Hello everyone. I'm here to share my knowledge with you again, and this time the knowledge I share isWhat nationality does the mosque belong to
I'll start with the answerMosques are not of any particular ethnic group！Let me elaborate on why:
1.The meaning of the mosque
The mosque is an Arabic building with a strong Islamic color, and it is a place for Muslims to worship, meet, communicate and hold some ceremonies.
The word "halal" here means "pure and unblemished", which is the praise of Islam by the Muslims of the Ming Dynasty in our country.
2.The world's earliest mosques
Around 622 A.D., Muhammad personally led the construction of the Quba Mosque and the Medina Mosque in Medina. Since then, the Muslims who followed him have had a fixed place of worship and meeting.
Since then, as Islam has spread to all parts of the world, Muslims everywhere have begun to build mosques.
Today, many Muslims visit the Kuba Mosque and Medina Mosque every year to express their gratitude and respect for Muhammad.
3.An early mosque in our country
In the 7th century, that is, during the Tang Dynasty in China, due to the opening of the Tang Dynasty to the outside world, Islam was also introduced to the Tang Dynasty with the activities of Arab merchants, and the earliest mosque in China, Guangta Temple, was built in the Tang Dynasty.
Guangta Temple is located in Yuexiu District, Guangzhou City. Legend has it that during the Tang Dynasty, the Muslims living in Guangzhou's "Fanfang" raised funds to build, and the mosque built at the same time also included the Phoenix Temple in Hangzhou.
Since then, with the development of history, mosques have gradually been built more and more in our country, and have become an important place for Muslims to worship, communicate and participate in religious activities.
It is worth mentioning that the mosques in the Tang and Song dynasties were mostly called "chapels", and then in the Ming Dynasty, they gradually had the name of "mosque".
4.The current state of the mosque
Today's mosques are widely distributed and numerous in our country. According to the data published on the Internet, there are currently 39,135 registered mosques. Among them, several provinces in the northwest region, such as Ningxia, Gansu and Qinghai, have a total of nearly 32,000 mosques, while the remaining more than 7,000 are distributed in other regions.
5.The connotation of the nation
A nation is a community in human society, and the people in this community have significant characteristics, such as speaking a common language, living in a common area, having a common Xi of life and Xi customs, and inheriting the same cultural system.
The formation of a nation is based on the alliances of clans, tribes, and tribes in primitive societies, and has an extremely long historical process. For example, the Huaxia tribe, the predecessor of the Han nationality as the descendants of Yan and Huang, was formed on the tribal alliance of the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor.
To sum up, the mosque is not of any particular nationality!Rather, it is a place where Muslims pray, meet, communicate, and perform ceremonies.
