Abstract
Chinese Muslim community play a role in the history of Islami- zation in Java, so it should be raised "Theory of China" in the history of the entry and development of Islam in the region. So far, the discussion of Islamization theory is always associated with the Middle East /Arab and India only- like pioneer of the theory of Arab/Middle East is Crawfurd, Keijzer, Naimann, de Hollander, including some Indonesia-Malay histo- rians like Hasjmi, al-Attas, Hamka, Djajadiningrat and Mukti Ali. While advocates of the India theory among others are Pijnapel, Hurgronje, Morison, Kern, Winsted, Fatimi, Vlekke, Gonda and Srhrieke. Almost no historians who argue explicitly that the Islamization in Java comes from China. Though both "Theory of India" and the Middle East, especially Saudi Hadramaut aren’t free of weaknesses.
