11. 复兴之道
11. The Way to Revival
对信士而言,生命中没有任何事比寻求造物主(SWT)的喜悦更为重要。正是祂从无到有创造了人类,也正是祂值得我们在一切行为中给予最崇高的敬重与崇拜。正如安拉(SWT)所命令的:
Nothing in life is of greater importance to the Mu‘min (believer) than to seek the pleasure of the Creator (swt). It is He that created man from nothing and He that commands the utmost respect and worship in all our actions. As Allah (swt) commanded:
“我创造精灵和人类,只是为了让他们崇拜我。”[TMQ 51:56]。真主(SWT)不仅创造了人类,还在我们内心赋予了思考能力,使我们能够回应自身的本能。我们可以选择行善或作恶,选择遵循至高者的引导,或是沉沦于虚妄之中;而这一准则完全由真主(SWT)所确定:“你当遵从主降示你的启示,真主确知你们的所作所为。”[TMQ 33:2]。以及,
“I have not created jinn and man except to worship Me.” [TMQ 51:56]. Allah (swt) not only created man, but also made within us the capacity to think and respond to our instincts. We have the choice of doing right or wrong, of following the Supreme’s guidance or descending into falsehood, the criterion solely defined by Allah (swt): “Follow what is revealed to you from your Lord. And Allah is aware of all things you do” [TMQ 33:2]. and,.
“然后,我使你遵循一条律法(Shari‘ah),借此你的目标将得以实现:所以你应当遵循这条道路,而不要顺从那些毫无知识之人的私欲。”[]
