A Passage to China (走近中国) - Islam

Islam probably first reached China in the mid-seventh century. Islam came to China mainly from Central Asia. The Silk Road helped not only commerce but also the spreading of Islam. Arab merchants or Muslim merchants who traveled the Silk Road through Central Asia to and from China converted many peoples, including the Han people and the Uygur people. The Yuan Dynasty witnessed the zenith of prosperity of Islam. Now China has more than 30,000 mosques.
The word “Islam” means “surrender” or “submission”, submission to the will of Allah, the one God. Therefore Muslims are people who have submitted themselves. The basic creed of Islam is brief: There is no God but Allah, and Muhammad is the Prophet of Allah. Islam was founded by the Arab prophet Mohammed (570-632). The religion Muhammad founded has become one of the most potent cultural forces in the world now. The Koran is the holy book of Islam. It is accepted by Muslims as the infallible word of Allah and is said to be a transcription of revelation given to the prophet Muhammad over a period of 20 years.

Today it is believed that there are 4 million Chinese Muslims. There is one autonomous region, Ningxia Huizu, which is designated for Islamic people.

It is true that from 1966 to 1976, a period of what is called the “Cultural Revolution”, Christian churches, Buddhist temples and Islamic mosques were closed and some damaged. After 1977, however, the situation has returned to normal, worship services among religions reopened, and the damaged religious buildings have been repaired.
