在伊斯兰统治的一千三百年间，人们曾多次尝试削弱伊斯兰国的力量与威势。

Many attempts have been made in the 1300 years of the Islamic rule to quell the might and the power of the Islamic State.

在使者穆罕默德ﷺ的时代，以物配主的古莱什人曾试图以武力击败穆斯林。这从许多战役中可以看出，例如公元624年的白德尔之役、公元625年的吾侯德之役，以及公元627年的壕沟之役。犹太部落中有许多人常与古莱什人结盟，他们也多次企图破坏穆斯林的团结，但他们的企图同样徒劳无功。

During the time of the Messenger of Allah (saw), the mushrik (polythiest) Quraysh tried to militarily defeat the Muslims. This is evident from the many battles that took place such as the battle of Badr in 624, the battle of Uhud in 625 and the battle of Ahzab in 627. Various Jewish tribes who often allied with the Quraysh, made a number of attempts to destroy the unity of the Muslims, but their attempts were also futile.

曾经强大的波斯帝国和罗马帝国也在先知（ﷺ）和圣门弟子的时代挑战过伊斯兰教。例如，629年的穆塔之战、634年的阿季纳达英之战、636年的雅穆克之战以及637年的卡迪西亚之战。波斯人和罗马人非但没能击败伊斯兰国家，自身反而被打败，并成为了伊斯兰国家的一部分。哈立德·本·瓦利德于633年领导征服了叙利亚南部和伊拉克地区，大马士革和叙利亚北部于635年陷落，随后埃及和波斯分别于639年和640年被攻占。征服活动仍在继续：647年占领了利比亚地区，649年穆阿维叶指挥海战攻占了塞浦路斯。最终，西北非的征服于670年完成，西班牙和信德分别于711年和712年被攻占。

The once mighty Persian and the Roman Empires also challenged Islam during the time of the Prophet (saw) and the Sahabah. Examples of these were the Battle of Mu’tah in 629, Ajnadayn in 634, Yarmuk in 636 and Qadisiyyah in 637. Instead of defeating the Islamic State, the Persians and the Romans themselves were defeated and they became part of the Islamic State. Khalid bin Walid led the conquest of the regions of southern Syria and Iraq in 633, Damascus and northern Syria fell in 635, followed by Egypt and Persia in 639 and 640 respectively. The conquests continued, the regions of Libya were taken in 647, and Cyprus was taken in 649 by sea-warfare under the command of Mu’awiyah. Finally, the conquest of north-west Africa was completed in 670 and Spain and Sind were taken in 711 and 712 respectively.

从11世纪开始,基督教国家从欧洲发动了一系列十字军东征。这些远征战争旨在征服伊斯兰国,是应教宗乌尔班二世在1095年克莱蒙会议上的号召而发动的。十字军于1099年攻占了耶路撒冷,并建立了一个基督教王国,由布洛涅的戈德弗鲁瓦担任君主,但该城在1187年的哈廷战役中被穆斯林军队重新夺回,当时的指挥官是萨拉丁·阿尤布,十字军最终在此役中战败。

The Christian states launched a series of crusades from Europe starting in the 11th Century. These expeditionary wars to conquer of the Islamic State followed the call of Pope Urban II at the Council of Clarmont in 1095. Although the Crusaders captured Jerusalem in 1099, and created a Christian kingdom with Godfrey of Boulogne as Prince, it was retaken by the Muslims under the command of Salah ud-Din Ayubi in 1187 in the battle of Hitten, when the Crusaders were finally defeated.

蒙古人于1218年开始对伊斯兰国发动征伐，最终于1258年洗劫了巴格达。他们同样未能得逞，不过在此过程中杀害了数十万穆斯林。然而，这些入侵者在很短的时间内便皈依了伊斯兰教，成为伊斯兰国的一部分，并将伊斯兰教带回了东方。这次交锋并未从根本上改变伊斯兰国的立场。

The Mongols started their campaign against the Islamic State in 1218, eventually ransacking Baghdad in 1258, but they too failed, although they killed hundreds of thousands of Muslims in the process. However, within a very short period these invaders accepted Islam and became part of the Islamic State, and took Islam back to the East. This encounter did not drastically effect stance of the Islamic State.

俄罗斯人也曾来过又离去，而伊斯兰国却巍然屹立于真理（Haq）的支柱之上。异教徒的力量从未撼动过伊斯兰国。

The Russians also came and went but the Islamic State stood majestically on the pillars of Haq (truth). The might of the Kuffar never dented the Islamic State.

工业化的欧洲曾尝试过多种形式的军事行动，但它同样未能实现以武力征服伊斯兰国家的目标，尽管欧洲主要强国确实侵占了穆斯林土地的一些地区，例如印度和埃及。然而，国家的主体部分仍未受到触动。

Industrialised Europe tried various forms of military campaigns, but it too failed to achieve its objective of conquering the Islamic State by force, although the major European powers did manage to invade some parts of the Muslim land such as India and Egypt. However, the main body of the State was still left untouched.

因此，从历史中可以清楚地看出，尽管库fr（Kuffar）作出了种种企图，穆斯林在军事上始终未能被击败。这是因为穆斯林总是基于伊斯兰的原则而战。他们非常清楚“阿贾勒”与“里兹格”的含义，即生命、死亡和给养都掌握在安拉（SWT）手中，因此他们从不畏惧死亡。哈立德·本·walid曾被授予“安拉之剑”（Saif-Allah）的称号，他在一场战役中对对手说：“跟随我的这些人爱死亡，就像你们爱生命一样。”这句话便足以使敌人心生恐惧。此外，穆斯林圣战者在战场上所展现的勇气，是非穆斯林无法企及的。有一则传闻说，在壕沟之战中，一位穆斯林失去了一条腿。

It is therefore evident from history, that despite these attempts by the Kuffar, the Muslims could not be militarily defeated. This was due to the fact that the Muslims always fought on the basis of Islam. They understood very well the concepts of ajal and rizq - that is - that life, death and provisions are in the hands of Allah (swt), so they never feared for their lives. Once Khalid bin Walid, who was given the title Saif-Allah (the sword of Allah), said to his opponent in one battle, “These people with me love death the way you love life.” This was enough to terrify the enemy. Also, the courage shown by the mujahideen on the battlefields could never be matched by the non- Muslims. There is a narration that in the Battle of Khandak, one Muslim lost his leg.

看到他手中没有剑，这位圣战者便拾起自己的一条腿，用它击杀了一名异教徒，那名异教徒也因此丧命。这些态度，以及这些例子中所展现的非凡勇气、勇敢、英勇与坚定，确实使伊斯兰军队在敌人眼中变得不可战胜。

Seeing that he did not have a sword in his hand, this mujahid picked up his leg and struck a kafir with it, killing the kafir in the process. Attitudes and immense courage, bravery, valor and determination as displayed in these example, truly made the Islamic forces invincible in the enemies’ eyes.
