最初，这本小书的主题是一些致力于在地上建立安拉统治的宣教者（Da'wah）所探讨和研究过的问题。讨论的内容包括乌玛（Ummah）的状况，以及她所陷入的衰落与停滞。讨论还涉及乌玛在觉醒与复兴之路上所面临的困境，已经在建立伊斯兰国之路上取得的成就，以及为使国家得以建立、从而实施伊斯兰并将其宣教传播至世界，仍必须完成的工作。在此基础上，还讨论了应当向乌玛阐明什么问题，应当号召她去做什么，以及应当使她认识到什么。

In origin the subjects of this small book were subjects that had been looked into and discussed by some of the carriers of the Da’wah working to establish the rule of Allah upon the earth. The condition and state of the Ummah was discussed and the decline and stagnation that had taken grip of her. The discussions also included addressing what she suffers from in the path towards her awakening and revival, what has already been accomplished upon the path of establishing the Islamic State, in addition to that which must still be accomplished to bring the State into existence, so that it will apply Islaam and carry its Da’wah to the world. Built upon this, the issue of what had to be addressed with the Ummah, what she needed to be called to and made aware of was also discussed.

伊斯兰国是一个政治实体，其目的在于实施伊斯兰，并将其传播到全世界。这需要具备沙里亚所认可的能力与权力。沙里亚已将这种权力赋予乌玛（穆斯林共同体），而这种能力与权力并非由某一团体、单一派别或单一政党独自拥有。相反，伊斯兰国是由乌玛在某一派别或政党（Hizb）的领导下建立的，该派别或政党已在乌玛之中重新唤醒了她对这项重大义务的信仰，同时也重新唤醒了她对此项工作的信念，以及为之牺牲的意愿。

The Islamic State is a political entity for the purpose of implementing Islaam and carrying it to the world and this requires a Shar’iyah capability and power. The Shar’a has given this power to the Ummah whilst this capability and power is not possessed by a group, single faction or single political party by itself. Rather the Islamic State is established by the Ummah with the leadership of this faction or Hizb (political party) which has brought the Imaan of the Ummah back to life within her in respect to this great obligation in addition to reawakening her Imaan in relation to its work and sacrificing upon its path.

因此，伊斯兰国是从乌玛的实体之中产生的一个实体，其目的是在乌玛之中并由乌玛来实施伊斯兰的制度，并借助乌玛、与乌玛一道将伊斯兰带给全人类。因此，是乌玛孕育了伊斯兰国。

So the Islamic State is an entity that emanates from the womb of the Ummah’s entity so as to implement with the Ummah and upon her the System of Islaam and to carry Islaam by her and along with her to the whole of mankind. Therefore it is the Ummah that gives birth to the Islamic State.

乌玛的实体不会因其他任何事物而完整或得以区分，除非是那使乌玛成为乌玛的事物，并且它依此基础而生存。我们的伊斯兰乌玛若不以其宗教作为信仰与制度来奉行，便不会成为那样的乌玛。除非它作为一个统一的集体，在一位埃米尔的领导之下存在，否则它便不会有其生产力，也不会有切实有效的存在。因此，若没有其国家实体的出现，若它不向依照安拉所降示之律例进行统治的哈里发宣誓效忠，乌玛便不会完整，也不会以完全独特的方式得以区分。

The entity of the Ummah will not be completed or distinguished except by that which makes the Ummah an Ummah and by its living upon its basis. Our Islamic Ummah will not be like that without its Deen being adopted as an Aqeedah and System. It will not have its productiveness or a practical effective presence unless it exists as a single unified Jamaa’ah (group) under the leadership of a single Ameer. Therefore the Ummah will not be completed and will not be distinguished in a completely distinct way without the emergence of its State entity and unless it pledges allegiance to its Khalifah upon the ruling by what Allah (swt) has revealed.

因此，乌玛（Ummah）的复兴别无他途，唯有她明白“万物非主，唯有真主；穆罕默德是真主的使者”（Laa Ilaaha Illallah Muhammadur Rasoolullah）的含义，并坚定地恪守这一含义。如此，她才会知道自己在今世存在的意义，以及这种存在的目的。由此，她将努力去实现这一存在的意义和这一目的。

Therefore, there is no way forward for the revival of the Ummah other than her knowing the meaning of Laa Ilaaha Illallah Muhammadur Rasoolullah and for her to firmly commit to this meaning. She will then know the meaning of her existence in this life and the purpose of this existence. As such she will strive to realise the meaning of this existence and this purpose.

此外，仅有这种知识是不够的，为达成这一目标所付出的努力也不能免除责任，除非其努力已达到伊斯兰教法所要求的程度。因此，在确立目标之后，有必要通过采取能够导向该目标的行动去努力实现它。这必须遵循真主（SWT）创造这一受造世界所依据的规律，其中包括把因与果联系起来，考虑事物的特性以及各种关系的条件。

In addition, this knowledge by itself is not enough and striving to accomplish this purpose does not free the responsibility, unless it was undertaken upon the level that the Shar’a has demanded. As such it is essential after defining the objective to strive to accomplish it by undertaking actions that lead to that. This must be in accordance to the Sunan upon which Allah (swt) has created this creation which includes connecting between the causes and the effects, considering the characteristics of matters and the conditions of relationships.

一位尊贵的兄弟建议将这些想法写成文字，然后分发给众人，并表示他愿意资助此事，以期获得报酬与福德。于是事情如愿以偿，这本包含四个主题的小书得以出版，全赞归于真主。真主（SWT）使此书受到接纳，其副本很快便售罄，而人们对它的需求依然强烈。

One of the noble brothers suggested that these thoughts be put down on paper and then distributed amongst the people and that he would fund this, desiring the Ajr and Thawaab. And as such it came to pass and this small book comprising of four subjects was published Al-Hamdu Lillah. And Allah (swt) found an acceptance for it and its copies quickly ran out whilst demand for it remained strong.

这位尊贵的兄弟察觉到了这一需求，于是愿意出资再次印刷，因此这一第二版得以出版，其中还包含了第五个主题：“阿玛纳与信仰”。

The noble brother sensed this demand and offered to print it once again through his funding and as a result this second edition was published and it included within it a fifth subject: ‘Al-Amaanah and Al-Imaan’.

然而,对今世的热爱、对死亡的厌恶、理智上的误解、软弱、绝望,以及与生计(Rizq)、寿限(Ajal)、胜利(Nasr)、信靠(Tawakkul)、善与恶(khair and Sharr)等相关的信仰概念的缺失等诸多因素,使许多穆斯林偏离了他们的人生目标——那就是崇拜安拉,而这一目标体现于他们对安拉的命令与禁令的恪守上(SWT)。当他们受到所谓的“乌拉玛”所发布的教令或言论的影响时,情况尤为如此。这些人为压迫、腐败和背叛的统治者张目。此外,还有那些政党及其追随者,他们将宗教视为非法,并编造关于安拉(SWT)的谎言。他们把合法的说成非法,把非法的说成合法,使乌玛的子孙忙于最肤浅、最徒劳的事务而分心,同时使他们偏离变革之路,偏离建立伊斯兰国家之路。

Verily the love of the Dunyaa and the hatred of death, intellectual misconceptions, weakness, despair and the absence of the Aqeedah concepts related to Rizq, Ajal, Nasr, Tawakkul, and khair and Sharr amongst others, has turned many Muslims away from their purpose in life, which is worship to Allah and is represented in their commitment to the commands and prohibitions of Allah (swt). This has particularly been the case when they have become affected by the Fataawa or opinions which have been spurted out by the so-called ‘Ulamaa who propagate on behalf of the rulers of oppression, corruption and treachery. This is in addition to the political parties and their followers who make the Deen Haraam and fabricate lies against Allah (swt). They make the Haraam Halaal and the Halaal Haraam and they busy and distract the sons of the Ummah in the most shallow and futile of matters whilst diverting them from the path of change and the path towards the establishment of the Islamic State.

为了引起对这一问题的重视，提醒其危害并加以警示，特增列第五个主题：《信托》与《信仰》。

For the sake of bringing attention to this issue, alerting to its danger and warning about it, this fifth subject was added: Al-Amaanah and Al-Imaan.

当我将这本小书呈献给伊斯兰乌玛时,我恳请那些为"除真主外别无应受崇拜者"这一事业而努力的读者,用他们的头脑和心灵来接近并研读此书,正如我以自己的头脑和心灵写成此书一样。我祈求至高的真主赐予大恩赏和丰厚的报酬,给予所有在指导、建议、财力和努力方面协助这项工作的人,以及为我和我的父母祈祷的每一个人。

When I present this small book to the Islamic Ummah I appeal to its reader from amongst those working for the cause of Laa Ilaaha Illallah to approach and study it with their minds and their hearts just as I have presented this book from my mind and heart. And I ask Him Ta’Aalaa to grant great Thawaab and Ajr to everyone who assisted in this effort in terms of direction, advice, wealth and effort and to everyone who has made Du’a for me and my parents.

啊安拉，凡是希望伊斯兰和穆斯林好的人，求你赐他在一切善事上成功；凡是希望伊斯兰和穆斯林遭殃的人，求你以那全能、大能者的惩治来惩罚他们。

O Allah whoever wants good for Islaam and the Muslims then give him Tawfeeq in every goodness and whoever wants bad for Islaam and the Muslims then seize them with the seizure of One exalted in Might and Perfect in Ability.
