![]() Sultanate of Oman Authority, Power, and Strength For the month of December, we will be revisiting some of our earlier posts from throughout the year. 'Sultan' (Arabic سلطان) is a royal title with various historical meanings. It is an Arabic title meaning "strength", "authority", "rulership" and "dictatorship", derived from the Arabic root سلطة (sulṭah), meaning "authority" or "power". Later, it came to be used as the title of certain rulers over Muslim lands who claimed almost full sovereignty in practical terms, without claiming the overall caliphate. It is similar to a king, but usually also carries religious significance. Currently only Oman and Brunei are national Sultanates, while there are smaller sultanates within the nations of Malaysia and Indonesia. The Sultan is more than just a figurehead, he is the absolute monarch. Any and all legislation comes as a royal decree. Under Sultan Qaboos (ruled 1970-2020), the Sultan was also the Prime Minister, Minister of Defense, Minister of Finance, Minister of Foreign Affairs, commander of the military, and chairman of the Central Bank. Sultan Haitham (ruling 2020-present) has since divested some of that power to others, and is no longer the Minister of Finance nor Minister of Foreign Affairs. Nevertheless, his power is still thorough and wide-ranging. "Pray much for others; plead for God’s mercy upon them; give thanks for all He is going to do for them. Pray in this way for [the Sultan] and all others who are in authority over us, or are in places of high responsibility..." (I Timothy 2:1-2, TLB) Pray that God would:

權柄、權力和力量
12月份,我們將回顧全年較早發佈的一些公告。
「蘇丹」(阿拉伯語سلطان)是一個具有多種歷史意義的王室頭銜。這是一個阿拉伯地區的頭銜,意為「力量」、「權柄」、「統治」和「獨裁」,源自阿拉伯語詞根سلطة(sulṭah),意為「權柄」或「權力」。後來,它被用作某些穆斯林土地的統治者的頭銜,這些統治者從現實層面聲稱擁有幾乎完全的主權,但沒有宣稱統管整個哈里發國。它的職能類似於「國王」,但通常也具有宗教意義。目前只有阿曼和汶萊是全國性蘇丹統治國家,而馬來西亞和印尼境內有較小的蘇丹統治領土。
蘇丹不僅僅是一個有名無實的領袖,他是絕對的君主。任何立法都以王室法令的形式出現。在蘇丹卡布斯(1970-2020年在位)的統治下,蘇丹還擔任總理、國防部長、財政部長、外交部長、軍隊指揮官和中央銀行主席。蘇丹海瑟姆(2020年至今在位)此後將某些職能分解給到其他人,不再擔任財政部長和外交部長。盡管如此,他仍然有徹底的權力,範圍廣泛。
「我勸你第一要為萬人懇求、禱告、代求、祝謝,為君王【蘇丹】和一切在位的,也該如此…」(提摩太前書2:1-2)
禱告求神:
l 開啟蘇丹的心,聆聽並回應福音信息。-使徒行傳16:14 l |
