The As-Sabiqun ((アラビア語:السَّابِقُونَ)) is an American Muslim organization under the leadership of founder Imam Abdul Alim Musa, based in Washington, D.C. and with branches in Oakland (led by speaker and activist Amir Abdul Malik Ali), Philadelphia, Los Angeles, San Diego, and Sacramento. As-Sabiqun is identified as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center.〔(Splcenter.org )〕 ==History== The organization was created by African-American Muslim convert Imam Abdul Alim Musa in the early 1990s at the Masjid Al-Islam mosque in Oakland, California. The name ''As-Sabiqun'', is approximately translated from Arabic as "the vanguard". The inspiration for the name comes from the verse in the Quran (9:100): ''"The vanguard (of Islam) – the first of those who forsook (their homes) and of Those who gave them aid and (also) Those who follow them in good deeds. – Well pleased is Allah with them. As they are with Him. For them hath He prepared Gardens under which rivers flow. To dwell therein for ever. That is the Supreme Felicity."''〔Sura At-Tauba (The Repentance), ayat 100, Quran〕 The organizational leadership has delivered numerous speeches in the United States and abroad, offering its analysis and contributing its efforts to solving contemporary problems in the Muslim world and in urban America. The group's paramount goal is the establishment of a modern Islamic state, or Caliphate, governed by shariah (Islamic law). Imam Musa has indicated a dedication to avoid what he calls an "absolutist" outlook on the advancement of Muslims. For example, while he does not advocate participation in the American political process as an ideal method for advancing Islamic issues in the US, he does not criticize groups who do. The As-Sabiqun philosophy stresses unity between the various Islamic organizations, regardless of methods, in the attainment of common goals. Cooperation on domestic social issues with like-minded non-Muslim groups is also encouraged, as long as Islamic ethics and morality are not compromised. Additionally, although the As-Sabiqun is a Sunni movement, they have publicly voiced support for Shia movements and organizations such as the 1979 Iranian Revolution and Hizbullah. Imam Musa has repeatedly stressed that the tendency by some Muslims to focus on the differences between Sunni and Shia Islam at this juncture in history is counterproductive to the goals of the Islamic movement as a whole. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「As-Sabiqun」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
