Great issue Whitesmoke.. I'v been hearing about this alot.

Unfortunately, unlike christians, We as Muslim countries or Muslim-Born people arent doing our duty in spreading Islam.

An arab friend of mine told me once about this time when he went to china, and a muslim chinese man told him: " where were you all those years when we havent even heard about Islam?".

And i'm sure its not just china..
Our governments dont care much about spreading islam, Nor will they support those who do. All they care about is Economy and Politics.

If i could i would pay for people from around the world to come and learn all about Islam. And send scholars to those who cant come.

Alhamdulilah we have our Chinese brothers to help the muslim population grow. Inshallah they will be guided on the right path and I will make dua for the whole muslim ummah that we receive hidayat from Allah subahanalawa tala. Ameen.

Well, a nice thread. im always glad to read any thread concerning the condition of muslims in my country. As a newly convert, i dont know much about the condition of common muslim Chinese, but i think the space to spread Islam in my country is limited. The communist party holds the country. What's more, just as this bro mention, we lack of essential knowledge about Islam, at the same time, many among us r "secularized" under the pressure of materialism. Anyway, i think to improve the educational standard is a feasible solution. im planning to be a volunteer teacher in some remote provinces for our little muslim children, after, or before, inshaAllah, my Master study. So my brothers and sisters, u dont need to do too much, just plz pay more attention to Chinese muslims, at least in this forum. And i'll be gladest to offer useful information as much as i can.

Dear White Smoke,

I am turk from Turkey. i know there is a muslim society called Uygurs who re turkis tribe speaking very different accent of turkish i can hardly understand. They live on the north side of Chine. May be you mean them. I dont know if there re a big society among chinesse people.

Those Uygurs re muslim people for long time not a new thing for them to be called muslim.

Translation from Arabic to chinese should be very difficult because of grammar structure . but it is not impossible. To give an example Turkish and Arabic languages re gramaticaly far different languages turkish is belong to Altay family group which include Korean Japanesse languages too, but translation is not impossible from Arabic to Turkish. Many people learn their religion from the translations.

Probably you ll think about if there re words matching the meaning of arabic words. There must be of course.

what's interesting is that china has 60 million muslims living there. you would think that they would be living with relative ease, but with a population of over 1 billion people, they're actually a small minority. let's pray for the muslims in china, that ALLAH SWT make thing easy for them.

you're right about saying that the muslim world is not doing enough in order to promote islam.

the real problem in my opinion, regarding the muslim nations failure to promote islam and islamic culture is due to the fact that most of the muslim world has been under western colonialism at one time or another. the muslim lands then gain independence and the leaders then want to have all the powers and desire that their kuffar rulers had. that's why we're in the state we are in. we have become so comfortable with the ways of the kuffar that we have given them AL WALAA ( LOYALTY ) and we have given AL BARAA ( ENMITY ) towards are fellow muslims.

Assalamu'aleikum,
According to my former economic teacher Ms Maria Ma Meng who is Chinese muslim (she always bringing S'pore tourist to China), the muslim ppl there really in need of a copy of Al-Qur'an and religious books as their gov didnt encourage them learning about religion aspecially Islam. so they only depend on outsiders to bring n donate the Al-Qur'an and religious books to them as their gov are practising communism.
Forgive me for my poor English.
