Islam In China - Thoughts & Reflections

Shaykh Yasir Qadhi indulges in a casual talk where he delves on personal reflections and eye openers from his trip to China. A brief introduction about the spread of Islam in China is provided.Islam was present in China since 1 H. It can be heard numerous times in Khutbahs that the Sahaba travelled all the way to China to spread Islam. It is also said that the grave of Saad Ibn-Abi-Waqas is there which is more of a myth that history. The Sahaba could not have reached China as they were still conquering provinces far from China such as Uzbekistan.  Amazing driving skills, impeccable cleanliness makes one humble oneself with propaganda . they take pride in a far better civil structure than others. They boast of a civilisation and history that goes back 5000 to 6000 years. Every city that was visited had Halal food and Masjids. Chinese Muslims have a unique blend of Islam and China. Their calligraphy is unique which looks Chinese outwardly but when we look deep is actually Arabic. This shows us that to spread Islam, it is natural to imbibe the culture and traditions of that land as far as Shariah allows it. The government has taken charge of the Mosques completely and the government appoints and trains the Imams who are trained in the Government operated Madrasas. Shaykh Yasir appreciates the numerous blessings that we have been blessed with in the freedom of worship. The floor opens for a Q & A and numerous valid questions are answered beautifully.
