Students' Daily Life at Xinjiang Islamic Institute in Northwest China

The study of Islam is encouraged in China with at least ten institutes of Islamic higher learning around the country passing on the knowledge of the Quran to Muslims. In Urumqi, capital city of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, one institute has been tutoring students for almost 30 years. For students there, the pace never lets up even during Ramadan. It’s 1:30 local time in Urumqi. The students at the Xinjiang Islamic Institute are having their first meal in a day. The food must be special, because they will start five rounds of prayers after this and then learn the Quran, without food and water for over 17 hours every day during Ramadan. "We are having food that can keep our physical strength, such as lamb pilaf, noodles served with soy sauce, fried noodles, rice, eggs, roast mutton and yogurt," said Nurahmat, a student at the institute. Some of the students have entered the mosque, reading their first scriptures of the day. With some sleep later, they will go into classes in the morning. This is the only institute in China teaching the Quran in Uygur language. Founded in 1987, it has over 1,000 graduates of ethnic minorities including Uyghur, Kyrgyz, and Tajik. They are serving in mosques across Xinjiang as worship leaders for ordinary Muslims to preserve and pass on the Muslim knowledge and the correct interpretation of the Quran. Abudurikip Temurniyaz, dean of the institute, said over 70 staff members are teaching at the school with a comprehensive curriculum system. "We have four categories of religious learning here. The most important part, the learning of the Quran, includes the way of reading, chanting, interpreting and so on," he said. Students are free in the afternoon during the month of Ramadan. But even ten hours after their first meal, many still come out to read books and do some sports. The students said learning at the institute will help them become qualified worship leaders for Muslims. "Our class have studied here for over four years. Now we've had a comprehensive understanding about the interpretations of the Quran," said a student named Mamatsawut. "When I return to my hometown in the city of Yining, I will explain the real essence of the Holy Quran to the local people," said Yusupjan, another student. Deep at night, the students and their teachers gather again in the canteen to have some food easy to digest to break the long fast during the day. With the fifth and the last round of prayers of the day, they conclude their learning of the day, and will soon be ready for the next day. More on: http://www.cctvplus.com/news/20160619...
