10.15 蜥蜴洞即将到来
10.15 Lizard Hole Cometh
在《古兰经》中，安拉详细描述了Bani Isra’il（以色列后裔）的罪行和精神上的缺陷，原因在于穆斯林会重蹈他们的覆辙。那段广为人知的圣训所说的穆斯林将一步一步地走上前人的道路，正是对这一令人沮丧的结局的印证。
In the Quran, Allah gave us such a detailed description of Bani Isra’il and their crimes and spiritual deficiencies because the Muslims would mirror their evolution. The well-known hadith of Muslims following the path of those before them, step by step, testifies to this depressing eventuality.
“你们必将跟随在你们之前的人的道路，一步一步，一寸一寸，甚至即使他们钻进了蜥蜴的洞穴，你们也会跟着钻进去。”我们说：“安拉的使者啊，您是指犹太教徒和基督教徒吗？”他说：“不然还有谁呢？”ﷺ
“You would walk the same path as was taken by those before you inch by inch and step by step so much so that if they had entered into the hole of the lizard, you would follow them in this also. We said: ‘Allah’s Messenger, do you mean Jews and Christians?’ He said: ‘Who else?’”
当我们环顾四周时，便清楚地看到，使者ﷺ所言确实是真实的。请思考相关的经文，你会发现同样的行为和做法，而且不只存在于少数穆斯林之中，而是越来越多地见于大多数人及其领袖之中。
And when we look around us, we see as clear as day that the Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم undoubtedly spoke the truth. Reflect on the relevant ayat and you will see the same behaviors and actions, not with a small minority of the Ummah, but increasingly the majority and their leaders.
致那些对自己的宗教不满意、想要按自己的喜好将其“改革”的人：
To those who are not satisfied with their religion and seek to “reform” it to their liking:
“而如果你们背弃，祂将以另一群人取代你们；他们将不会像你们一样。”
“And if you turn away, He will replace you with another people; then they will not be the likes of you.”
