民族和人民在其先知去世之后,开始追随沙坦的脚步,他们篡改宗教,歪曲使命(Risaalah,即讯息),并放弃他们的托付(Amaanah)。因此他们迷失方向,崇拜除安拉以外的事物,除非安拉派遣一位新的先知,带来新的讯息,否则他们再无正道可循,无法获得引导、得救,也无法承担托付(信托)。那么,若托付已经失去,而前人的道路(Sunan)在迷失和追随歧途方面已被人们遵循,那么穆罕默德先知ﷺ的乌玛还剩下什么道路呢?而这是在我们确知此讯息之后不会再有新的讯息、此先知之后不会再有新的先知的情况下提出的问题?

Nations and people after the passing of their Prophets begin to follow the footsteps of Shaytaan, they change the Deen, distort the Risaalah (message) and let go of their Amaanah. They therefore go astray and worship other than Allah and no way is left for them for guidance, being saved and to carry the Amaanah (trust) unless a new Nabi is sent with a new message from Allah. So what is the path left open to the Ummah of the Nabi Muhammad (saw) if the Amaanah has been lost and the Sunan (ways) of those who came before them have been followed in terms of being led astray and following misguidance? And this is after knowing for certain that there will be no new message after this message and no new Prophet after this Prophet (saw)?

那座在守护这个民族及其使命、承载这份重托方面从未消失的堡垒，就是真主的援助，以及祂的保证：无论穆斯林离开这份使命有多远，也无论那些企图歪曲它的人如何努力，这份使命都不会失落，也永远不会被遗忘。

The fortress that does not disappear in respect to safeguarding this Ummah and her message, and her carrying of the Amaanah, is the help of Allah and His guarantee that this message will not be lost and will never be forgotten irrespective of how much the Muslims have gone away from it and regardless of the efforts of those who wish to distort it.

安拉(SWT)说:

Allah (swt) said:

因此,这一使命(Risaalah,即讯息)将持续存在并继续传承,通往信仰(Imaan)与正道的路径也永远不会消失或熄灭。这份讯息将始终是驱散一切黑暗的光明,这条道路将一直清晰地延续到审判日。

As such the Risaalah (message) will remain and continue to go and the path to Imaan and guidance will never disappear or be extinguished. The message will remain a light that scatters all darkness and the path will remain clear until the Day of Judgement.

既然这一讯息将会延续、被保存并守护到末日,那么,倘若人们忽视或否认它,将由谁来承载它呢?至于先前的民族,若他们迷失正道,安拉(SWT)会派遣一位使者并降下讯息给他们;那么,若人们迷失正道而又没有使者,伊斯兰的讯息将由谁来承载呢?

In the case where the message will continue, be preserved and safeguarded until the Day of Judgement, then who will carry it if the people neglect to or deny it? In regards to the previous nations, if they were to go astray, Allah (swt) would send a Messenger and a message to them, so who will carry the message of Islaam if the people were to go astray and if there was no Messenger?

正如安拉(SWT)保障了这一讯息不会遗失或被歪曲,安拉(SWT)也以祂的慈悯保证,乌玛不会迷失方向,整个乌玛也不会放弃承担宣教(Da'wah)的责任,无论有多少迷误者、歪曲者和否认者。因此,正如整个使命(Risaalah)得到保护和守护,乌玛之中也将始终存在那些完整承担它的人。

The answer to this is: Just as Allah (swt) has guaranteed the protection of this message from being lost or distorted He (swt) by His mercy has also guaranteed that the Ummah will not go astray and that all of it will not relinquish the carrying of the Da’wah regardless of the great number of those who are misguided or those who distort and deny. So just as the Risaalah as a whole is protected and safeguarded there will remain within the Ummah those who will carry it in its entirety.

使者ﷺ说:

The Messenger (saw) said:

（متفق عليه），这是穆斯林圣训集的文本。 Note: The user's text contains an opening parenthesis without a closing one; the translation keeps the same structure faithfully.

(Agreed upon and this is the Lafzh (worded version) of Muslim.

因此,无论乌玛偏离伊斯兰多远,无论她变得多么迷失、追随沙特尼的脚步,无论她被拉入多深的黑暗之中,乌玛之中始终会有一群人(Taa'ifah),坚守《古塔卜》与《素食》,受其光照,并遵循众先知的指引。他们将承担安拉(SWT)所赋予的使命。

So however much the Ummah strays away from Islaam, however misguided she becomes or follows the steps of Shaytaan, and however much she is pulled into darkness, there will always remain in the Ummah a Taa’ifah (group) that holds fast to the Kitaab and the Sunnah, being illuminated by them and by the guidance of the Anibyaa’ (prophets). They will undertake their work that Allah (swt)

……已经传给了他们，他们将承担众先知的遗产，成为那一群体，安拉已将守护其托付（Amaanah）并承载它的责任交付给他们。这一托付（Amaanah）即是“万物非主，唯有安拉”（Laa Ilaaha Illallah）的事宜，他们将秉持它、承载它，直到安拉（SWT）降下祂的命令，成就祂的事务。

has passed on to them and they will carry the inheritance of the Anbiyaa’ as the Taa’ifah which Allah has passed on the responsibility of safeguarding its Amaanah (trust) and carrying it. This trust (Amaanah) is the issue of Laa Ilaaha Illallah and they will adopt it and carry it until Allah (swt) brings about His command and accomplishes His affair.

安拉(SWT)说:

Allah (swt) said:

以这种方式,伊斯兰民族,即穆斯林的乌玛,无论其违背命令或误入歧途到何种程度,都将因有一群承担先知工作的塔伊法(群体)的存在,而代表为人类而兴起的最优秀的乌玛。这是因为她是一个命人行善、禁人作恶并信仰真主的乌玛。该乌玛将继续承担真主(SWT)托付给她的责任,并代表人类履行这一职责。

In this the way the Islamic Ummah, the Ummah of the Muslims, regardless of how much she disobeys or is led astray, will due to the existence of the Taa’ifah (group) that undertakes the work of the Anbiyaa’, represent the Khaira (best) Ummah raised up for mankind. This is because she is an Ummah that orders the Ma’rouf, forbids the Munkar and believes in Allah. The Ummah will remain charged with the responsibility that Allah (swt) has entrusted her with and to perform her responsibility on behalf of humankind.

安拉(SWT)说:

Allah (swt) said:

每一位成年且负有法律责任的人（Mukallaf），都有责任努力探求并领会这份托付（Amaanah），以便承担它，并沿着它清晰的道路前行。他应当以自己的信仰（Imaan）、行动和努力，致力于成为这一群体（Taa’ifah）的一部分，与之并肩，以在大地上确立真主（Ta’Aalaa）的统治。

It is a duty upon every Mukallaf (legally responsible person) to strive and exert himself to understand this Amaanah so that he can carry it and proceed upon its clear path. He would strive to be a part of this Taa’ifah (group) with his Imaan, actions and striving along with it in order to establish the rule of Allah Ta’Aalaa upon the earth.
