Zheng He - Voyages to the Western Seas


On this holy month of Ramadan, we hope to bring in the remarkable achievements and life of Zheng He (1371-1433), the great Chinese Muslim admiral whom we should learn about in school - his voyages to the Western Seas.

From 1405 - 1433, he led the Chinese treasure fleet on 7 expeditions to SE Asia, India and Africa during the Ming Dynasty. "It is proven that Zheng He had discovered America and Australia in one of his trips before Columbus did."

Together with his Muslim advisers, Zheng He actively supported the continuous growth of Islam. He invited local people to embrace Islam wherever they traveled to.

Zheng He is not only the pride of the Chinese history, but also a very unique hero in the history of Islamic civilization.


Below are some good articles to learn more about Zheng He:
