Thanks to Ibrahim and Dawoud for making out a few lines that I couldn't.

Unfortunately there are still some untranslated parts, which could either be Arabic, Mandarin or Cantonese. If anyone with better ears/hardware/knowledge of Chinese than me can fill in the missing lines I would appreciate it a lot and credit you for your contributions.

Hui Muslims (the largest and most mainstream ethnic group of Muslims in China) commemorate the mawlid (birth of the Prophet Muhammad) with a hadra near the tomb of Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas, on Friday 10th February 2012. Sa'ad ibn Abi Waqqas was a beloved uncle of the Prophet who was purportedly the first to bring Islam to China in the 7th century. His tomb is located in the city of Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, China.

These Sufis are likely to either belong to the Naqshbandi Khufiyya or Naqshbandi Jahriyya tariqah (Sufi order).
