安拉说，

Allah says,

《阿勒-安阿姆》 [Q6:116]

Al-An’am [Q6:116]

"猜测"一词由阿拉伯语"ظن"（dhann）译来，指的是没有根据的意见、假设，实质上是一种不建立在真理、事实和正确认识之上的空洞想法。安拉明确告诉我们，大多数人的生活与行动都建立在"ظن"之上。然而他们错误地自以为立足于坚实的根基，甚至试图引领他人。换言之，他们装出一副自信的样子，以权威的口吻说话，仿佛自己真的懂得所说的内容。通过这种方式，他们试图让人们追随他们的错误。

Conjecture, translated from dhann, is baseless opinion, assumptions, basically empty thought that is not grounded in truth, reality, and understanding. Allah tells us very clearly that most people live and breathe on the basis of dhann. But they incorrectly claim that they are on solid ground, so much so that they try to lead people. In other words, they put on a show of confidence and speak with authority, acting like they know what they are talking about. In this way, they try to get people to follow them in their error.

但穆斯林必须对这些虚假的领袖保持怀疑。即便某人言语权威、拥有资历，或使用动人而有说服力的措辞，也要保持警惕。应当依据伊斯兰教显而易见、毋庸置疑的真理来加以判断。多数情况下，这样的人只是在依据臆测（zann）发言。

But the Muslim has to be skeptical of these false leaders. Even if a person speaks with authority or has credentials or uses charming, persuasive language, be careful. Judge on the basis of the manifest, undoubted truths of Islam. More likely than not, such people are only speaking from dhann.

举个例子，每隔几年，就会有新的科学研究发布所谓饮酒的“健康益处”。世俗化、受殖民影响的南亚人、阿拉伯人、波斯人等，便以这些研究为证据，来证明伊斯兰教是多么落后。但这些研究最终总是被证明有缺陷而被推翻，或者其结果模棱两可，最终无法重复，也站不住脚。

As an example, every few years a new scientific study comes out on the “health benefits” of drinking alcohol. Secular, colonized Desis, Arabs, Persians, etc., point to the studies as proof of how backwards Islam is. But inevitably, all these studies turn out to be flawed and overturned or the results turn out to be ambiguous and ultimately un-repeatable and baseless.
