伊斯兰教三大禁忌成因初探

本文分析了伊斯兰教禁肖像、禁酒、禁出家修行这三大禁忌的原因。认为：禁肖像的原因主要有二，其一是伊斯兰教与多神教偶像崇拜者斗争的需要，其二是由安拉无形无象这一属性所决定。禁酒的原因亦主要有两方面，一是饮酒后易惹是生非、酿出祸乱，不利于社会的和平稳定，二是饮酒误事，妨碍穆斯林正常履行念功和拜功等宗教义务。禁出家修行的根源在于，一是出家制与伊斯兰教积极进取的宗旨相矛盾，二是出家制与穆斯林所承担的历史使命相背驰，三是体现伊斯兰教“正教”地位的需要，四是阿拉伯半岛不具备出家修行的社会自然条件。

Three Islamic Taboos Traced to Their Sources

The paper presents an analysis of the sources of the three Islamic taboos:no display of the portraits of Allah,no alcoholic drinks and no renouncement of one's family to become a monk or a nun. The first is to meet the need of the struggle against polytheism and to assert the invisibility of Allah.The second is because of the fact that drinking may give rise to troubles, not conducive to social peace and stability and may also interfere with the followers's observance of their religious duties. The third is due to three reasons.The practice of renouncing one's family goes against the Islamic spirit of actively striving forward, against the historic tasks the followers have to undertake and against the orthodox position of Islam. Besides the Arabic Peninsula provides no natural or social conditions for such practice.
