"Seek knowlage even unto China" are the words of Prophet Muhammad. Just to clarify, great video!

[@SabirKhan-wu6je]

Incorrect, that is a weak hadith. Low chance of it being the Prophet (saw) words. The meaning however is accepted.

He also travelled all the way to China because a Sheikh told him to greet his fellow Sheikh in China and India: "It seems to me that you are fond of foreign travel. You will visit my brother Fariduddin in India, Rukonuddin in Sind and Burhanuddin in China. Convey my greetings to them".

[@Zak-ob5ze]

Did you not listen about the part where he mentioned slaves and slave wives. How can you be proud of that

[@ggsunshiners]

Everywhere in the world has a slave in the past you know. It doesn't mean that you can't be proud of some part of your history. Fun fact: Islam right now got mocked a lot for being restrictive and old. But back in the past, Islam is very progressive, giving slaves more rights than they have before. I mean they still slave sadly, but its better than no right at all.
