12 建立伊斯兰国家
12 Establishing the Islamic State
使者(愿主赐他平安)终于抵达麦地那,当地民众纷纷前来迎接他ﷺ,其中有穆斯林、多神教徒和犹太人。大家都渴望亲眼见到他ﷺ的庄严风采。他ﷺ很快便被穆斯林们簇拥着,他们都急切地希望服侍他ﷺ,为他提供安慰与款待。他们甘愿为传播伊斯兰使命(Da'wah)而牺牲生命。
The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) eventually arrived in Madinah and was greeted by a large number of its people, Muslims, polytheists and Jews alike. They were all eager to witness his awesome presence and he soon came to be surrounded by the Muslims who were all anxious to serve him and to offer him comfort and hospitality. They were ready to sacrifice their lives in the way of the Da’wah.
每个人都希望真主的使者ﷺ住在自己家中,但他ﷺ任由骆驼的缰绳松开,直到它跪在萨赫勒和苏海勒(即阿慕尔之子)的仓库旁。真主的使者ﷺ随后买下了那块地,并在其周围建造了清真寺和他ﷺ自己的房屋。清真寺和房屋的建造进行得很顺利,因为它们非常简朴,建造成本也很低。清真寺由一个宽阔的庭院构成,墙壁用砖块砌成。屋顶的一部分用棕榈树枝覆盖,其余部分则露天。清真寺的一部分用作无家可归的穷人的栖身之所。除了在宵礼时用干草火把照明外,清真寺从不点灯。
Everyone wanted the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) to lodge with him, but he (pbuh) left the reins of his she-camel free until it knelt by the storehouse of Sahl and Suhayl, sons of ‘Amr. The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) subsequently bought it and built a Masjid and his houses around it. The building of the Masjid and the houses turned out to be an easy task, being very modest and cheap to construct. The Masjid consisted of a large courtyard with walls composed of bricks. One part of the ceiling was covered in palm tree branches and the remainder left uncovered. Part of the Masjid served as a shelter to the poor who did not have a home. The Masjid was never lit except during the Isha prayer, when torches of hay were used to light it.
先知穆罕默德ﷺ的房屋与清真寺一样朴素简陋,只是更加明亮一些。安拉的使者ﷺ在清真寺和房屋建造期间,借住在艾布·艾尤卜·哈立德·本·宰德·安萨里家中,房屋建好后便搬了进去。他ﷺ思考着自己所追求的新生活,思考着宣教如何从一个阶段进入另一个阶段:从适应环境的阶段,到与非伊斯兰社会互动的阶段,再到最终在民众中实施伊斯兰律例的阶段。他ﷺ思考着这个新时代:它将他从呼吁伊斯兰、忍受侵害的阶段,带入了掌权、有权威、并且有能力保护、捍卫和传播伊斯兰讯息的阶段。安拉的使者ﷺ从第一天起就下令修建清真寺,它被用于拜功、集会、协商,也是他ﷺ处理民众事务、并在他们之间裁决的场所。他ﷺ任命艾布·伯克尔和欧麦尔为他的两位助手,并说:"我在大地上的两位助手是艾布·伯克尔和欧麦尔。"
The houses of the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) were just as simple and modest as the Masjid itself except that they were more lighted. Allah’s Messenger (pbuh) lodged with Abi Ayub Khalid ibn Zayd al-Ansari while the Masjid and houses were being built and he moved in as soon as they were ready. He (pbuh) thought about the new life that he had sought, the way that the Da’wah had moved from one stage to another, from the stage of acculturation to the stage of interaction with the non-Islamic society to that of the eventual implementation of the rules of Islam upon people. He (pbuh) thought about the new era that took him from calling for Islam and enduring aggression towards the phase of rule, authority and the power that was now able to protect, defend, and propagate the Message of Islam. The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) ordered the building of the Masjid from the very first day and it was utilized for Salah (prayers), meetings, consultation and a place where he (pbuh) looked after the people’s affairs and from where he (pbuh) judged between them. He (pbuh) appointed Abu Bakr and ‘Umar as his two assistants, saying, “My two assistants on Earth are Abu Bakr and ‘Umar.”.
穆斯林们聚集在安拉的使者ﷺ周围。他们在一切事务上总是向他请求指引和建议。因此,他ﷺ履行了国家元首、法官和军队总司令的职责。于是,他ﷺ照料穆斯林的事务,裁决他们之间的纠纷,并任命国家军队各分队的领导者,最终派遣他们到麦地那之外去执行军事远征和任务。
The Muslims gathered around the Messenger of Allah (pbuh). They would always approach him for guidance and advice in all matters. He (pbuh) thus performed the duty of the Head of State, the Judge and the Commander-in-Chief of the army. Therefore, he (pbuh) looked after the affairs of the Muslims, settled their disputes and appointed leaders to the State’s army divisions, eventually sending them outside Madinah on military campaigns and missions.
安拉的使者ﷺ从抵达麦地那的第一天起就建立了伊斯兰国家,并开始对其进行构建:以坚实的基础组建社会,同时集结适当的力量,以便能够保卫国家、传达使命。在这些工作完成之后,先知ﷺ才得以着手清除阻碍伊斯兰传播的物质障碍。
Allah’s Messenger (pbuh) founded the Islamic State from the very first day he arrived in Madinah and began to structure it by forming the society on a solid foundation as well as by gathering the appropriate forces in order to be able to protect the State and convey the Message. With this accomplished, he (pbuh) could begin to remove the material obstacles that stood in the way of the spreading of Islam.
