Abstract

This paper investigates the kind and extent of contribution of Hui Muslim women to the propagation of Islamic teachings and revival of Islamic education in China. It aims to explore the role that women led-educational institutes played in placing Muslim youth at a continuum between Chinese and Islamic educational spheres. The research employs ethnographic methodologies including participant observation and extensive interviewing and relies upon the archival data for the historical contextualization of the observed facts. It concludes that Islamic educational system in general, and the active passionate participation of Muslim women in it in particular, played a crucial role in the survival of Islamic faith and knowledge in the Chinese land and helped its adherents to connect with the mainstream Muslim world, transcending regional and cultural boundaries.
