5.0 out of 5 stars Exellent study of Chinese Sufism, July 5 2007

By Gogol - Published on Amazon.com

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Chinese Gleams of Sufi Light: Wang Tai-Yu's Great Learning of the Pure and Real and Liu Chih's Displaying the Concealment of the R (Paperback)

Wonderful study of this little known corner of the Islamic world. First the author covers the history of Islam in china and the development of a Chinsese/Islamic identity that was completely unique both to Islam and to the Chinese world around them.

Secondly a study of Chinese Sufi text and translation. A wonderful work which examines how Islam was understood by Chinese Muslims and how it was practiced.

By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Chinese Gleams of Sufi Light: Wang Tai-Yu's Great Learning of the Pure and Real and Liu Chih's Displaying the Concealment of the R (Paperback)

An original work that fills an unknown gap of Islam in China. Excellent, also includes a translation of Jami's Lawaih.
