摘要
沙特阿拉伯是伊斯兰教的发源地,同时它又是以伊斯兰教为国教的政教合一的国家,素有世界穆斯林“精神祖国”之称。毋庸置疑,伊斯兰教在沙特占有绝对突出地位,并且始终在沙特政治、经济和社会生活中施展着经久不衰的活力。因此,深入探讨和研究作为沙特社会结构重要组成部分的乌里玛阶层及其宗教组织的状况,对于了解伊斯兰教在伊斯兰国家中的地位和作用等问题具有普遍的借鉴意义。
The ulama is a special and relatively independent class of Saudi Arabia society,Their activities relate to religion,judicature,education and many oth-er flelds. They play the roles of drafter,explainer,arbitrator and executor ofMuslim law in Saudi Arabia. As the faithful guard of the holy koran andWahhabl doctrine,the ulama provide advice on the legitimacy of the secularregime as well as on domestic and foreign policy of Saudi Arabia. In order to maintain the purity of their belief,the ulama also abide by their rel-igious doctrine to direct Muslim's culture, tradition, ethics and mode ofbehaviour. Ina word,the ulama class exist as a bridge between the secular re-gime and the Muslim, the ruling class and the ruled class. The Wahhabi do-ctrine becomes the ideological prop for the existence of Saudi Arabia regime.
