In the name of Allah ﷻ, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
All praise belongs to Allah. May Allah show mercy and help all those who love truth and justice. May Allah grant peace, safety, and blessings to our brothers and sisters.
Salaamalykum (ٱلسَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ) peace be upon you, dear brothers and sisters, friends who care about Islam and Muslims, and everyone reading this message. Below is an introduction to this website and the story behind its start.
Salaamalykum.com is a software platform built by Muslims to tell their real stories using their own voices and languages. It collects news, articles, and first-hand info about religious freedom, Islamic life, marriage matching, Halal food, and various Muslim communities. This allows the global Muslim community (Ummah) and the rest of the world to see what is actually happening on the ground.
From detailed translations by local Muslims about their mosques and communities to reflections on history, education, and human rights, this site tries to practice sincere invitation to Islam (Dawah) through honest witnessing rather than political propaganda.
salaamalykum website is an online community for global muslims.
Alhamdulillah, we are muslims, we are trying to build more decentralized, 100% open-sourced websites and softwares for our muslim community, the ummah which we deserve. And this website is non-profit.
Follow Allah, Do good thing.
By Time. The human being is in loss. Except those who believe, and do good works, and encourage truth, and recommend patience. (Quran 103)
- No harmful stuffs for users: criminals, racism, and spam etc. we cannot allow these in this website. we also cannot allow fake media news, fake Ads, spam infos in the front of user eyes. So, No Evil, No Racism, No Blablabla...
- No barrier for business: Try to build a free trade association and system between muslim communities, who speak different language.
To serve people around the world, the website currently offers:
- An English website for English speakers, which includes reports, long essays, and translated documents about policies affecting Chinese mosques (masajid), Halal food, Islamic education, and publishing. English URL: https://salaamalykum.com
- A Simplified Chinese section for readers in Mainland China and overseas who read Simplified Chinese, focusing on the daily lives, cultural independence, and religious life of Hui and Uyghur Muslims under pressure. Simplified Chinese URL: https://salaamalykum.com/cn
- A Traditional Chinese section for users in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and around the world who read Traditional Chinese and want to follow the current situation of Halal Food In Chinas. Traditional Chinese URL: https://salaamalykum.com/tw
A focus on the current human rights situation of Muslims runs through these articles and documents:
- Increased control over mosques (masajid) across Mainland China, including campaigns to "rectify" Arabic script, the Quran, and other Islamic architecture.
- Persecution policies from Beijing and other local governments, including removing "Halal" labels from school cafeterias, renaming Muslim dining areas, and pushing "mixed dining" in the name of assimilation (tahawwul).
- The struggle of Hui Muslims to keep their independent religious education (Jingtang education) and the right of senior teachers to certify Imams (Ahongs) without state interference.
- Testimonies about Muslims being arrested and sentenced for printing and sharing Islamic books, as well as the broader impact on religious publishing and community memory.
- The gathering and exposure of reports and evidence regarding concentration camps in Xinjiang.
- The genocide in Palestine and Gaza.
- Exposing and reporting on human rights abuses against Muslims happening all over the world.
Sharing these materials is not meant to spread despair. Instead, it is to remind the global Muslim community (Ummah) that patience (sabr), gratitude (shukr), and unity are all parts of our faith (Deen), and that protecting cultural and religious freedom is a trust (amanah).
For Chinese-speaking Muslims and seekers, the project also has a mobile-friendly Chinese Quran section featuring translations by five different translators. This allows readers to compare wording, deepen their reflection (tadabbur), and choose the style that touches their heart the most.

This Chinese Quran site is especially valuable for new Muslims, students, and those living in environments where reliable Islamic literature is increasingly restricted or labeled as "illegal publications."
In an era where many mosques are being remodeled, many Islamic symbols are being erased from public life, and even printing a religious book can lead to prison, preserving our stories, our knowledge ('ilm), and our voices on the internet is a form of struggle (jihad) with the tongue and the pen. Salaamalykum.com is a humble effort to keep that spark alive, to connect Muslims in Mainland China with the wider global Ummah, and to invite non-Muslim friends to understand Islam beyond stereotypes and politics.
If you care about the Hui and other Muslims living in Mainland China, if you are willing to make Dua (prayer) for the oppressed, and if you believe that Islam is truly a mercy to the worlds (rahmatan lil-ʿalamin), then this is a resource worth following, sharing, and supporting.
We firmly believe that the technology used to spread the truth should belong to everyone, just like knowledge does. To ensure that Salaamalykum.com can serve the global Muslim community (Ummah) for a long time with purity and become a permanent charity (Sadaqah Jariyah) accepted by Allah ﷻ, this platform strictly follows these four core principles in its design and operation:
All the program code for this platform is public. We do not treat the code as private property; instead, we view it as a trust (Amanah).
- Transparent and Reliable: Anyone can check our code to make sure there are no backdoors and that personal privacy is not collected.
- Building Together: We welcome capable brothers and sisters worldwide to help improve the technology and use the best tools to spread the path of Allah.
- Open Source Link: https://github.com/salaamalykum/
To deal with information censorship and technical blocks, we use a decentralized approach:
- Permanent: Data and voices do not depend on a single server. This structure ensures that even under pressure, our data (voices and history) will not be easily erased.
- Belongs to the People: The platform is not controlled by any single center of power. It does not belong to any political party, any sect, or any individual. It truly belongs to every Muslim who takes part in it.
Accessing the truth and learning religious knowledge should not have a financial barrier.
- Free to Use: Whether reading articles, downloading documents, or using the Chinese Quran features, Salaamalykum.com is forever free for all users worldwide.
This platform is not for making money; it is for seeking the pleasure of Allah ﷻ.
- No Commercialization: We do not take any form of commercial funding, and we do not sell user data.
- Public Service: All operations of the platform are driven by volunteers and warm-hearted supporters. All efforts are made to fulfill the duty of protecting faith and cultural freedom.
