新月是伊斯兰教的象征,清真寺的顶端一般都装有一个新月架,许多伊斯兰教国家的国旗上都有新月图案。然而,新月是如何与伊斯兰教结合在一起的呢? 先知穆罕默德时代.伊斯兰教和新月没有直接联系。伊斯兰教的一大特征是不崇拜任何偶像。它所信奉的唯一神安拉,尽管被说得创设天地万物,掌握过去、现世和未来,无所不知无所不能.但是无形无像。所以,伊斯兰教清真寺里没有任何用以膜拜的标帜。然而阿拉伯人比较偏爱月亮,认为“他们的生活是受月亮支配的,月亮使水蒸气凝结成慈爱的露水,滴在牧场上,使植物有生长的可能”,“他们在月光中放牧他们的牲畜”。因此,月亮被各部落赋予许多高贵的美名,如“瓦德”(意为爱者、父亲)、“艾勒麦盖”(意即赐予健康之神)、“阿木”
The crescent moon is a symbol of Islam. Mosques generally have a crescent moon at the top. Many Islamic countries have crescent mottos on their national flags. However, how is the new moon associated with Islam? There was no direct link between Islam and the new moon in the Prophet Muhammad era. One of the great features of Islam is not to worship any idol. Allah, the only God whom he worshiped, though omnipotent to be said to create all things in heaven and earth and to master the past, present and future, is omnipotent. Therefore, there is no sign of worship in Islamic mosques. However, Arabs prefer the moon, believing that “their life is dominated by the moon. The moon condenses the water vapor into a loving dew, drops on the pasture and makes plants grow.” “They graze their livestock in the moonlight ”. As a result, the moon has been given many noble names by tribes such as “Wade” (meaning lover, father), “Allemagne” (meaning God of Health), “Ami”
