Ma Changqing

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Abdullah Ma Changqing ( Chinese  馬長慶  /  马长庆 , Pinyin Mǎ Chángqìng ; born March 1936 in Dongxiang , Gansu ; died July 16, 2018 in Xining , Qinghai Province ) was an imam from the Dongxiang nationality in the Dongguan Mosque in Xining , the capital of Qinghai Province in China, the largest mosque in that province. He was one of the political figures of the People's Republic of China, one of the religious leaders of Islam in China, and the spiritual leader of the non-Sufi Ihwan movement. He is the grandson of Ma Wanfu (1849–1934), the founder of the Chinese Islamic ihwan movement, which was more or less inspired by the Wahhabi movement in Saudi Arabia . He was a member of the 11th and 12th National Committees of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. Ma Changqing has served on the Standing Committee of the Eleventh National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, Vice Chairman of the Qinghai Province Political Consultative Conference, and Chairman of the Qinghai Islamic Association. He was a religious representative on the Standing Committee of the Eleventh and Twelfth National Committees of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. Ma Changqing gained nationwide attention when he refused to stand up during the opening session of the 12th Political Consultative Conference of the Chinese People (CPPCC) in Beijing on March 3, 2014 in a minute's silence for the victims of the fatal knife attack by local Islamist terrorists at Kunming Railway Station in Yunnan Province to show them respect. Although it was later found out that he was in a wheelchair because of age-related problems, the moment was not forgotten or overlooked by Chinese citizens. Ma Changqing was the long-time imam of the Dongguan Mosque, more than 300,000 Muslims attended his funeral in the mosque and he was buried in the Muslim cemetery in Xining.

The Chinese Arabic professor and Islam expert Xue Qingguo is cited as saying that not a few religious fundamentalists among the Chinese Muslims were influenced by Sayyid Qutb (1906–1966) and Abul A'la Maududi (1903–1979), and as a result, their way of thinking became more and more inflexible will.
