Wang Dai-yu is the famous scholar of China muslim and the important representational person in China Islamic philosophy, and the trailblazer for learning Islam in China, who systemically elaborates the Islam doxy and philosophy in Chinese and publishes translation of books in Chinese firstly. With Liu Zhi, Ma Zhu and Ma De-xin, they has been considered the most four eminent translator in Ming and Qing. From this, a unique characteristic China Islam ideology was born due to the hard work by Muslin of generations.This essay tries to analyse and clarify the philosophy of Wang Dai-yu on the horizon of Islam philosophy, especially the noumenon and attribute of Allah, Allah and cosmic and human, predetermination and freedom, er-tian-san-shi mind, cognitive ability and action of human. Wang Dai-yu believes that zhen-yi is the necessity tiptop noumennon, the origin of our world and the absolutely unique being. Zhen-yi derives world through himself on a course from stillness to movement, from hideness to appearance, from one to much. But Allah does not derive world firsthand. In fact, shu-yi engenders world as the representative of Allah. In virtue of the immanent movement of yuan-xun,dai-li,dai-shu, shu-yi finally becomes the corporeal and tangible being from incorporeal and nonfigurative spirit. Cosmic is born through it. Man is the noblest creature, and takes on the mission of returning to one. To reach it, man must pass three phases of zhi-ren,jian-ren,xu-ren , and go through congenital,acquired or previous life,present﹑afterlife﹑ So man not only reflects the absolutely predetermination of Allah, but also expresses the right of free choice of human self and the duty for choice.On the one hand, the philosophy of Wang Dai-yu riches the Islam philosophy by absorbing the useful part from Chinese traditional culture; the other hand, he enriches the Chinese traditional culture with Islam philosophy. Moreover, his philosophy offers a successful example for contemporary intercourse between China and Arabia, and the dialogue between different cultures.
