毫无疑问，人们对伊斯兰教的兴趣正在大幅高涨。东方与西方都在争相了解伊斯兰教法，并想知道它将如何影响他们。在华盛顿、伦敦和巴黎的权力走廊里，伊斯兰教的话题屡屡被提及；而在大马士革、伊斯坦布尔或拉合尔，穆斯林们同样在寻求宗教方面的指引与知识，并思考伊斯兰教将如何解决他们日常生活中的问题。人们指出街头戴希贾卜的穆斯林女性越来越多，将其视为复兴的迹象；也有人指出争相参加主麻（周五）聚礼的男性人数增加，将其视为伊斯兰复兴的另一标志。这些义务必须由穆斯林履行，而越来越多的人个人层面践行伊斯兰教，这固然令人鼓舞，但这并非全部图景，也不是唯一目标。伊斯兰教不仅必须主导穆斯林的个人生活，还必须主导整个社会。

No one can deny that there is a great upsurgence in interest in Islam. East and West alike are clamouring to understand the Islamic law and to see how it will affect them. Islam is talked about in the corridors of power in Washington, London and Paris as much as Muslims are seeking guidance and knowledge in the deen and wondering how Islam will solve their day to day problems in Damascus, Istanbul or Lahore. People point to the number of Muslim women in the streets wearing hijab as a sign of revival, or the number of men clamouring to pray the obligatory Friday prayers as another sign of Islamic resurgence. Whilst these obligations must be fulfilled by the Muslims and the signs that ever increasing numbers are practising Islam individually is encouraging, it is not the full picture or sole objective. Islam must dominate not only the personal lives of Muslims but also the society as a whole.

因此,人们对统治穆斯林土地的"库夫尔"(kufr)制度日益不满,以及围绕阿尔及利亚、埃及、波斯尼亚、克什米尔和巴勒斯坦等伊斯兰议题所迸发的情感与行动,表明穆斯林所寻求的只是伊斯兰的解决方案。当然,非穆斯林则力图把这种情绪和行动引向软弱的民族主义或世俗主义的方案,这些方案只会带来更多的苦难,而且无论如何都是哈拉姆(禁止的)。

In this way the growing uneasiness with the systems of kufr dominating Muslim lands, the outpouring of feeling and movement for Islamic issues such as in Algeria, Egypt, Bosnia, Kashmir and Palestine are signs that the Muslims are looking only for Islamic solutions. The non-Muslims of course are seeking to divert such sentiment and action towards weak nationalist or secular solutions which will lead to further misery and are haram (forbidden) in any event.

也许伊斯兰复兴最显著的单一迹象，是世界范围内、尤其是穆斯林世界对伊斯兰运动的关注日益增多。对西方意识形态构成威胁的，是那些致力于彻底推行伊斯兰教的人，他们不知疲倦地为全面实施伊斯兰制度而奋斗；而不是那些支撑摇摇欲坠的世俗政权、通过加入政府来为其统治提供合法性的人，也不是那些在没有民众授权或权威的情况下，通过社会和慈善工作来弥补政府在社会和经济方面失职的人。越来越多的关注被投向一种人为的划分，将乌玛按照想象中的原教旨主义与温和派的界线割裂开来：那些严格遵守安拉（SWT）的命令与禁令的人被贴上原教旨主义或极端主义的标签，而那些愿意向西方制度（法律）与方式妥协的人则被称为温和派。

Perhaps the greatest single sign of Islamic revival is the increasing attention paid to the Islamic movement in the world and in the Muslim world in particular. The threat to the Western ideology is coming from those struggling to implement Islam radically, that work tirelessly for a full implementation of the Islamic system and not those propping up the ailing secular regimes who legitimise their rule by joining them in government, or work to solve the social and economic failings of the governments through social and charitable works without even the mandate or authority of the people. Increasing attention is being brought to bear to divide the Ummah along imaginary fundamentalist and moderate lines where those that adhere strictly to the commands and prohibitions of Allah (swt) are labelled fundamentalist or extremist and those prepared to compromise with western systems (laws) and ways are moderate.

可以确定的是，安拉（SWT）对所有遵循安拉的话语并为祂的事业而奋斗的人所作的应许。

What is sure is the promise of Allah (swt) to all that adhere to the word of Allah and struggle in His cause:

“安拉已应许你们中间信道并行善的人，祂必使他们在大地上继承权位，正如祂使前人继承权位一样；祂必使他们所选择的宗教（deen）得以稳固确立，并将他们在畏惧之后的境况变为安宁与平安：他们将崇拜我，不以任何物与我并列。” [TMQ 24:55]

“Allah has promised to those among you who believe and work 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]
