清真寺文化及其价值——兼论当代伊斯兰社会现状(下)

The Mosque Culture and Its Value (2 of 2)——Discussion upon Current Situation of Moslem Society

清真寺文化是伊斯兰文化的重要组成部分,是伊斯兰政治文化和宗教文化得以发展的重要标志,伊斯兰教早期的政治制度为政教合一,其宗教、政治实践活动以清真寺为中心,在清真寺进行动员、策划、实施。后来政教分离,不再是一体,但许多政治家还继续在清真寺从事政治活动,民众也习惯在清真寺接受那些政治家的政治宣传。不论是政教合一或是政教分离,清真寺的政治作用始终存在,政治认同也一直存在。清真寺不仅是宗教场所,也是政治、文化、教育等场所。在伊斯兰社会发展中,清真寺是宗教、政治、社会、文化、教育、生活变迁的产物,以清真寺为中心的生活成为社会主流文化,清真寺文化处于社会生活的主导地位,其价值是多元的,不仅具有宗教价值,还具有政治价值、社会价值和教育价值等。

The Mosque Culture is the important composition of Islamic culture and symbol of Islamic political cultural and religious cultural development. The earlier Islamic political system was the religious and administrative complex, whose religious and political activities were mainly based on mosques, characteristic of mobilizing, planning and implementing. Later, religion and administration were separated and not an unnification, but many politicians still practiced their political activities in mosques and the common peoples became accustomed to receiving their political propaganda there. Whether being religious and administrative complex or separation, the political functions of mosque always exists and political identity exists. With the Islamic social development, mosques have been the products of changes in many fields. Lives around mosques have been mainstream of the Islamic culture which dominates the social life. The Islamic culture has not only the value of religion, but that of politics, society and education.
