Introduction
伊斯兰是一种独特的意识形态,它建立在独特的信仰(Aqeedah)之上,而这一信仰又是一整套规则体系的根基。伊斯兰的独特性自然会引出一个问题:伊斯兰是否也来塑造人的思维过程?而思维过程是所有human beings共有的一种过程。
Islam is a unique ideology based upon a unique Aqeedah which serves as the foundation for a unique system of rules. The distinct nature of Islam would lead someone to ask whether or not Islam came to also shape the thinking process, which is a process common to all human beings.
毫无疑问,思维作为人类的一种功能,对所有人都是相同的。在这一过程中,个体通过感官将其对现实的感觉传递给大脑,然后将这种感觉与关于现实的既有信息相联系,从而产生一个思想。因此,必须存在一个现实,人能够直接或间接地感知它,而这个现实通过某一种感官被传递到大脑。
No doubt, thinking as a function of the human being is the same for all people. In this process, an individual transmits his or her sensation of the reality to the brain through the senses, and then connects this sensation to previous information about the reality to produce a thought. Thus, a reality must exist, which a person senses either directly or indirectly,1 and this reality is transmitted to the brain through one of the senses.
然而,思维并非仅仅来自感觉,而是只有当这种感觉与人所拥有的、与当前实际事物相关的任何既有信息相联系时,才会产生。
However, thought does not result from the sensation alone but results only by linking this sensation with any previous information that the human being possesses which pertains to the reality at hand.
思维并不仅仅是现实在大脑中的反映,正如马克思主义者所声称的那样。
Thinking does not only consist of the reflection of the reality onto the brain as the Marxists claim.
马克思主义者提出这一观点,其唯一目的,就是要证明物质先于"思想"(Fikr)而存在,证明现实是文化、文明、社会秩序和意识的根源,并证明这一切都是通过物质的演化而形成的。这种说法是错误的,因为现实与大脑本身并不足以产生思维。这两者虽然能够产生感觉,但感觉与思维并不相同,因为感觉在人类与动物身上都存在。然而,人的独特之处在于能够将感觉与既有的信息相联系,从而产生新的思维。
The Marxists claimed such an idea for no other reason than to prove that matter precedes the Fikr, that the reality is the source of the culture, civilization, social order, and awareness, and that all evolved through the evolution of matter. Such a claim is false because the reality and the brain are not sufficient to produce thought.2 Although these two elements produce sensation, the sensation differs from thought because sensation exists among humans as well as animals. However, the human being is distinct in the process of connecting the sensation with previous information to produce a new thought.
这种思维方式是普遍的,就像进食和行走一样。然而,由于人们秉持不同的阿கீദה(信条),而任何一种信条的确立,都会以特定的形式在智识上塑造一个人,因此,信条便成为一种智识框架,它决定了人对生活的看法,也构成了人建立其他一切思想的参照和根基。
Thinking in this method is universal, like the processes of eating and walking. However, because human beings adopt different Aqaid, and the adoption of any Aqeedah builds a person intellectually in a specific format, then the Aqeedah serves as the intellectual framework that defines the outlook towards life as well as the reference and foundation upon which the person builds all other thoughts.
因此,阿盖代(信仰)本质上要求一种独特的思维方式。以正确的理性方式接受伊斯兰阿盖代(即基于健全的理性思考,而非盲目模仿先人、盲目信从、本能的情绪冲动或个人利益),必然会使一个人转变为具有理性意识形态的人,他以独特的方法、独特的风格和独特的倾向进行思考。而这种独特的思维,又必将体现为独特的行为模式。
Thus, the Aqeedah by its nature mandates a distinct way of thinking. And adopting the Islamic Aqeedah in a correct intellectual manner (based upon sound intellectual thinking and not based on imitation of ancestors, blind faith, instinctive emotions, or benefit) will undoubtedly change the individual into an intellectual ideological person who thinks in a distinct method with a distinct style and inclination. And this distinct thinking will manifest in a distinct pattern of behavior.
