"Cheng Ho and Islam in Southeast Asia" by Tan Ta Sen is a scholarly yet accessible exploration of the voyages of Admiral Cheng Ho (Zheng He), a Muslim Chinese eunuch who led seven maritime expeditions during the Ming Dynasty in the 15th century. While traditionally celebrated for his role in expanding Chinese diplomatic and commercial influence, this book reframes Cheng Ho’s legacy by emphasizing his Islamic identity and the significant role his voyages played in the spread and consolidation of Islam in Southeast Asia.
Tan Ta Sen argues that Cheng Ho’s missions were not merely political or economic endeavors, but also religiously and culturally influential. The book examines the integration of Muslim Chinese communities in port cities such as Malacca, Palembang, and Java, showing how Cheng Ho’s presence facilitated cultural exchange, the establishment of mosques, and long-lasting Islamic institutions.
