The Ming dynasty issued edicts of toleration for Islam and Judaism after the Mongols were overthrown. Since this thread is not about Jews, I won't post the information about the Jewish stele, maybe on another thread. But note this was around 100 years before King Ferdinand and Isabella banned Muslims and Jews from Spain.

The first Ming Emperor is said to have written this eulogy on Islam and the Prophet Muhammad, there are several copies in Mosques in China like in Nanjing. Whether its real or not, its still a masterpiece of literature. Its made out of exactly one hundred characters with four characters for each verse.

CHINESE-IRANIAN RELATIONS viii. Persian Lang. ? Encyclopaedia Iranica
Under the Ming dynasty (1368-1644) the Si-yi-guan (Office for the four barbarian [nations]) was established to provide official translations and to train translators; Persian was apparently required only occasionally for translation of books and diplomatic documents. The first Ming emperor, Tai-zu (r. 1368-97), ordered a group headed by Ma-sha-yi-hei (probably Maāyeḵ, from Shaikh) to trans*late several Persian books, including one on astronomy, into Chinese as Tian-wen-jin, and in 1407 Ming Cheng-zu (r. 1403-25) issued an edict in Chinese, Mongolian, and Persian for the protection of Islamic minorities.
