50. 社会是人与人之间产生持久关系的群体。一个人与另一个人组成的只是一个群体。然而，如果这些个体之间产生了持久的关系，他们便形成了社会。如果没有产生持久的关系，他们仍然只是一个群体，不会成为社会。使一群人成为社会的，正是这些持久的关系。这些关系源于他们的利益。因此，是利益产生了关系；没有利益，就不会有关系。 这些事务究竟被视为利益还是损害，取决于人们对它的看法。如果一个人认为某事是利益，关系便会产生；如果不这样认为，关系就不会产生。所以，决定什么构成利益的是观念。因此，是观念产生了关系。由于观念是思想的含义，思想决定利益，相应地，思想产生关系。 一群人共同的思想会产生对利益的共同看法，进而产生关系。然而，仅有共同的思想本身并不能产生关系，还需要共同的情感。换言之，要使两个人之间产生这种关系，他们必须怀着愉悦的心情看待这一利益，即他们的情感在对利益的看法上必须一致，包括赞同、愤怒、悲伤和痛苦等方面，再加上共同的思想，利益才得以存在，关系随之产生。不过，仅有共同的思想和情感仍然不够，还必须有一个共同的制度来处理这些利益，使关系得以存在。换言之，他们必须就处理这一利益的方式达成一致，关系才得以存在。 因此,要使人与人之间产生关系,必须具备统一的思想、统一的情感和统一的制度。这三者缺一,便不存在关系。所以,社会是由拥有共同思想、共同情感和单一制度的人组成的。由此可见,社会由人、思想、情感和制度构成。它是一群彼此之间存在持久关系的人;然而,这些持久的关系是由共同的思想、共同的情感和共同的制度所产生的。社会正是依据这三个要素而形成的;因此,社会之间的差异,也随着思想、情感和制度的不同而不同。

50. Society is a group of people amongst whom permanent relationships arise. One person together with another person constitutes only a group. However, if permanent relationships occur between these individuals they then form a society. If no permanent relationships arise then they remain as a group and will not become a society. What makes a group of people into a society are the permanent relationships. These relationships arise due to their interests. Thus, it is the interest that produces a relationship; without it there would be no relationship. What determines whether such interests are seen as interests or harms is the people’s view towards such an interest. If a person views a matter as an interest, then the relationship arises, if not then the relationship will not arise. So it is the concept that determines what constitutes an interest. Accordingly, it is the concept that produces the relationship. Since concepts are the meanings of thoughts, thoughts are what determine the interest, and accordingly thoughts produce the relationship. The common thoughts of a group of people produce a common viewpoint towards the interest, which in turn produces a relationship. However, common thoughts on their own cannot produce relationships without common emotions. In other words, in order for this relationship to take place between two people, they must view the interest with pleasure, i.e. their emotions must be united in their viewpoint towards the interest, in terms of approval, anger, sadness and pain, in addition to the common thoughts, so that the interest exists and consequently the relationship arises. However, common thoughts and emotions on their own are still not enough; there must also be a common system that treats these interests so that a relationship exists. In other words, they must agree on the manner of treating this interest so that a relationship exists. Thus, for a relationship to take place between people there must be united thoughts, emotions and a system. When these three things do not exist there is no relationship. Therefore, society is composed of people who have common thoughts, common emotions and a single system. Thus, a society comprises of people, thoughts, emotions and systems. It is a group of people who have permanent relations; however these permanent relationships have been produced by common thoughts, emotions and systems. It is according to these three elements that societies are formed; hence societies differ from each other according to the difference in thoughts, emotions and systems.

51. 伊斯兰社会是指其中的各种关系都依照伊斯兰的思想、情感和制度而建立的社会。换言之,穆斯林之间以及穆斯林与他人之间所产生的关系,都须依照伊斯兰的信仰(‘Aqeedah)和沙里亚(Sharee'ah)律法来规范。仅仅有穆斯林居住其中,而其关系中并不存在伊斯兰的思想、情感和制度,这样的社会并不能成为伊斯兰社会。相反,支配其关系的思想、情感和制度必须是伊斯兰的思想、情感和制度。支配关系的思想、情感和制度必须是伊斯兰的,这是社会成为伊斯兰社会的根本条件。仅仅让人们成为穆斯林是不够的;思想、情感和制度也必须是伊斯兰的,因为社会是由思想、情感和制度构成的。因此,当今穆斯林生活的社会,无论在世界哪个地区,都不是伊斯兰社会,尽管其中的人是穆斯林。这是因为并非所有的关系都依照伊斯兰的思想、情感和制度而进行。即便是那些仍依照伊斯兰教法(ahkaam shar'iyyah)在司法中解决纠纷的国家,也不是伊斯兰社会,因为它们在其他关系上并不依照伊斯兰的思想和律法行事。要使一个社会成为伊斯兰社会,就必须使所有的关系都依照伊斯兰的信仰(‘Aqeedah)和沙里亚律法而进行。

51. The Islamic society is the society in which the relationships are according to the Islamic thoughts, emotions and systems. In other words, the relationships that arise between the Muslims, and between the Muslims and others are according to the Islamic ‘aqeedah and the Sharee’ah rules. The mere presence of Muslims, without the presence of the Islamic thoughts, emotions and systems in their relationships, does not make the society an Islamic society. Rather the thoughts, emotions and systems that control their relationships must be Islamic thoughts, emotions and systems. The fact that the thoughts, emotions and systems that control the relationships must be Islamic is a fundamental condition for a society to be Islamic. It is not enough for the people to be Muslims; rather the thoughts, emotions and systems must also be Islamic, since society is comprised of thoughts, emotions and systems. Consequently, the society in which Muslims live today, in all regions of the world, is not an Islamic society, though the people are Muslims. This is because not all of the relationships proceed according to Islamic thoughts, emotions and systems. Even the countries that still settle disputes in judiciary according to the ahkaam shar’iyyah are not an Islamic society, because they do not conduct other relationships according to the thoughts and rules of Islam. It is necessary that all the relationships proceed according to the Islamic ‘Aqeedah and the Sharee’ah rules, in order that a society be an Islamic society.

52. 将一个穆斯林今日所生活的非伊斯兰社会改变为伊斯兰社会的方法，是一次性改变所有的社会关系，即采取激进的方式，而不是渐进主义。这通过废除所有现存的关系，并一次性以伊斯兰的关系取代它们来实现。这将从统治体系开始，同时逐步推进到其他各个体系。第一步应当是彻底摧毁现存的统治结构，代之以伊斯兰的统治结构。该统治结构将强制民众遵从伊斯兰的思想和律法，并强制穆斯林依照安拉的命令和禁令组织自己的行为。判断事物的标准将是哈拉尔（合法）与哈拉姆（非法）。它通过指导和执行刑罚来推动这一变革。因此，它提醒穆斯林想起伊斯兰，并向所有民众阐明伊斯兰的思想和律法。同时，它依据哈杜德（固定刑）、吉纳亚特（刑事罪）和塔兹尔（酌定刑）惩罚违反沙里亚的人。但是，为了让穆斯林遵从伊斯兰的思想和律法，它依靠的是他们的信仰，即内在的动力。如果这种内在的动力不存在，国家将诉诸武力和执行刑罚，以确保服从。

52. The method to change a non-Islamic society in which Muslims live today and create an Islamic society is to change all the relationships at one time, i.e. according to a radical method and not by gradualism. This takes place by abolishing all present relationships and replacing them with Islamic relations all in one go. This will begin with the ruling system and then at the same time move to the rest of the systems. The first action should be to completely destroy the existing ruling structure, replacing it with the Islamic ruling structure. The ruling structure will oblige the people to follow the thoughts and rules of Islam and oblige the Muslims to organise their actions according to the orders and prohibitions of Allah ? The criteria for judging matters will be the Halaal and the Haraam. It proceeds in generating this change through direction and implementing punishments. So it reminds the Muslims of Islam and explains to all the people the thoughts and rules of Islam. At the same time, it punishes those who contravene the Sharee’ah by Hudood, Jinayaat and Ta’zeer (discretionary punishment). But to make the Muslims comply with the thoughts and rules of Islam, it relies on their belief, i.e. on the internal motivation. If this internal incentive does not exist, the state will resort to force and implementing punishment, so as to insure compliance.
