TODAY I will bring a bit of the story   to be shared with the  history  and development of Islam in China and Malaysia.

Chinese Muslim is a reality in the world. The number is less crowded in the world. But public opinion in Malaysia is mentioned the Chinese, Muslim Ummah will automatically imply that religious unbelievers shadow Bhudda. This is the negative symptoms, should be erased in the minds of a Muslim. Delivers society is immune to the term 'Chinese religion' that reality is not the right term because Chinese is not a religion, but a people, same  as' religious Malays. The term is not precise, but we feel awkward.

 Chinese Muslim in Malaysia seem ' third class Muslims' . They are underserved by other Muslim communities. They also got poor service from society and government institutions to manage the affairs of the convert. So much so that they are right, it seems undeniable as charity recipients.

Some of them are also entitled to two parts in which the conversion zakat recipients and the poor, but what they got was bad service. It is not surprising if we saw many Chinese people prefer a Muslim as well as Muslim communities in Malaysia attitude was a reflection of Islam. So, most of them do not even drawn to Islam despite already many years living in Muslim-majority countries.

Perhaps we forget the debt to be paid to the Chinese community. Debt is certainly not settled. The debt will di'tagih 'by those in the afterlife.

Advent of Islam Theory Through China

China is a nation that flourishes in the world, and no less substantial contribution to the Islamic civilization. If we see today in China with a population of over 1.5 million, at least 20 million Muslims. But this figure is too small compared to the actual figure. I believe, that number reached 100 million, and probably more than that if we evaluate authentic historical factors. History proves that Islam had come to China as early as 650 AD by a delegation headed by Sa'ad bin Abi Waqqas, a companion of Prophet Muhammad, as the official representative of Emperor Gaozong.

 Advent delegation sent by Caliph Uthman became the starting point of the spread of Islam in the land of China. Tang emperor who received the group ordered the construction of a memorial mosque in Canton, the first mosque built in the country. Tang Dynasty is China's golden age of cosmopolitan culture which helped introduce Islam. Muslim residents of the first in China consisted of Arab and Persian merchants. In such areas, Hui Chi tribe to accept Islam, and the name is a reference to the beginning of the Huihui or Hui as they are known today.

  

During the reign of the Umayyads, Caliph Al-Walid had sent troops to the borders of China. Head of the army was the king of China and negotiate with him. According to the Chinese, in the 9th century, many people in the south of China, especially Yunnan, China has embraced Islam. 

Once upon a time, there was chaos in the Yunan province, and many Muslims migrated to Southeast Asia. Some of them have settled in Cham, Cambodia and some have settled in the East Coast Land Melayu.Oleh reason, some old mosque architecture in Bihar and Demak, Indonesia Chinese architecture. 

Some local historians think the advent of Islam to the archipelago through China took place at the end of the 10th century to the early 11th century. 

Emanuel Godinho de Evedia say Islam came to the archipelago from China via Canton and Hainan in the 9th century AD. These findings prove the findings inscription in Ajil, located on the East Coast of Malaya.

Although too few in number, but the Chinese Muslims have a long history in Malaya and has been around for at least 600 years. They consist of merchants and residents who migrated to Malaya. When Malaya in the colonial era, they are very slow progress due to the colonists. Policies made by the colonial cause trade relations between Malaya and China declined, thus retarding the development of Chinese Muslims in Malaya. Until 1908, the Chinese Muslim community is only a fraction of the Chinese are not Muslims. Here are the statistics in 1908:

In this Muslim Chinese community in Malaysia should be noted that the servicing carefully with Islamic nations lainnnya Islam rather than belonging to the Malays in this country Islam is religion for all people and the people of God.
