Abstract

During the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, a group of Hui scholars devoted themselves to translating Islamic scriptures into Chinese and writing in Chinese, expounding their own academic views, and trying to interpret Islam with Confucianism. The academic circles call it "the interpretation of the Qur'an by Confucianism" and "the theoretical action of Islam based on Confucianism". Among the many Hui scholars, the first scholar to write in Chinese is Wang Daiyu. He devoted his life to such work, and communicated Confucianism and Islamic teachings from different theoretical levels, so that the two could get along with each other. In a sense, this communication is successful. Although in terms of time, the Hui people have long been integrated into Chinese society and have no distance with traditional Chinese ideology and culture, especially Confucian culture, it is still a late event to communicate the two cultures from the academic level. This paper intends to extract the concept of "Destiny" from Wang Daiyu's "Islam with Confucianism" philosophy and try to find its connection with traditional Chinese Confucianism.
