Biesmillahi Irrahmaan Irrahiem.
assalamu aleikum dear brothers,
marschallah I more and more come to the discover that there are many chinese Muslims in this Dunya. I am a converted Chinese muslim living in Holland.
It is indeed a truth for my experience that the Muslims are not known in general and "kept away" from the society in China. For the years I have been living in China I have never heard from the term of Muslims. Only the name of Hui minority was known to me, which I heard it was one or the minorities in China. It gave the impression that Muslims didn't even excist. It is only when I converted (Alhamdoellilah) to be a Muslim that I found out that there are so many Muslims in China too.. In the Netherlands the majority are Muslims from Marocco or Turkey, there are some Indonesian and Somalian Muslims too. Allahoe Alem, but as far as I know I am the only Chinese Muslim walking around in Holland.
Indeed education of the youth is a very important issue. We are obliged in the Islam to gain knowledge and not to be as unknown and follow others without using own mind.
What about the chinese muslims speaking urdu.. I would like to know some information about this. As I am planning to learn Urdu to Inschallah.
May Allah guide us and keep us to the right Path.
Taminah
