这是伊斯兰国社会制度的概要。伊斯兰教法明确规定了男女之间应如何交往，以及他们的关系应如何调节。在西方社会，无论其奉行的是资本主义还是社会主义意识形态，这类准则大多缺失。相反，制定男女交往政策的必要性被忽视，仿佛它无关紧要。这在社会中所造成的后果是灾难性的。

This is an outline of the Social System of the Islamic State. The Shari‘ah clearly defines the way that men and women should interact with each other and how they should regulate their relationships. Such guidelines are largely absent in societies of the West, be they governed by Capitalist or Socialist ideologies. Instead, the need to put down a policy for interaction between men and women is ignored as if it is unimportant. The consequences of this in society are disastrous.

这会导致男性和女性在社会各个领域遭受剥削。卖淫、普遍堕胎、性传播疾病、强奸、通奸、色情制品等社会问题层出不穷,男性和女性都因此丧失尊严和荣誉。这些只是任何以人为制定的社会制度为基础的社会中所出现的部分问题。

It leads to exploitation of men and women in all areas of society. Social problems are rife, such as prostitution, widespread abortion, sexually transmitted diseases, rape, adultery, pornography - where both men and women lose all dignity and honour. These are but a few of the issues that arise in any society which has a man-made social system.

在伊斯兰教中，男性与女性的正确角色由创造男性和女性的真主（SWT）所规定。西方盛行的“自由”观念，在这里被责任与相互尊重的观念所取代。这一理念体现在男女的社会行为举止之中。

Under Islam, the correct roles for men and women are defined by Allah (swt) the creator of men and women. The mentality of ‘freedom’ that prevails in the West is replaced by one of responsibility and mutual respect. This notion is apparent in the way in which men and women behave in their social conduct.

这些角色及其所遵循的制度，不仅体现在个人的行为之中，也由统治体系加以实施，从而使民众的行为与其周围环境的运作之间达到完全的和谐。这样的效果是将民众的处境从最低层次提升到一种状态，在其中，所有人的尊严与荣誉都得到维护和尊重（伊斯兰国家即是如此）。

These roles, and the systems which regulate them are manifested not only in the conduct of the individuals, but are also implemented by the ruling system, such that there becomes a complete harmony between the behaviour of the people and the functioning of the environment around them. This has the effect of elevating the situation of the people from the lowest levels, to one where the dignity and honour of all human beings is preserved and respected (as would be the case in an Islamic State).
