About this person

Wang Jingzhai was a well-known Muslim scholar during the Republic of China period. He was the first or possibly second person to translate the entire Qur'an into Chinese, in either 1927 or 1932. He began the translation due to a request from the son of female Chinese Muslim scholar Ding Yunhui. Yunhui had written the Omudai, a partial translation of the Qur'an which omitted any references to Islamic sexual jurisprudence due to the prevailing sensitivities in women's mosques in China at the time.
