EMPEROR ZHU YUANZHANG :
(MING DYNASTY)

The Hongwu Emperor;
(21 October 1328 - 24 June 1398),
personal name Zhu Yuanzhang
(Chinese: 朱元璋; Wade-Giles:
Chu Yuan-chang), was the founding emperor of the Ming dynasty, reigned from 1368 to 1398. Died on 24 June 1398 (aged 69) at Jingshi, Ming dynasty (present-day Nanjing, Jiangsu).

Here is the famous written work of Hongwu Emperor, also known as Zhu Yuanzhang, the first emperor of the most advanced and illustrious Chinese Empire, the Ming Dynasty.
What many people may not know is that the Hongwu Emperor personally wrote a poem (puisi) by himself, in old Chinese calligraphic writing, a poem called the "Hundred-Word Eulogy", which was dedicated to Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.
It was about Islam, but it wasn't written in Arabic calligraphy.
He outlined the beauty and praises of Islam's Prophet ﷺ, written in Chinese calligraphy.
Copies of the Hundred-Word Eulogy are found in most mosques throughout China until today, still written in Chinese calligraphy.
English translation of the eulogy reads :-
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Since the creation of the universe,
ALLAH had already appointed his great faith-preaching man,
From the West he was born,
And received the holy scripture,
And book made of 30 parts (Juz),
To guide all creations,
Master of all rulers,
Leader of the holy ones,
With support from the Heavens,
To protect his nation,
With five daily prayers,
Silently praying for peace,
His heart directed towards ALLAH,
Giving power to the poor,
Saving them from calamity,
Seeing through the Unseen,
Pulling the souls and the spirits away from all wrongdoings,
Mercy to the world,
Transversing the ancient, Majestic path,
vanquishing away all evil,
His religion, Qing Zhen
(the name for Islam in chinese especially at that time),
Which literally means Pure and True,
Muhammad (ﷺ),
The Noble Great One."

- A small thought from the Founder of IDRISSI International School.

Puisi “SERATUS PUJIAN”
Maharaja Zhu Yuanzhang bukan sahaja melayan Islam dengan baik, malah telah menulis satu eulogi, atau puisi peringatan, untuk Nabi Muhammad ﷺ yang berbunyi (diterjemah):
"Sejak terciptanya 'alam ini,
ALLAH telah mengangkat seorang Rasul Mulia menyampaikan Iman, Dari barat dia dilahirkan, Dan Baginda menerima Wahyu Agung, Buku yang mengandungi 30 bahagian, Untuk membimbing semua makhluk, Tuan kepada segala raja, Pemimpin semua yang suci, Dengan bimbingan dari 'Arasy, Untuk melindungi negaranya, Bersama dengan solat 5 waktu, Berdoa dalam sepi mengharap Rahmat (Keamanan), Hatinya lurus kerana Allah, Mengangkat martabat si miskin, Menyelamatkan mereka dari sengsara, Melihat ke dalam keghaiban,  Membimbing jiwa dan roh dari berbuat kebinasaan, Rahmat kepada sekalian alam, Menyelusuri rahsia silam, memadamkan segala kejahatan, Agamanya Qing Zhen (gelaran bagi agama Islam pada ketika itu), Yang bermakna Suci dan Benar, Muhammad (ﷺ), Yang Mulia lagi Terhebat".
