第二十二条
Article 22
该统治制度建立在四项原则之上,它们是:
The ruling system is built upon four principles which are:
a. 主权属于立法者(Ash-Shaari'),而不属于民众。
a. Sovereignty is for the Shar’ rather than fort the people.
b. 该权威属于乌玛(穆斯林共同体)。
b. The authority is for the Ummah.
c. 任命一位哈里发是穆斯林的义务。
c. To appoint a single Khalifah is an obligation upon the Muslims.
d. 只有哈里发拥有采纳伊斯兰教法条例的权利,因此由他颁布宪法和其他法律。
d. The Khalifah alone has the right to adopt Shari’ah rules, so he is the one who enacts the constitution and the rest of the laws.
本文阐释了该规则的基础,没有这一基础,该规则便无从成立。这一基础中的任何一部分若不成立,该规则也随之不成立。所谓“意图”即伊斯兰教的律法判定,换言之,是伊斯兰的权威,而非任何一条规则。此基础是在考察沙里尔(Shari'ah)经据之后推导得出的。
This article explains the basis of the rule, which cannot exist without this basis. If anything from this basis goes then the rule goes. The intention is the Islamic ruling; in other words, the authority of Islam, not any rule. And this basis has been derived after scrutiny of the Shari’ah evidences.
