在某种意义上，穆斯林当然接受平等原则，因为它是所有道德的核心。这是怎么回事？

There is major confusion on this question. In one sense, yes, of course Muslims accept the principle of equality because that is at the essence of all morality. How so?

任何道德体系都隐含着一个前提:相似的事物应当得到同等对待。假如我们判定甲在杂货店行窃是错误的,那么在其他条件相同的情况下,若乙做了同样的事,我们也应当判定这一行为是错误的。"其他条件相同"这一限定很重要,因为从某种意义上说,甲和乙永远不可能完全相同,毕竟他们是两个不同的人,有着不同的处境、不同的背景等等。然而,从道德的角度看,重要的是甲和乙在相关的方面是相等的,不存在任何与道德相关的差异。例如,甲长着绿眼睛,乙长着蓝眼睛,这一差异与两人都犯了盗窃罪这一事实无关,因此我们应当在法律面前同等对待他们。但如果甲是百万富翁,乙是饥肠辘辘的无家可归者,那么这就是与道德相关的差异,我们应当以不同的方式对待乙的行为,并以不同的方式理解它。

Implicit in any and all moral systems is that two like things ought to be treated equally. If Person A shoplifts at a grocery story and we judge that as wrong, then if Person B does the same thing, we should also judge that act as wrong, all else being equal. The “all else being equal” part is important because, in one sense, Person A and Person B are never equal for the simple reason that Person A and Person B are two different people with different circumstances, different backgrounds, etc. What is important from the standpoint of morality, however, is that Person A and Person B are equal in a relevant way and there are no differences that are morally relevant. For example, if Person A has green eyes and Person B has blue eyes, that is not morally relevant to the fact that both men have committed theft, so we will treat them as equal before the law. But if Person A is a millionaire and Person B is a starving homeless person, then that is a morally relevant difference and we should treat and understand Person B’s actions differently.
