《الأمانة》与《الإيمان》
Al-Amaanah and Al-Imaan
安拉(SWT)创造人类,是为了让他们崇拜祂。
Allah (swt) created the people so that they worship him:
我没有创造精灵和人类,只是为了让他们崇拜我(《风暴》56)。
And I have not created the Jinn and the humans except to worship me (AdhDhaariyaat 56).
这正是立法者(Ash-Shaari')从造化之初所意图的,因此,负有责任的人(Mukallaf)必须以此为生活的目标,并以此作为他在世间的宗旨,这是其应尽的义务。对安拉(SWT)的崇拜,并不局限于负有责任的人在他与其主之间私下或特定关系中的功修行为,也不局限于某些行为而舍弃其他行为。相反,它涵盖了安拉(SWT)所……的一切。
This was what the Shaari’ (Legislator) intended from the creation and as such this is obligatory to be the objective of the Mukallaf (responsible person) within life and it must be his purpose in it. The worship to Allah (swt) is not restricted to the Mukallaf’s acts of ‘Ibaadah in that which relates to the private or specific relationship between him and his Rabb, and it is not restricted to some actions whilst leaving others. Rather it relates to everything that Allah (swt)
……它所命令他做的或禁止他做的。因此,它涉及人的一切行为,无论是个人行为还是集体行为,也涉及其一切关系。为此,每一位有理智('Aaqil)且已成年(Baaligh)的人,都有义务不接受除真主(swt)的裁决(Hukm)之外的任何裁决。
has commanded him with or forbidden him from doing. As such it relates to every one of man’s actions as individuals and collective groupings and in all of their relationships. For this reason it is obligatory upon every ‘Aaqil (reasoning) and Baaligh (mature) person to not accept any Hukm (rule) other than the Hukm of Allah (swt).
因此,他不以非真主所降示的律法来裁决或统治,也不受非真主(swt)所降示的律法支配或管理。他不寻求非真主 TaAalaa 所降示之物的裁决。他有义务努力实现这一事项,因为这正是他被创造的目的,是他人生的使命,也是他在审判日将被问责的根据。这适用于每一个问题(Mas'alah),无论大小,无论它关乎政治与统治的议题、一般事务,还是具体而局部的问题。真主(swt)使信仰(Imaan)建立在对这一义务的信奉与履行之上。
So he does not judge or rule by other than what Allah has revealed and is not ruled or governed by other than what He (swt) has revealed. He does not seek judgement from other than what Allah TaAalaa has revealed and it is obligatory upon him to work to realise this matter, as this represents the purpose for which he was created, it is his purpose in life and it is upon this basis that he will be held accountable on the Day of Judgment. This relates to every Mas’alah (issue), large or small, whether it relates to the issues of politics and ruling, the general matters or the specific and partial issues. Allah (swt) has made Imaan rest upon having Imaan in this obligation and undertaking it.
安拉(SWT)说:
Allah (swt) said:
但不然!指你的主起誓,他们在彼此的纷争中,若不请你(穆罕默德ﷺ)裁决,并且对你的裁决心中不存丝毫抗拒,全然顺服地接受,他们就不能算是有信仰的。(《妇女章》65)
But no, by your Lord, they can have no Faith, until they make you (O Muhammad SAW) judge in all disputes between them, and find in themselves no resistance against your decisions, and accept (them) with full submission (AnNisaa’ 65).
而安拉(SWT)将那些想要向非安拉所降示之法求判的人所宣称的信仰,视为一种假象,它与真实的实质相违背。
And He (swt) made the Imaan of those who wish to go to judgement to other than what Allah (swt) has revealed only a pretence which stands against the true reality:
安拉(SWT)说:
Allah (swt) said:
你难道没有看见那些自称信仰降示给你的和降示在你以前的经典的人吗?他们却想要把争端交给塔籢特(伪神或伪裁判)裁决,而他们已奉命拒绝它。但沙弥坦(撒旦)想要把他们引入深远的迷误。(《妇女章》60)
Have you seen those (hypocrites) who claim that they believe in that which has been sent down to you, and that which was sent down before you, and they wish to go for judgement (in their disputes) to the Taghut (false judges, etc.) while they have been ordered to reject them. But Shaitan (Satan) wishes to lead them far astray (An-Nisaa’ 60).
这种"taklīf"(法律责任/宗教义务)是安拉(SWT)所呈现并提供给人类的"amānah"(托付),于是人类接受了承担它,却未意识到自己的软弱与无能;而安拉创造物中的其他一切,都不能接受承担这一重担与责任,并拒绝承担。
This Takleef (legal responsibility) is the Amaanah (trust) that Allah (swt) presented and offered to mankind and so he accepted to carry it without realising his own weakness and incapability, whilst other than him from Allah’s creation were unable to accept to carry the burden and responsibility and refused to undertake it.
安拉(SWT)说:
Allah (swt) said:
我们确已将“安纳,马纳”(信托)托付给诸天、大地和山岳,它们都推辞不肯承担,并且畏惧它;而人却承担了它。他实在是不义的(对自己),也是无知的(不知其后果)。(《同盟军》72)
Truly, We did offer Al-Amaanah (the trust) to the heavens and the earth, and the mountains, but they declined to bear it and were afraid of it but man undertook to bear it. Verily, he was unjust (to himself) and ignorant (of its results) (Al-Ahzaab 72).
这种软弱在真主创造的第一个人阿丹(阿莱赫i塞俩목)身上就已显现:真主让他和他的妻子住在乐园里,允许他们享用其中的一切,唯独禁止他们靠近一棵树。然而他们听从了沙依坦的耳语,吃了那棵树的果实,结果被逐出了乐园。人类的常态便是如此:违抗、迷误,并疏忽对托付的责任。然而真主(SWT)援助他、扶助他,引导他,降下指引和慈悯(Rahmah)的讯息,使他依此得到指引,料理自己的事务,从而只崇拜真主。真主(SWT)又派遣先知(Anbiyaa')和使者(Rusul)到人类中间,他们完整地承担了托付,并给予它应有的权利。他们命人行善,禁人作恶,并在这条道路上忍受真主所意欲他们忍受的一切。他们引导people走上正路(Siraat ulMustaqeem),使他们脱离迷误与傲慢,回归对真主的信仰和顺从。
This weakness was made apparent with the very first human that Allah (swt) created, Aadam (as), when Allah (swt) placed him and his wife to live in Jannah. He (swt) allowed them to eat from it and enjoy it’s expanses with the exception of one single tree that he had forbidden them to approach. However they followed that which Shaytaan whispered to them, they ate from it and as a result they were expelled from Jannah. This is the continuous state of the human being, disobedience and misguidance and being negligent with the Amaanah. However Allah (swt) aided and assisted him, he guided him, sending him messages of guidance and Rahmah (mercy) which he would be guided with, by which he would take care of and straighten his affairs so that he would then worship Allah alone. He (swt) sent Anbiyaa’ (prophets) and Rusul (Messengers) to man who carried the Amaanah (trust) in full and gave it its true right. They ordered the Ma’rouf (what was good) and forbade the Munkar (what was bad) whilst enduring upon that path all that Allah (swt) willed them to endure. They carried the people upon the Siraat ulMustaqeem (straight path) whilst returning them from their misguidance and arrogance to Imaan in Allah and His obedience.
这一问题在《古兰经》中提及的先知们的故事里已经说得十分清楚:从阿丹(ean)到穆罕默德ﷺ——众先知的封印,他带着永恒而受保护的伊斯兰讯息被派遣。其中明确而肯定地说明,造物的问题始终是最为根本的问题。它是安拉(SWT)创造万物的目的;它代表着真实而绝对的问题:“除安拉外没有应受崇拜的主”,即只崇拜安拉独一,不崇拜祂以外的任何事物。而所有这些,自穆罕默德ﷺ被派遣直至今日,若不与作证“穆罕默德是安拉的使者”这一事实的真理与实质相联系,便无法按其真实面貌被理解,也无法成为现实。
This matter has been made crystal clear in the stories of the Anbiyaa’ that have been mentioned in the Qur’aan Al-Kareem from the time of Aadam (as) until Muhammad (saw), the seal of the Prophets, was sent with the everlasting and protected message of Islaam. In this it was made abundantly clear in a definite manner, that the issue of the creation always represents the most vital issue. It is the purpose for which Allah (swt) created the creation; it represents the true and absolute issue: Laa Ilaaha Illallah, to worship Allah alone and to not worship other than Him. And all of this cannot be understood upon its true reality since the sending of the Nabi Muhammad (saw) and until now, or become a true reality, unless it is connected to the truth and true reality of bearing witness to the fact that ‘Muhammad Ar Rasoolallah’ (The Messenger of Allah).
安拉(SWT)在谈到阿丹(AS)和他的妻子时说:
Allah (swt) said in respect to Aadam (as) and his wife:
(真主)说:"你们二者都从天堂下去吧,你们将互为仇敌。如果我的引导降临你们,凡遵循我的引导的人,必不迷误,也不会困苦。""但凡背弃我的教诲的人(即既不信奉这部《古兰经》,也不遵循其中的命令等),他必过窘迫的生活,我在复活日使他盲目地复活。"他会说:"我的主啊!你为什么使我盲目地复活,而我先前是明眼的?"(真主)会说:"正像这样,我的迹象(即凭证、经文、教训、征兆、启示等)已降临你,你却忽视了它们,今天你也同样被忘却(在火狱中,远离真主的慈恩)。"(《塔哈》123-126)
(Allah) said:"Get you down (from the Paradise to the earth), both of you, together, some of you are an enemy to some others. Then if there comes to you guidance from Me, then whoever follows My Guidance shall neither go astray, nor fall into distress and misery "But whosoever turns away from My Reminder (i.e. neither believes in this Quran nor acts on its orders, etc.) verily, for him is a life of hardship, and We shall raise him up blind on the Day of Resurrection." He will say:"O my Lord! Why have you raised me up blind, while I had sight (before)." (Allah) will say: "Like this, Our Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) came unto you, but you disregarded them and so this Day, you too will be forgotten (in the Hell-fire, away from Allah's Mercy)." (TaHa 123- 126).
关于努哈(as),真主(swt)说:
And in respect to Nooh (as) Allah (swt) said:
我们确实派遣了努哈(Noah)去见他的族人,他说:"我的族人啊!你们要崇拜真主!除了祂,你们没有别的伊拉赫(Ilaah,神)。难道你们不敬畏祂吗?"(《信士》23:23)
And indeed We sent Nuh (Noah) to his people, and he said: "O my people! Worship Allah! You have no other Ilaah (God) but Him. Will you then fear Him (Al-Mu’minoon 23).
他(swt)说:
And He (swt) said:
至于阿德人,我们派遣了他们的兄弟呼德。他说:"我的族人啊,你们当崇拜真主,除祂之外你们没有别的主宰。你们难道不敬畏祂吗?"(《古兰经》7:65)
And to the 'Aad [We sent] their brother Hud. He said: "O my people, worship Allah. You have no deity other than Him. Will you not then fear Him?" (AlA’araaf 65).
And:
And:
至于赛莫德人,我们派去了他们的兄弟撒利哈。他说:"我的宗族啊,你们当崇拜真主,除祂之外,你们没有别的主宰。你们的主已经给你们带来了明证。"(《高处章》7:73)
And to the Thamud [We sent] their brother Salih. He said: "O my people, worship Allah ; you have no deity other than Him. There has come to you clear evidence from your Lord (Al-A’araaf 73).
And:
And:
而易卜拉欣(Ibrahim)对他的people说:"你们应当崇拜真主,敬畏祂。这对你们是更好的,如果你们知道的话。"(蜘蛛章 16) Note: "people" in the original is an English word, and the instruction "translate faithfully" means I should render it as 人民 / 族人 rather than leave the English. Corrected: 而易卜拉欣(Ibrahim)对他的族人说:"你们应当崇拜真主,敬畏祂。这对你们是更好的,如果你们知道的话。"(蜘蛛章 16)
