穆斯林落后于世界,并非因为他们坚守伊斯兰。恰恰相反,他们的衰退始于他们放弃了对伊斯兰的坚守,并允许异域文化进入其土地、西方观念占据其头脑的那一天。当他们放弃伊斯兰的思想领导地位、忽视其da'wah(宣教),并误用其律例(aHkam)时,他们便开始衰落。因此,穆斯林若想实现复兴(naHDah),就必须恢复伊斯兰的生活方式。然而,除非他们通过承载伊斯兰的da'wah来承担伊斯兰的思想领导地位,并借由这一da'wah建立一个伊斯兰国家,否则他们无法恢复伊斯兰的生活方式;而这一伊斯兰国家又将通过承载伊斯兰的呼吁来承担伊斯兰的思想领导地位。

The Muslims did not lag behind the world due to their adherence to Islam. On the contrary, their regression commenced the day they abandoned this adherence to Islam and they allowed the foreign culture to enter their lands and the Western concepts to occupy their minds. They declined when they abandoned the intellectual leadership of Islam, neglected its da’wah and misapplied its rules (aHkam). Therefore, the Muslims must resume the Islamic way of life if they want the revival (naHDah) to occur. However, they will not be able to resume the Islamic way of life unless they carry the Islamic da’wah by carrying the intellectual leadership of Islam, and establish, by this da’wah an Islamic State which in turn will carry the intellectual leadership of Islam by carrying the Islamic call.

需要指出的是,承担思想领导的责任、通过伊斯兰的宣教(da'wah)来复兴穆斯林,是因为唯有伊斯兰能够改造世界;无论对穆斯林还是对其他人而言,离开伊斯兰,真正的复兴都无法实现。正是基于这一点,宣教工作才应当展开。

It should be noted that carrying the intellectual leadership by carrying the Islamic da’wah in order to revive the Muslims is undertaken because Islam alone can reform the world, and the true revival cannot be achieved without Islam, whether for the Muslims or others. It is on this basis that the da’wah should be carried out.
