- 1943, Tan Malaka, Madilog:
  Lebih kental susunannya, lebih pasti kediamannya dan lebih mendalam kepercayaannya, tetapi paling tiada dikenal didunia luar diantara 3 agama yang masuk ke Tiongkok itu, ialah agama Islam.
  The more acquainted the arrangement it has, the more certain the residence it has, and the deeper the belief it has. Yet, the least known in the outside world among the three religions that entered China, is the religion Islam.
