. The schemes of the colonial powers should be abandoned, for they aim at keeping the Islamic world relying solely on agriculture by encouraging such a policy and impeding its industrial progress to keep it dependent on the West, who provide most of the machinery and are the only source of maintenance.
值得在此提及伊斯兰教的一项基本经济原则，它指出：“凡对乌玛有益的事务，若有资金，就应当为其提供资金，前提是它并非不可或缺。”这意味着，如果国家有可用资金，就应为该项目拨款；但如果国家没有资金，则不应为此向民众征税，也不应为此借款，即使是向本国公民借款。
It is worth mentioning here a basic economic principle in Islam that says, “Anything that reaps benefit to the Ummah should be provided for if funds were available, provided that it is not indispensable.” This means that if the State had funds available, then the project should be funded, but if the State did not have funds, it should not impose taxes upon the people in order to finance the project, nor borrow money for it, even from its own citizens.
