真主（SWT）赐予慷慨的穆斯林乌玛的诸多恩典之一，是将整个大地变得洁净，为她成为一座清真寺和一个宏大的米哈拉布，使真主在大地的每一个角落都受到崇拜：无论是在清真寺里、市场上、街道上，还是在学校和大学里、在家中、在边疆等地。因此，整个大地就是一座清真寺。这一点由布哈里和穆斯林所辑录的圣训所表明，据扎比尔·本·阿卜杜拉传述：安拉的使者ﷺ说：“我被赐予了五件前所未有的事，在我之前没有任何先知得到过：我借着敌人的恐惧，在一个月的路程之外便获得胜利；大地为我而成为洁净之地和清真寺，所以你们中任何人遇到拜功时间，无论身在何处都应当礼拜；战利品为我而合法，这在此前从未为任何人合法；我被赐予了沙法尔（代求）；每位先知都只被派遣到自己的族人中，而我则被派遣给全人类。”安拉的使者ﷺ被派遣给全人类，因为真主说：“我只派遣你为全人类的报喜者和警告者。”[TMQ 34:28]真主还使穆斯林乌玛负有责任，将伊斯兰作为一种生活方式传播到全世界，因为真主说：“这样，我使你们成为中正的乌玛，以便你们为众人作证，使者也为你们作证。”[TMQ 2:143]因此，这一乌玛最重要的职责之一，就是努力传播真主的宗教，正如真主所说：“???”[TMQ : ]这可以通过为世界提供领导来实现，以便将人类从黑暗中引出，引向光明，并将伊斯兰的旗帜，即认主独一（塔originally: tawheed）、正义与安全的旗帜，高高升起，置于一切之上。 真主的使者（愿主赐他平安）说："伊斯兰教至高无上，任何事物都不能凌驾于其之上。"既然大地本应是一座伟大的清真寺，正如前文所提及的圣训所述，那么乌玛就应当努力净化大地——这座伟大的清真寺，并将讯息传遍大地，以引导世人脱离对偶像和人的崇拜，转而崇拜并遵从宇宙的创造者——安拉（至高无上）。

One of the many graces which Allah (swt) has bestowed upon the generous Muslim Ummah is the making of the whole earth pure, a mosque and a grand mihrab for her where Allah (swt) is worshipped in every single corner of it, whether in the mosques, in the markets, in the streets, or at schools and universities, in the houses, at the frontiers and so on. Therefore, the whole earth is a mosque, and this is indicated by the hadith reported by Bukhari and Muslim on the authority of Jabir ibn ‘Abdullah that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said, “I have been granted upon five things which were not granted to any other prophet before me: I have gained victory with awe from the distance of one month; the earth has been made sacred and pure and mosque for me, so whenever the time of prayer comes for anyone of you, he should pray wherever he is; the spoils of war have been made lawful for me, and these were never made lawful to anyone before; I have been granted shafa‘a (intercession); and every prophet was sent particularly to his own people, whereas I have been sent to all mankind.” The Messenger of Allah (saw) had been sent to all mankind, for Allah (swt) says, “And we have not sent you but as a Messenger to all mankind.” [TMQ 34:28] And Allah (swt) had made it an obligation upon the Muslim Ummah to carry Islam as a way of life to the whole world, for Allah (swt) says, “Thus We have made you into a just Ummah so that you can be witness against other nations, and the Messenger a witness over yourselves.” [TMQ 2:143] Therefore, one of the most important duties of this Ummah would be to work towards spreading the deen of Allah (swt), for He (swt) says, “???” [TMQ : ] This can be achieved by providing leadership to the world, in order to bring mankind out of the darkness and guide it to the light, and to fly high the banner of Islam, i.e. the banner of the tawheed (oness of Allah), of justice and security, above everything else. The Messenger of Allah (saw) said, “Islam stands highest and nothing else can stand above it.” And since the earth is meant to be a grand mosque, as mentioned in the hadith earlier, the Ummah should work towards purifying the earth, this grand mosque, and to carry the Message all over it, in order to lead people out of the worshipping of idols and people to the worshipping and the following the Creator of the universe, Allah (swt).

由于伊斯兰对生活的看法是普遍而全面的,清真寺必然处于生活中一切积极和建设性活动的核心,以培育正直的一代又一代人。

Since Islam’s viewpoints in life are general and comprehensive, the mosques had to be at the heart of all life’s positive and constructive activities, in order to shape the righteous generations.

因此,伊斯兰国有责任、全体穆斯林也以之为可嘉之举,在世界各地兴建清真寺。这些清真寺将作为这座大清真寺的分支,成为推动传播伊斯兰讯息及将其付诸实施的跳板。正因如此,我们看到《古兰经》劝勉兴建清真寺,并将其视为信仰的标志。安拉(斯布哈内胡·泰阿拉)说:“只有信仰安拉和末日、谨守拜功、完纳天课的人,才配修建安拉的清真寺。”[TMQ 9:18] 真主的使者ﷺ也鼓励兴建清真寺,并使之极具吸引力,强调这是一项会获得丰厚回报的善行。据奥斯曼·本·阿凡传述,真主的使者ﷺ说:“谁为了安拉而兴建清真寺,寻求安拉的喜悦,安拉就会以天堂中的一座居所回报他。”兴建清真寺是伊斯兰扩张与征服的起点,这些征服席卷了世界大部分地区,因为清真寺在穆斯林乌玛的生活中发挥着至关重要的作用。这一点可以从真主的使者ﷺ的榜样中看出:他ﷺ在伊斯兰国于麦地那建立之后,便立即着手兴建清真寺。为了强调清真寺在塑造伊斯兰社会中的重大意义,他ﷺ亲自参与了建造工作。这座清真寺成为在国家与社会之中切实实施伊斯兰的出发点。

Therefore, it is the duty of the Islamic State, and a desirable act for all the Muslims to build mosques all over the world. These mosques would serve as branches for this grand mosque, acting as a springboard to launch the spreading of the Message and its implementation. This is why we find that the Qur’an exhorts the building of mosques, making it a sign of belief. Allah (swt) says, “The mosques of Allah shall be visited and maintained by such as believe in Allah and the Last Day, and establish regular prayers, and pay zakat.” [TMQ 9:18] The Messenger of Allah (saw) also encouraged the building of mosques and made it very appealing, stressing that it is a rewarding act. It has been reported on the authority of ‘Uthman ibn ‘Affan that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said, “He who builds a mosque for the sake of Allah, seeking the pleasure of Allah, Allah would reward him with a dwelling in Heaven.” The building of a mosque was the starting point to the expansion and the Islamic conquests which engulfed most of the world, as it plays a vital part in the life of the Muslim Ummah. This can be seen from the example of the Messenger of Allah (saw), who began to build a mosque as soon as he (saw) established the Islamic State in Madinah. To emphasise the great importance of the mosque in the shaping of the Islamic society, he (saw) took part in the building work personally. This mosque served as the launching point towards the practical implementation of Islam within both the State and society.

第一座清真寺非常简朴、简陋,它的柱子是棕榈树干,墙壁由黏土筑成,但这座简朴的清真寺是伊斯兰圣战的第一所学校,也是伊斯兰国的总部。它是穆圣ﷺ教导他的圣门弟子的学校,这些圣门弟子是天堂的居民,他们惩戒了暴君。在这座简朴的建筑里,他ﷺ用伊斯兰教培育穆斯林,他ﷺ净化了身体和灵魂,并界定了真理、法定义务(fard)、推荐之事(mandub)、许可之事(mubah)、厌恶之事(makruh)和禁止之事(haram)。

The first mosque was very modest and basic, its pillars were palm trees and its walls were made of clay, but this modest mosque was the first school of the Islamic campaign, and the headquarters of the Islamic State. It was the school where the Messenger of Allah (saw) instructed his Sahabah, the dwellers of Heaven, who disciplined the tyrants. In that modest building, he (saw) cultured the Muslims with Islam, he (saw) purified the bodies and the souls, and defined the Truth, the fard (obligations), the mandub (recommended), the mubah (permitted), the makruh (disliked) and the haram (forbidden).
