2 这一观点对男女关系的影响
2 The Impact of this view on the relationship between Man and Woman
只有当本能被激发时,才需要得到满足。一旦本能要求满足,它就会驱使人去获取满足,而只要本能处于激发状态,人就会感到焦虑。一旦本能平息下来,焦虑也就不复存在。这种本能得不到满足,不会导致死亡,也不会造成任何身体、精神或心理上的伤害;其危害仅在于焦虑与挫折。因此,满足这种本能并非必不可少,不像满足机体需要那样是强制性的,它更多是为了获得安宁与舒适。
Only when the instinct is excited, will it require satisfaction. Once the instinct requires satisfaction, it will drive mankind to acquire it, and the human will experience anxiety as long as the instinct is excited. Once it is calmed down, anxiety will no longer exist. The nonsatisfaction of this instinct will not result in death or any physical, mental, or psychological harm. Harm will be merely through anxiety and frustration. Consequently the satisfaction of this instinct is not mandatory such as the satisfaction of the organic needs, it is rather a matter to bring about tranquillity and comfort.
两件事会激发人的本能反应:
Two matters excite the instinct:
有形的现实以及。
1. The tangible reality and.
2. 思想与观念的联想
2. Thought and association of ideas.
这些事项中至少必须有一项存在,本能才会被激发。也就是说,它并非由内在动机引发,像有机需求那样;而是由外在诱因引发,即具体的现实或相关的思想。这对所有本能都成立,即生存本能、神圣化本能和繁衍本能,三者之间没有任何区别。
One of these matters at least, must be present for the instinct to be excited. Meaning, it is not excited due to an internal motive, as is the case with the organic need, but rather from an external incentive, namely the tangible reality or associated thoughts. This holds true for all instincts, namely the instinct of survival, sanctification and procreation, with no difference between them.
既然繁衍本能与其他本能相似,一旦被激发便会要求得到满足;而它只有在某种具体的现实或相关的思想联想之下才会被激发,那么人就能够控制这种满足。事实上,人能够主动促成这种满足,也能够阻止它发生,除非是以有利于保存人类种族的方式进行。看见异性,或看见任何与繁衍本能相关的具体事物,都会激发这一本能,使它要求得到满足。因此,阅读色情故事、聆听性方面的言论,都会激发繁衍本能。反之,远离异性、远离性方面的思想以及与繁衍本能相关的一切事物,就能防止这一本能被激发。这是因为,繁衍本能只有在具体的现实或性方面的思想之下才会被激发。
Since the procreation instinct is similar to the other instincts in that if it is excited it will require satisfaction, and since it is not excited except by a tangible reality or associated thoughts, then the human is able to control this satisfaction. As a matter of fact, the human is able to initiate this satisfaction, or to prevent it from taking place except in such a manner that it is geared towards preserving the human race. Seeing the opposite sex or any tangible reality related to the procreation instinct will excite the instinct and cause it to require satisfaction. Consequently, reading sexual stories and listening to sexual ideas will excite the procreation instinct. Conversely, keeping away from the opposite sex, sexual ideas or anything related to the procreation instinct will prevent the instinct from being excited. This is so because the procreation instinct cannot be excited except by a tangible reality or a sexual thought.
如果社会看待男女关系的视角聚焦于两性关系,也就是性关系,正如西方社会的情况,那么它就会热衷于制造令人兴奋的具体景象,并激发出足以唤起繁衍本能的性念头,从而使人有所需求,而通过满足这种需求,关系得以建立,安适随之获得。与此相反,如果社会看待男女关系的视角聚焦于这一本能被创造出来的目的,即延续人类,那么在公共生活中让男女远离具有挑逗性的具体景象和性念头就是必要的。否则,本能会被激发出来,并要求得到一种无从获得的满足,这会引发焦虑与挫败。此外,将令人兴奋的具体景象限定于婚姻之内,也是保存人类所必需的,因为当婚姻之内需要满足时,它能带来宁静与安适。
If the community's view of the relationship between men and woman is focused on the male-female relations, i.e. the sexual relations, as is the case in Western society, then it will be preoccupied with creating exciting tangible realities and generating sexual thoughts necessary to excite the procreation instinct, so as to require satisfaction, and by its satisfaction, the relationship is achieved and comfort is gained. Contrary to this, if the view of the community to the relationship between man and woman is focused on the purpose for which this instinct was created, namely preserving the human race, then keeping the tangible realities and sexual thoughts away from men and woman in public life is a necessity. Otherwise, the instinct will be excited and require a satisfaction that is not available, a matter which causes anxiety and frustration. Also, restricting exciting tangible realities to the case of marriage is necessary to preserve the human race, by producing tranquillity and comfort when satisfaction is demanded within marriage.
这一点清楚地表明,社群中对男女关系的看法在多大程度上主导着社群与社会的公共生活。西方与东方对男女关系的看法都是以性为核心的,而不是着眼于延续人类。因此,他们刻意寻找具体的现实事物和关于男女的性念头,以激发这种本能并使其得到满足。他们宣称,如果这种本能得不到满足,就会导致压抑,进而造成身体、心理和精神上的伤害。结果,人们在东西方社会、在西方社会与共产主义社会中,都能发现大量写作、诗歌以及文学作品中的性内容。在这些社会里,男女在家中、公园、道路和游泳池等场所不必要地自由混杂,是很正常的事。这是因为他们把这些事情视为必需品,而且是他们刻意制造出来的。这成为他们组织生活的一部分,也成为他们生活方式的一部分。
This is a clear indication of the extent that the community's view of manwoman relations has in directing public life in the community and in the society. Both the Western and Eastern view of the man-woman relationship is one that is sexual, not one geared to preserving the human race. Hence, they purposely worked on finding tangible realities and sexual thoughts for man and woman to excite this instinct, in order to satisfy it. They claimed that if this instinct is not satisfied, this will lead to suppression, which leads to physical, psychological and mental harm. As a result, one finds in the Eastern and Western communities and in the Western and Communist societies, many sexual thoughts in writing, poetry, and literature in general. It is normal in these societies to have unnecessary free mixing between men and women in their homes, parks, roads, and swimming pools for example. This is because they consider these things a necessity which they purposely create. It is a part of organising their life and a part of their life style.
穆斯林信奉伊斯兰的信仰(Aqeedah)并认可其律例的有效性,因此对此持有不同的观点。也就是说,伊斯兰视男女关系为延续人类种族而设。伊斯兰的观点并不以性方面为重心:尽管它认为性是满足感不可分割的一部分,但它并非动机所在。因此,伊斯兰认为性的念头以及能够激发本能的有形现实,是导致败坏与伤害的根源。基于此,伊斯兰禁止男女独处(Khulwa),禁止女子向陌生人(即她可以嫁娶的人)展示其魅力,也禁止男女以带有性欲的方式相互注视。伊斯兰还界定了男女在公共生活中的合作,并将男女之间的性关系限定于两种情形,即婚姻与拥有侍婢。
Muslims who believe in the Aqeedah of Islam and the validity of its rules, carry a different point of view. Meaning, Islam views the man-woman relations as for preserving the human race. The Islamic point of view does not focus on the sexual aspect of the relationship': though considering it an inseparable part of satisfaction, however, it is not the motive. Consequently, Islam views the presence of sexual ideas and the tangible realities that excite the instinct as a cause of corruption and harm. Hence, it forbade man and woman to meet in seclusion (Khulwa), the woman from showing her charms to strangers (those whom she can marry) and the men and women from looking at each other in a sexual fashion. Islam also has defined the cooperation between men and women in public life and confined sexual relations between men and women to two situations, namely marriage and ownership of concubines.
因此,伊斯兰致力于防止繁衍本能在公共生活中的任何事物中被唤起,并致力于将性关系限制在特定的情境之中。与伊斯兰相反,资本主义和共产主义则致力于制造能够唤起这一本能的情境,以便满足它,并使其在一切事物中肆意放纵。此外,伊斯兰将男女关系仅仅视为保存人类种族的手段,而资本主义和共产主义则将男女关系视为雌雄关系,即一种性的观念。伊斯兰所追求的目标与另外两种意识形态所设计要达成的目标之间的巨大差异由此显而易见。这体现了伊斯兰的观点是以纯洁、正直和贞洁为本,其目的在于人类的安宁以及人类种族的延续。
Therefore, Islam works to prevent the procreation instinct from being excited by anything in the public life and works to confine sexual relations to specific situations. Contrary to Islam, Capitalism and Communism work to create situations that excite this instinct in order to satisfy it and to set it loose in everything. Also, while Islam views the man-woman relations as only for the purpose of preserving the human race, Capitalism and Communism view the man-woman relations as a male-female one, i.e. a sexual view. The wide difference between what Islam aims to achieve and what the other two ideologies are designed to achieve becomes evident. This reflects the Islamic point of view as being one of purity, righteousness and chastity, and it is for the tranquillity of the human and the continuation of his race.
关于西方人和共产主义者所宣称的,压抑男女的性本能会给人带来精神、身体和心理上的疾病,这一说法是错误的,也与现实相悖。这是因为,有机需求与本能在满足的必要性上存在区别。前者,例如对食物、饮水和排泄的需求,必须得到满足,否则会导致可能致死的身体伤害。至于生存、保全和繁衍的本能,如果得不到满足,并不会导致任何身体、精神或心理上的伤害,而只会引起焦虑和痛苦。事实证明,一个人可能终其一生都没有满足某些本能,却并未因此受到任何伤害。此外,他们声称当繁衍本能得不到满足时会出现身体、精神和心理疾病,这也是不实的,因为这只发生在部分个体身上,并非普遍现象。这表明,此类疾病并不是因本能未获满足而自然产生的,而是由其他因素所致。如果这些并发症是压抑本能的结果,那么按照自然规律,每一例未获满足的情况都应当出现,而这种情况从未发生过。而且他们也承认,这些疾病并非因未获满足而自然产生。因此,这些并发症必定是由压抑本能以外的其他因素引起的。
With regard to what the Westerners and the Communists claim that suppressing the sexual instinct in men and women alike causes mental, physical and psychological disorders to the human, this claim is wrong and conflicts with reality. This is due to the fact that there is a difference between the organic needs and the instincts in terms of the necessity of satisfaction. The former, such as the need for food, drink, and relieving the call of nature, must be satisfied or it will result in physical harm that may lead to death. As for the instincts of survival, sanctification and procreation, if not satisfied these will not lead to any physical, mental or psychological harm, but merely lead to anxiety and pain. This is proven by the fact that a person might spend his entire life without satisfying some of the instincts and no harm befalls Him. Also their claim that physical, mental and psychological illnesses occur when the procreation instinct is not satisfied is false, since it only happens to some individuals, not humans at large. This shows that such illnesses do not happen naturally due to its non-satisfaction but rather due to other factors. If such complications were a result of suppressing the instinct, it would have happened in every case of non-satisfaction, according to the laws of nature, a matter which has never occurred. And they admit to the fact that it does not occur naturally due to non-satisfaction. Therefore, such complications must be due to factors other than the suppression of the instinct.
此外,有机性需要(生理需要)自然地从内部要求得到满足。它不需要外部刺激物,不过当需要存在时,外部刺激物会激发它。这与本能不同:本能并不像有机需要那样自然地从内部要求满足,在没有外部刺激物的情况下,它不会从内部被激发。只有当存在外部刺激时,本能才会被内部激发,而外部刺激要么来自令人兴奋的具体现实,要么来自令人兴奋的性念头,其中包括兴奋的念头之间的联想。当外部因素缺席时,就不会有激发。这一点对所有本能都成立,无论是生存本能、追求圣洁的本能还是繁衍本能,也无论它们的外在表现如何。因此,如果某种本能的刺激物存在,人就会兴奋起来,这一本能便要求得到满足。一旦刺激物被排除在外,或者人转而专注于更重要的事情,对满足的要求便会消失,他也就平静下来。这与有机需要不同:有机需要一旦被激发,在得到满足之前便永远不会消失。
Furthermore, an organic need requires satisfaction naturally from within. It does not require an external stimulant, though an external stimulant incites it when the need is present. This is different from the instinct which does not require satisfaction naturally from within, without the presence of an external stimulant. It is not stimulated internally unless there exists an external stimulant which results either from an exciting tangible reality or an exciting sexual thought, part of which is the association of exciting thoughts. When the external factor is absent, there will be no stimulation. This holds true for all instincts with no difference between the instinct of survival, sanctification or procreation and with all their external manifestations. Therefore, if a stimulant for any instinct is present, the person will be excited and the instinct will require satisfaction. Once the stimulant is kept at bay or the person becomes occupied in something that is more important, the demand for satisfaction will disappear and He will calm down. This is different from the organic need where once excited, it will never go away until satisfied.
这清楚地表明,如果繁衍本能得不到满足,并不会导致任何身体、精神或心理上的疾病,因为它仅仅是一种本能,而不是一种器官性的需要。实际发生的情况是:一旦人遇到令人兴奋的具体事物或性方面的念头,刺激了繁衍本能,这个人就会变得兴奋并要求得到满足。如果这一要求得不到满足,这个人所经历的不过是焦虑。焦虑经过反复,就会转变为痛苦。然而,如果把刺激源远离,或者让这个人专注于某件能够压倒该本能的事情,焦虑便会消失。因此,一旦被唤起,压抑繁衍本能就会导致焦虑和痛苦;而如果没有被唤起,则不会产生任何结果,既不会有焦虑,也不会有痛苦。所以,正确的解决办法是不去激发这种本能。只要它无法得到满足,就应避免任何可能激发它的事物,这样即可做到。
This clearly demonstrates that if the procreation instinct is not satisfied, there will result no physical, mental or psychological illness, since it is merely an instinct, and not an organic need. What in fact happens is that once a person is confronted with an exciting tangible reality or sexual thought, which stimulates the procreation instinct, that person will be excited and demand satisfaction. If the demand is not met with satisfaction, that person will experience nothing more than anxiety. With repetition, anxiety will turn to pain. However, if the stimulant is kept away or the person is kept occupied with something that dominates the instinct, the anxiety disappears. Therefore, suppressing the procreation instinct once aroused will result in anxiety and pain, and if not excited, nothing will result, not even anxiety or pain. Therefore, the proper solution is not to excite the instinct. This is achieved by preventing anything from exciting it as long as it can not be satisfied.
这一点表明了西方与共产主义观点的谬误,它们使社会对男女关系的看法聚焦于两性关系本身。因此,这也表明了这种观点所产生的应对方式的虚假性:通过突出那些能够激发本能的事物来刺激男女的本能,例如自由混杂、跳舞、游戏、故事等等。它同样表明了伊斯兰观点的真实性,伊斯兰使社会对男女关系的看法聚焦于这种本能被创造的目的,即延续人类种族。据此,它也表明了这一观点所产生的解决方案的正确性:当无法通过婚姻或通过婢女获得合法的满足时,就远离任何能够激发本能的有形现实或性方面的念头。因此,唯有伊斯兰能够完整而正确地治理由繁衍本能在社会和人们中所引发的败坏。这种正确而完整的治理,将使社会和人们走向虔敬与提升。
This shows the fallacy of the Western and Communist point of view, which made the community's view to the relations between men and women focused on the male-female relations. Consequently, it shows the falsehood of the treatment produced by this point of view of stimulating the instinct in the man and the woman via highlighting things that stimulate it, such as free mixing, dancing, games, stories, etc. It also shows the truthfulness of the Islamic point of view which made the community's view to man-woman relations focused on the purpose for which this instinct was created, namely preserving the human race. Accordingly, it shows the correctness of the solution produced by this view of keeping away any kind of stimulating tangible reality or sexual thought when legal satisfaction through marriage or through concubines is not available. Therefore, Islam alone is able to completely and correctly treat the corruption caused by the procreation instinct in the society and among the people. Such correct and complete treatment will result in piety and elevation in the society and among the people.
