3 接纳他者的理念
3 The Idea of Accepting the Other
至于接纳对方,仅仅为了了解他的观点,而不对他作出判断,也不驳斥他所说的,这完全不是伊斯兰的方法。相反,经典所指示的恰恰与此截然相反。《古兰经》中说:"他们说:'至仁主已经生了一个儿子。'你们确已说了一件可怕的恶言。诸天几乎因此而破裂,大地几乎因此而裂开,山岳几乎因此而崩塌。因为他们把儿子归于至仁主。至仁主是不应该生子的。"(《古兰经》19:88-92)
As for accepting the other, in order to merely know his opinions, without pronouncing judgments against him, and without refuting what he says, is not of the Islamic method whatsoever. Rather, what the Book indicates is completely contradictory to that. When the Noble Qur'an "They say: 'Ar-Rahmaan has begotten a child.' Indeed you have brought forth a terrible evil thing! Whereby the heavens are almost torn down, the earth split asunder and the mountains fall in ruin. That they ascribe a child to Ar-Rahmaan. And it is not suitable for Ar-Rahmaan to beget a child" [TMQ Maryam: 88-92].
"他们说:'如果你们说的是实话,这允诺何时实现?'假如那些不信道的人知道,他们在那时将无法从脸上和背后挡开火狱,也得不到援助,那该多好!不,它会突然降临到他们身上,使他们惊慌失措,他们既无力推却,也不会获得宽限。"[TMQ 安比亚章:38-40]
"And they say: 'When will this promise (come to pass), if you are truthful?' If only those who disbelieved knew when they will not be able to ward off the Fire from their faces nor their backs. Nor will they be helped. Nay, it will come upon them suddenly and perplex them. And they will have no power to avert it nor will they get respite" [TMQ Al-Anbiya: 38-40].

And:
"当你们说:'穆萨啊,我们除非亲眼看见真主,否则绝不信你。'那时,雷电击中了你们,而你们正在旁观。"[TMQ 黄牛章:55]
"And when you said: 'O Musa, we shall never believe in you until we see Allah plainly.' And you were seized with a thunder bolt while you were looking" [TMQ Al-Baqarah: 55].
和:
And:
"当有人对他们说:'你们当信安拉所降示的',他们却说:'我们只信我们所受降示的',而他们否认在那之后所降示的经典,尽管那是证实他们所拥有之经典的真理。你说:'如果你们确是信士,那你们为何从前杀害了安拉的众先知?'"(《古兰经》明文译本 Al-Baqarah 91)
"And when it was said to them: 'Believe in what Allah revealed', they said: 'We believe in what was revealed to us' and they disbelieve in what is after it while it is the truth confirming that which is with them. Say: 'Why then did you kill the Prophets of Allah aforetime if you were (indeed) believers?'" [TMQ Al-Baqarah: 91].
"他们说:'除非是犹太教徒或基督教徒,否则不会进入乐园。'这些不过是他们的妄想。你说:'如果你们是诚实的,就拿出你们的证据来。'不然,凡全身心顺服真主并行善的人,他的报酬在真主那里。他们必无恐惧,也不忧愁。"(《古兰经》2:111-112)
"And they say: 'None shall enter Paradise except he be a Jew or Christian.' Those are their desires. Say: 'Produce your proof if you are truthful.' Rather whoever submits his face to Allah and is a doer of good, his reward is with Allah. Such will not fear nor will they grieve" [TMQ Al-Baqarah: 111-112].
"他们说:'安拉有了一个儿子。'赞美祂超绝万物!不然,天地间的万物都归祂所有,一切都顺服地归向祂。"[TMQ Al-Baqarah: 116]
"And they say: 'Allah has begotten a child.' Glory be to Him! Nay, to Him belongs all that is in the heavens and the earth. All surrender to Him with obedience" [TMQ Al-Baqarah: 116].
和:
And:
他们说:"你们要成为犹太教徒或基督教徒,才能得到引导。"你说:"不然,我们要遵循易卜拉欣的宗教,他不是多神教徒。"(《古兰经》2:135)
And they say: 'Be Jews or Christians (then) you will be guided.' Say: 'Nay, the creed of Ibrahim, and he was not of the polytheists'" [TMQ Al-Baqarah: 135].
“你难道没有想过那与易卜拉欣辩论其主的人吗?因为安拉赐予了他王权。当易卜拉欣说:‘我的主是使人生、使人死的那位。’他说:‘我也能使人生、使人死。’易卜拉欣说:‘安拉使太阳从东方升起,你就使它从西方升起吧。’于是那不信道者被彻底击败了。安拉不引导不义的民众。”{《古兰经》2:258} 虽然这节经文属于在我们之前的民族的教法,但它以安拉的话开始:(SWT)
"Have you not considered about he who disputed with Ibrahim about his Lord because Allah had given him the kingdom? When Ibrahim said to him: 'My Lord is He who gives life and causes death.' He said: 'I give life and cause death.' Ibrahim said: 'Verily Allah causes the sun to rise in the east thus you cause it to rise in the west.' Thus the disbeliever was utterly defeated. And Allah guides not the unjust folk" [TMQ Al-Baqarah: 258]. Even though this ayah was of the Shar'a of those before us, however it commenced with His saying subhanahu:
和:
And:
那些坐在家中、论及其兄弟时说:"如果他们听从我们,就不会被杀。"你说:"如果你们说的是实话,那就让你们自己免于死亡吧!"(《古兰经》阿拉·伊姆兰 3:168)
"Those who said about their brothers while they sat (at home): 'Had they obeyed us, they would not have been killed.' Say: 'Avert death from yourselves if you speak the truth!'" [TMQ Al-Imran: 168].
和:
And:
"那些人说:'真主已经与我们立约,不让我们信仰任何使者,除非他带来火所吞食的供物。'你说:'在我以前,确已有使者带着明证和你们所说的那种凭据来到你们那里。如果你们是诚实的,那你们为什么杀害他们呢?'"【TMQ 阿里·伊姆兰 章:183】
"Those who said: 'Verily Allah has taken our promise not to believe in any Messenger unless he brings to us an offering which fire devours.' Say: 'There came to you Messengers before me with clear proofs and with what you speak of. Why then did you kill them if you are truthful?'" [TMQ Al-Imran: 183].
和:
And:
"犹太人说:'真主的手被捆住了。'愿他们的手被捆住,愿他们因所说的话而受诅咒!不然,真主的双手是张开的,他随意施舍。"[TMQ 筵席章:64]
"And the Jews say: 'Allah's hand is tied up!' Be their hands tied up and be they accursed for what they say! Nay, both His hands are widely outstretched. He spends as He wishes" [TMQ Al-Mai’dah: 64].
和:
And:
{那些以物配主的人将会说:"如果真主意欲,我们就不会以物配主,我们的祖先也不会,我们也不会禁止任何东西。"在他们之前,也有同样的人否认真理,直到他们尝到了我的惩罚。你说:"你们有什么知识吗?可以拿出来给我们看。你们只是遵循臆测,你们只是在撒谎。"】 [TMQ 《古兰经》6:148]
"Those who associate (with Allah) will say: 'If Allah had willed, we would not have associated nor would we have forbidden anything.' Likewise belied those before them until they tasted Our wrath. Say: 'Have you any knowledge so that you produce it for us? Verily you follow nothing but conjecture (dhann) and you do nothing but lie" [TMQ Al-An’am: 148].
和:
And:
"犹太人说:'欧宰尔是安拉的儿子',基督教徒说:'麦西哈是安拉的儿子。'这是他们口中的言论,他们效仿了先前不信道者的言论。安拉诅咒他们,他们竟如此撒谎!他们除安拉之外,把自己的拉比和修士当作主宰,也把麦ryam之子麦西哈当作主宰,而他们本only被命令崇拜独一的主宰。绝无应受崇拜的主,唯有他。他超绝于他们所以为的配偶之上!"[《古兰经》第9章:30-31节]
"And the Jews say: 'Uzayr is the son of Allah' and the Christians say: 'The Messiah is the son of Allah.' That is their saying from their mouths. They imitate the saying of those who disbelieved of old. Allah's curse is upon them, how they lie! They took their rabbis and monks as lords besides Allah and the Messiah son of Mary while they were not commanded save to worship one Lord. There is no god but He. Glorified is He beyond what they associate!" [TMQ At-Taubah: 30-1].
和:
And:
{当我的明白的节文向他们宣读时,那些不期望与我相见的人说:"你拿一部别的古兰经来,或者把这部改了。"你说:"我无权凭自己的意思更改它,我只遵循向我启示的。我实在怕如果违抗我的主,会遭受重大日子的刑罚。"你说:"如果安拉意欲,我就不会向你们宣读它,他也不会使你们知道它。我在你们中间已经度过了一生,在此之前。你们难道不理智吗?"}[TMQ 尤努斯:15-16]
"And when Our clear aayaat are recited to them, those who expect not meeting Us say: 'Bring us a Qur'an other than this or change it.' Say: 'It is not for me to change it of my own accord. I only follow that which was revealed unto Me. Verily I fear, if I disobey my Lord, the punishment of a Great Day.' Say: 'If Allah had so willed, I should not have recited it to you nor would He have made it known to you, I had stayed among you a lifetime before this. Have you then no sense?'" [TMQ Yunus: 15-6].
和:
And:
"他们说:'除了我们今世的生活,别无其他。我们死去,我们复生,只有时间会毁灭我们。'他们对此并无知识,他们只是臆测。当我们清晰的aayaat被诵读给他们听时,他们的辩论除了说:'如果你们说的是实话,就让我们的先人复活吧。'之外别无其他。你说:'是安拉使你们生,然后使你们死,然后他将在复活日把你们聚集起来,对此毫无疑问,但大多数人并不知道。'" [TMQ 嘉西叶章:24-26]。即使是《洞穴章》中的aayaat,也就是其中一人用作证据的那些经文,也没有偏离这种反驳kufr观念的方式。正如他们所说,这种对话也不仅仅是一个纯粹的理智过程;相反,它是理解并反驳kufr的观念。这在同伴的斥责中很明显,他拒绝两人中一人的kufr,说:
"And they say: 'There is nothing but our life of this world, we die and we live and nothing destroys us except time. They have no knowledge of it, they only conjecture. And when Our clear aayaat are recited to them, their argument is not other than that they say: 'Bring back our fathers if you are truthful.' Say: 'Allah gives you life then causes you to dies, then He will assemble you on the Day of Resurrection about which there is no doubt but most of mankind know not'" [TMQ Al-Jathiya: 24- 6]. Even the aayaat of Surah Al-Kahf, which one of them used as evidence, does not depart from this style of refuting the concept or concepts of kufr. Nor is the dialogue, as they say, a mere intellectual process only; rather it is understanding and refuting the concepts of kufr. This is clear in the rebuke of the companion, rejecting the kufr of one of the two, saying:
你们难道不信那位从泥土创造你们,然后从精子造你们,再把你们造成一个男人的主吗?至于我,主就是安拉,我不以任何事物与我的主并列。当你进入你的园圃时,你为何不说:"一切都按安拉的意愿发生,除安拉之外没有任何力量。"如果你看到我在财产和子嗣方面不如你,那么或许我的主会赐予我比你的园圃更好的东西,并从天上降下灾殃于其上,使它变成光秃的平地。或者它的水
Do you disbelieve in He who created you dust then out of a (nutfah) then fashioned you a man? But as for me, He is Allah my Lord and none shall I associate with my Lord. Had you, when you entered your garden, only said: 'Whatever Allah wills (will occur), there is no power except with Allah.' If you see me less than you in property and children, perhaps my Lord will give me better than your garden and send upon it a (husband) from the sky, then it will be a slippery earth. Or its water
"直到它变成深陷的,你将无法寻得它"[TMQ Al-Kahf: 37-41]。那么,当这位同伴斥责他说:"你难道不信你的造物主吗?"然后引导他说出他应当说的话,即:"真主所愿,万事非力所能,唯真主之能"时,怎么能说他没有作出判断呢?接着他向他解释了全能的造物主(Al-Qadir)降下雷殛、使水消失的能力。那么,又怎么能说这是一种没有限制、没有条件、不作判断、接纳对方原本样子的宗教对话典范呢?
becomes deep sunken so that you will not be able to seek it" [TMQ Al-Kahf: 37-41]. So how can it be said that the companion did not pronounce judgment while he rebukes him saying: 'Do you disbelieve in your creator?' Then he directs him to what is obliged upon him to say namely: 'Whatever Allah wills, there is no power except with Allah.' Then he explained to him the power of the All-Capable (Al-Qadir) Creator to send the bolt (from heaven) and make the water disappear. So how can it be said that this is a model of religious dialogue without restriction or condition, without pronouncing judgments and accepting the other as he is?
至于那位引用他的(SWT)所说的话作为证据: Note: the source text has "(SWTH)" which is an honorific abbreviation for Allah's glorification; the system rules say to keep (SWT) exactly, so the abbreviation "(SWTH)" as written is preserved here, and "His" refers to Allah, not the Prophet, so no ﷺ is added.
As for the one using as evidence His (SWTH) saying:
“说:‘你们这些不信道的人啊!我不崇拜你们所崇拜的,你们也不崇拜我所崇拜的。’”{《古兰经》·Al-Kafirun:1-3},这是与不信道者(kuffar)对话的经文,以及他的ﷺ所说的话。
Say: 'O you disbelievers! I do not worship that which you worship. And you do not worship what I worship'" [TMQ Al-Kafirun: 1-3] for dialogue with disbelievers (kuffar) and His ﷺ saying:
"如果多神教徒中有人寻求你的庇护,你就庇护他,直到他听到安拉的言语;然后护送他到安全的地方"【古兰经·忏悔章:6】用于与多神教徒的对话;这是一种错误的推论,超出了其语境。《不信道者章》已对他们作出判决,说明他们是不信道者,将留守于不信,永不信仰。安拉subhanahu早已知道他们永远不会信仰,并将此事告知了安拉的使者ﷺ。祂命令他将此传达给他们,以便提出彼此各自的义务。因此,在安拉subhanahu告知他们将至死都是不信道者之后,已不存在任何对话的余地。这章经文是针对特定的人而降示的。安拉说的是真话。他们中有些人不信,有些人被杀,没有一人信仰。
"If one of the polytheists seeks your protection, grant him protection until he hears the word of Allah; then escort him to a place of safety" [TMQ At-Tawbah: 6] for dialogue with polytheists; this is an incorrect deduction and outside its context. Surat Al-Kafirun has pronounced a judgment against them, which states that they are kuffar and will remain upon their kufr without ever believing. Allah subhanahu knew that they would never believe ever and He informed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about that. He commanded him to convey it to them in order to offer their mutual exchange of duties. So there remains no place for dialogue whatsoever after Allah subhanahu informed that they would remain disbelievers until death. This Surah descended regarding specific people. Allah spoke the truth. Some of them disbelieved and some of them were killed; and none of them believed.
