穆斯林乌玛已在没有哈里发国（伊斯兰国）的情况下生活了七十多年，一方面饱受殖民主义西方国家的统治之苦，另一方面又为外来于伊斯兰的思想所侵蚀——例如世俗主义、民族主义和个人主义，这些思想渗入了乌玛的头脑之中。

The Muslim Ummah have been living without the Khilafah (Islamic State) for over seven decades, plagued on the one hand by the domination of the colonialist Western nations, and on the other hand, afflicted by the infiltration of ideas alien to Islam - such as secularism, nationalism and individualism - into the minds of the Ummah.

在伊斯兰的制度被取代之前，这些制度曾在统一的哈里发国家旗帜下施行了一千三百多年，给生活在其治下的所有人带来了公正与安全。如今，世界再次被腐败、贫困和混乱所主导。事实上，这些正是任何建立在人为制定的法律这一脆弱根基之上的生活方式的必然结果。

In the place of the Systems of Islam, which were implemented under the banner of a unified Khilafah State for more than 1300 years, giving justice and security to all that lived under it, the world is once again dominated by corruption, poverty and disorder. Indeed, these are the natural result of any way of life that is based on the fragile foundations of man-made laws.

伊斯兰是一种迪恩（生活方式），涵盖人类生活的各个方面，从个人崇拜到经济与政治治理，都有全面的指引。源自伊斯兰信条（阿qeedah）的律法与规定，来自于创造人类与宇宙的真主（SWT）。因此，它们不存在人造意识形态所必然具有的缺陷与局限。唯有实行伊斯兰，人类才有希望脱离当前所陷入的深渊。

Islam is a deen (way of life), encompassing comprehensive guidance for all aspects of human existence, from personal worship to economics and government. The rules and laws which emanate from the Islamic ‘aqeedah (creed) come from none other than Allah (swt), the Creator of mankind and the universe. Thus, they are free from the flaws and limitations that are necessarily inherent in man-made ideologies. It is only by the implementation of Islam that mankind can ever hope to be freed from the abyss in which it is currently submerged.

每位穆斯林都有责任充分理解这一独特而完美的生活方式的细节。当我们做到这一点时,我们的心智将清楚地看到,伊斯兰的制度是解决乌玛问题的唯一切实可行的方案,我们的内心也将渴望这些制度重新在世界上得到实施。

It is the responsibility of every Muslim to understand fully about the details of this unique and perfect way of life. When we have done so, our minds will see clearly that the Systems of Islam provide the only practical solutions to the problems of the Ummah, and our hearts will yearn for their implementation in the world again.

“真主已应许你们中信道并行善的人，祂必使他们在大地上继承统治权，正如祂使先前的人们继承统治权一样；祂必为他们确立他们所喜悦的宗教，并必将他们在恐惧之后的境况变为安全与平安：他们崇拜我，不以任何事物与我并列。”[TMQ 24:55] 本书阐述伊斯兰的各项制度——统治制度、经济制度、社会制度、教育制度和司法制度。本书并非将它们当作一系列彼此孤立的学术研究，而是将其视为一个整体，说明各项制度如何相互补充，如何直接应用于我们的日常事务，以及我们应当如何努力使它们重新回到世界舞台之上。

“Allah has promised to those among you who believe and workIntroduction to the Systems of Islam 2 righteous deeds, that of a certainty He will cause them to accede to power on earth, as He granted it to those before them, that He will establish in authority their deen which He has chosen for them, and that He will change (their state) after the fear in which they lived, to one of security and peace: They will worship Me (alone) and not ascribe powers to any beside Me.” [TMQ 24:55] This book outlines the Systems of Islam - Ruling, Economic, Social, Education and Judicial, and presents them not as a series of individual academic studies, but as an integrated whole, showing how each system complements the others, how they apply directly in our lifes affairs, and how we should work to bring them back into the world arena.
