7:19 this brother, even tho he is not muslim, he is aware of islam and why we have certain rules, and he respects that, he observes his peers and educates himself in our history and our book better than other do 😊😊
The chinese guy who lived in Pakistan is absolutely right if a muslim cannot understand the deeper meaning of quran then there is no point understanding the core meaning of quran is that which make the difference people of other religions also memorize their books
@@user-lb2hf1ol7s my point being how can you move on to the deeper meaning of any thing without understanding it's basics !! 🤷♂️ and trust me a lot people aren't even aware even of the core concepts in islam
Assalamu'alaikum According to data from the World Population Review for 2021, Indonesia is the country with the largest Muslim population in the world. In total there are around 231 million people in Indonesia who embrace Islam. That is my county Indonesia 🇮🇩
The bond between Pakistani and Chinese people is so pure. It must be protected from the opportunistic individuals who seek to immorally profit from it.
@@mo0s3 Tell us, what exactly is China "doing to Uyghurs"? And ask yourself, are you getting your allegations from the same groups who have colonized and genocided the Middle East and most of the world for centuries?
@@unifieddynasty i'm getting my information from Uyghur Muslim friends who have relatives imprisoned in the concentration camps, as well as from Muslim relatives who have studied in China and have friends from there. Where are you getting your information from?
@@mo0s3 I am getting my information from my Uyghur and Hui and Kazakh and Tajik muslim friends and family with generations of ancestry living in Xinjiang and Gansu and working to improve the region, in addition to the millions of upon millions of social media posts every single day coming from the region. If some of your Uyghur muslim friends' relatives are in prison in "concentration camps", then perhaps they are. And perhaps they were sent there unjustly. But if you do not have evidence and only have anecdote, then you cannot speak for the entire country of China and how they are allegedly treating the entirety of the Uyghurs and muslims in China. So do you have evidence? Tell us, what exactly is China "doing to Uyghurs"? And ask yourself, are you getting your allegations from the same groups who have colonized and genocided the Middle East and most of the world for centuries?
8:53 this man is sooooo warm. when he mentioned pork, he used the word 大肉(big meat) insdead of pork. and for those who don't know chinese, almost none of the interviewees mentioned "pork" directly, and they were very careful not to offend their muslim friends with their words.
Yes, he even paused before saying "big meat", maybe he meant to say "pork", actually I never cared about that, but the respect he showed warmed my heart
i m pleased to seeen how chiness and other ppl think about Islam. well i m Pakistani Karachian Muslim. in my view that guy who visited Pakistan he told truth. we have large amount of ppl who learned Quran but they dont know the deep meainings of Quran words. we divided to our fiqh but we forgot we are Muslims. here ppl have not religious freedom we just follow what our ulma said and we have different fiqah ulma. Muslims should have one ulma one fiqah but sorry to say we are salves of them. i am glad to seen only obey to Almight Allah said we should perform what Quran and Hadees said to us. Jazak Allah Kheir.
Isn't atheism bad? Why must we be bound by religion? If religion must be accepted, why cannot it be Christianity, why cannot it be Buddhism, and why cannot it be Hinduism?
@@yongzhu8454 Yes atheism is bad , And we muslims believe that Islam is the one true religion witch leads to salvation & Paradise in the after life & this atheists can't understand .. Everyone believes that their religion is the true one ether if they are christians , hindus , buddhists , jews or any one else ...
Chinese accept all the civilizations yet nobody should think about converting Chinese into other religions. all those Christian , Islamic missionaries and Buddhist monks tried for hundreds of year but failed. Chinese believe in Confucianism that is why Chinese are so peaceful and tolerant.
Guy's you are the ambassadors of islam in a majority non Muslim (agnostic/atheist) country with the largest population in the world. Always try and convey the core message of islam to people you come in contact with. تبارك الله فيكما
The scene at 5:45 was so funny. Definitely the book for a knowledgeable person like him to read. I even wonder if this whole interview was prepared in advance.
They seem to be more respectful than the westerners (and i live in the west). Welp, the saying goes never judge and form an opinion with your own eyes not through the media/ camera lens.
Thank you so much for this video It was intresting to see . If I understood that mean there is two largest muslim ethnic group in China (Hui and uyghurs) ?
In China, there are a total of 10 ethnic groups who believe in Islam, including the Hui, Uyghur, Kazakh, Uzbek, Tajik, Tatar, Kirgiz, Salar, Dongxiang, and Bao'an ethnic groups.
@@user-ei5tp3ml1n - You mean 150 million muslims in China? Not sure that's correct. Hui is around 12 million in population and Uygur population is around 20 million. Not all Uygur are muslims.
Is it just me or Chinese mainland in general has more positive view on Islam than the other east asians countries? Is it because their contact with Hui and Uighur people?
Perhaps because almost all of the people I interviewed were students from better universities or well-educated people, they would not be so one-sided in their view of the issue.
China had contacts with islam since the birth of islam in 7th century. one of the oldest mosques in the world was built in port city of guangzhou south china in AD 620s. back then, there was extensive trades between china and islamic world via silk road and vis indian ocean trade routes. other east asian and southeast asian countries never had contacts with islam world that early like china did. not to mention, mongols brought in many arabic and persian merchants into china during mongol domination period. since then, many arabic and persian settled in china. they were slowly assimilated into general chinese population. but they kept islamic faith and customs....i believe there was how Hui minority formed in china.
About taoïsm and islam, read "Insights into Islamic Esoterism and Taoism" by Rene Guenon and "Sufism and Taoism: A Comparative Study of Key Philosophical Concepts" by Toshihiko Izutsu. And also the books of these authors : Seyyed Hossein Nasr, Martin Lings, Reza-Shah Kazemi, Frithjof Schuon, Titus Burckhardt, William Stoddart, Huston Smith,
Tauheed, the concept of one God, Allah, is the exceptional beauty and the biggest attraction of Islam, spread this beauty. Everything else is regional rituals, how to spend lifetime keeping in mind the presence of Allah !
I'm very sad, when he say Islam( Pakistan )don't care about education. What a narrow mind they have😏.This because they don't know real Islam. Our prophet already said.. Muslim must learn until he died. And parents who neglected their children (girl/ boy)education will be judged on judgement day. Education is important and Allah ask too.
brother can u put chinese subtitles too ?? because i have a Chinese friend who wants to watch ur videos but doesn't speak English well . and thank u brother
Hello brother, I am very happy to see your channel and videos. I was studying about the situations of Muslim community of China for a month. Here I got your channel. I think that I can make your channel as a reference for my study and I also hope your help for my study.🤝🤝🤝
Yaa sure It's very helpful for me. I have more doubts in this topic. If you don't mind Can I contact with you for clearing my doubts through this medium. Otherwise can you give me any other contact number or anything else to contact with you.....
@@oldwatchmaBrother I'm student from India. I'm studying about the culture and traditions of Muslim communities in China and how do they face the civil laws of China as a Muslim. If you don't mind Can I ask you my doubts about the topic through here or any other platform if you have.
@@oldwatchmaBrother, Can you please connect me with any Islamic scholar of China or any Imams of the mosque from there. I want to know more about the practical Islam of China including their experience in this field.
那个老师太成熟,她解释了巴基斯坦人们的问题很清楚,尊重这种的人。还有他的采访的时候我们可以懂了他理解了很深的伊斯兰教。I am student in jiangsu , do you put your videos in xiao hong shu or other platforms would love to know and also welcome anytime to my city . 我请客你们哈哈。
our prophet muhammad already mention “Seek knowledge even if you have to go as far as China, for seeking knowledge is a duty on every Muslim,”. - he already travel to china and what i understand china are brilliant until end of day. That's why today you can see china also successful country and what he prediction are never wrong.
ofc they know, a lot of native chinese are muslims for more than decades. china is the country in east asia that have huge muslim population compared to japan, korea, mongolia, etc
Whether It doesn't matter that world peoples are accepting or not Islam, but one truth' is we are all aadam عليهِسَّلام 's sons and daughters.. there is no doubt, peoples who are disbelieves, & most of the peoples who doesn't accepting they will see the truth after they died.. and they will say, that "please let me go again in that earth." So that I will can worship you even I don't blink .. I promise you that I even don't blink my eye in the middle of the prayer... Things like this they will say in the last day of the earth... Allahu
First you go & see after your death & confirm , you will go into the hell for not believing in islam 😏😎🔥... We are just doing our job ( called dawah) Allah said to us : whomever mock the people who are not believing & belive in various gods that are blindly follow their own created gods ... . And we are not mock any religion ! WE ARE JUST DOING OUR JOB AND NOTHING ELSE‼️ 💢💢😡🤬‼️‼️‼️
Salaam from singapore. Im a native singaporean and not a chinese singaporean. This video is insightful. I am always curious about the general concept of God/religion the chinese have. Because mostly the chinese here especially from Buddhist and Taoist faith backgrounds seem to asscociate religion with culture/tradition/ethnicity. Most of them are unable to distinguish the difference between faith/religion and race/ethicity. Just like some people in this video. They only know islam because of some minority ethnic race. And this video affirms that many Chinese think religion = ethnic tradition. And why do they do this? What in history made them like this? Cos God is the God of everyone and everything. Not just for a race. And i always wonder from what angle can i engage with them about the topic of God of the universe and not just merely of God of a ethnic race. So im wondering what if you could ask them maybe in the next video, what is their idea of God. Do they believe in a Creator? If so, what kind of impression do they have about the Creator of the universe? E.g all powerful, all knowing etc of Allah's 99 names? What would their response be. Would be lovely to see you do one video on this topic.
Mostly positive since Chinese media only reports positive news about Pakistan. But if you asked the ones really knows about the region, they will tell you Pakistan is facing lots of challenges. power struggle between regional and central government, ethics groups, political families and the military, and much more... It is so divided and it hindered its development. China sees Pakistan as its closet ally, and wound want to see it develop.
people forget that the Indonesian's Singapore Malaysia Philippines all this area = the Muslim's use to class these people as Chinese but i think they was mixed with Indian/Muslim due to the mixing that happened = it was America/west that started to separate all these little islands away from china and India = for there own gain
Dad is a wise man. But pakistan needed scholars who have the Quran memorized cover to cover. So the 1400 year old claim can be proved that it was a mouth to mouth tradition then it was written on document. Beautiful video.
wa alaikum salam~Although I am very opposed to this matter, but I don't want to lie. Actually, the dome will remove and replace with a traditional Chinese architectural roof,make it like the mosques in beijing. how do you think about this?
@@oldwatchma In my opinion, it is better for a mosque dome that has been installed like that to be replaced again, let it be like that. if you want to build a new mosque with traditional Chinese style. I hope the Chinese Muslim brothers are under the protection of Allah. Aamiin🤲
@@oldwatchma It is a shame that its historical value has diminished.Alhamdulillah in Indonesia We are allowed to build mosques in Chinese architectural style.
the interesting part many know about halal food but they don't know (or didn't mention) about One God and His Messenger. I mean this makes Islam special not halal food or some strict regulations. It seems to me that many Chinese have very very little knowledge about Islam. Even though I can understand their situation, this makes me feel sad bout them. i mean if they know the essence of Islam, its core concept then they would love it, at least some will do.
Egyptian religion wasn't the Ancient Egyptian religion when Muslim arrived in the 7th century, it was mostly Christianity, the old Ancient religion was mostly finished not long after Christianity appeared
May Allah guide you oldwatch and viona ! Your way of asking triggering questions like what deen would you choose ?! This question could result a person to make redah and believe in Kufr ! May Allah guide you all
Greed is the cause of all problems. Greed will destroy the greedy. Everything is do not know blind believe in deference authority is the greatest enemy of truth. Because do to lack of knowledge. deep inside too much stress too much worry fear like that. ✍
Just an opinion that may differ from others. You are entitled to your opinion and so am I, right? I think most religions in the world are Human's Centric that is the focus is human. What I mean is to achieve Heaven or a better place after life, one needs to struggle to obtain it with one's strength. There is no guarantee only hopefully you can get to heaven when you die. And I heard Christianity is the opposite. Their belief says Christianity is God's Centric that promotes no one can go to Heaven based on their strength or effort to do good deeds or to follow religious laws. They believe God intervened in Human History by sending His Son to die on the CROSS to redeem us the sinners. Once one is truly believe and repent from the sins, they will be saved. Guarantee 100%. What do you think?
"All mankind is from Adam and Eve, an Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab nor a non-Arab has any superiority over an Arab; also a White has no superiority over a Black nor a Black has any superiority over a White except by piety and good action. Learn that every Muslim is a brother to every Muslim and that the Muslims constitute one brotherhood." Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)
I have muslim friends. I never had anything wrong about Islam until a muslim harassed all the innocent chinese by saying "they are living for their own interests." Still I try to not accuse and judge all the muslims. I still think there are innocent muslims out there. Before that, I saw the whole world very nice and innocent until the muslim harassed
I'm sorry. What you're talking about is like when I was studying abroad, some Chinese people did bad things. For example, a Chinese student wore a mask and ran into a foreign girls' dormitory in the middle night,ddid strange things in front of girls. This incident brought shame to all Chinese students, and people from other countries mocked us as perverts. So once you're in a group, it's inevitable that someone's behavior will bias the entire group, right? Like what country are you from? Which nation? Are all your people perfect?
@@oldwatchmaI'm from the US and I am a Christian. What is your definition of perfection. Yeah, not smart people harm innocent ones because of what others did.
i am kazakh, not from chiba tho😅 kazakh and chinese cultures are totally different but still share little things! well, we were neighbours😂 the most famous is i guess manty🇰🇿-mandu🇨🇳
Hello brother i wanted to ask something. Do Chinese muslims drink wine? Do hui and uyghurs drink? I'm curious that's why I'm asking,i hope you will reply
It depends on whether you are a 'good' Muslim or 'bad' Muslim. Similar comparison exists, such as a 'good' catholic girl or a 'bad' catholic girl, a 'good' Buddhist monk or a 'bad' Buddhist monk.
