Abstract: With the viewpoint of Spatial Dynamics and Dialectics, this article reexamines the female Muslim religious spaces in China. Through the Muslim women’s action and practice, Guangzhou’s Xiananian Mosque demonstrates different meaning of place. It is not only the sacred space defined by history as well as Quran and Islam classic texts, but also the daily living space where can be reproduce constantly by multiple practices of Muslim women. Effected by the cultural diversity in globalizing Guangzhou, the female Muslim immigrant groups at the Sage Mosque break the traditional patriarchal institutions and turn to the public religion activities to cognize Islam. The Muslim women’s self-learning about Islam and daily practices in Xianxian Mosque formed a more comprehensive and progressive religious concept which is beneficial to them to increase the level of ethnic identity simultaneously. Meanwhile, on one hand, the daily practice in the female Muslim religious space provides rich social capital for the female Muslim to integrate themselves into a new city. On the other hand, these practice enable a part of female Muslim to become participants in the globalization process. To some extent, both aspects contribute to the advancement of the social status of female Muslim Immigrant in the China’s big city.

摘要： 采用动态、辩证的观点对宗教空间进行了重新审视，通过女性穆斯林在广州先贤清真寺的空间实践，说明宗教空间不仅是被宗教经典和历史定义的神圣空间，也是穆斯林群体经由自身丰富的实践活动所不断进行意义再生产的日常生活空间。广州先贤清真寺的女性穆斯林移民群体在全球化的多元氛围中突破了原先家长制的宗教教育体制，转而从公共宗教生活中认知宗教，形成更加包容、进步的宗教观念，增加了自身的族群认同。另一方面，基于女性宗教空间开展的日常生活实践，则不仅为女性穆斯林群体融入新的城市生活提供了丰富的社会资本，更让一部分女性穆斯林成为全球贸易中的参与者。这些都有助于城市中女性穆斯林群体社会地位的提升。
