蒙古族穆斯林,主要居住在内蒙古阿拉善左旗东北部的罕乌拉、巴彦浩特等苏木和镇,人口有两千多人.他们的生产方式基本同于蒙古族,以放牧为主,但信仰伊斯兰教.他们参加喇嘛教的各种庙会、经会及祭敖包活动,但他们只承认是穆斯林.本文着重对蒙古族穆斯林的历史来源、伊斯兰教在阿拉善左旗蒙古族穆斯林中的传播与发展、民族认同进行探讨.

The Mongolian Muslims mainly living in the northeast of Alashan in Inner Mongolia Region are a unique ethnic group in China with a population of 2000. The locals call the Mongolian Muslims ＂Mongolian Hui Muslims＂ or ＂the Chinese Muslims＂. They use the same language and productive way as Mongolians but have faith in Islamism. They also join the Mongolian Lamaism activities such as temple fairs, scripts meeting and the memorial cairn activities. The unique group is part of Mongolians and shares the attributes of Chinese Muslims.
