🌟 Ep35: How Islam Reached China — Through Character, Not Conquest 🌟

In this thirty-fifth episode of The Greatest Legacy Seerah Series, Imam Uzair Akbar explains how Islam first reached China, not by war or force, but through trade, honesty, and justice. Within just 23 years, Prophet Muhammad ﷺ established a divine constitution that transformed belief, worship, and dealings (mu‘āmalāt)—a complete code of life for humanity.

✨ In This Episode:

How Sa’d ibn Abi Waqqas (RA), the Prophet’s uncle, brought Islam to China around 650 CE.

The integrity and diplomacy of early Muslims that won the hearts of Chinese communities.

Why the Song dynasty later invited thousands of Muslim traders due to their honesty.

The story of a land dispute in India where a Mufti ruled justly against Muslims—“Muslims lost the case, but Islam won.”

Acts of kindness, like a Muslim paying for a stranger’s meal in Baghdad, that became powerful forms of da’wah.

🌿 Key Lesson:

Islam spread not through conquest, but through character. Our dealings reflect our faith—if our trade and behavior are pure, our worship gains meaning. When we embody honesty and justice, Islam shines through us.
