Ma Hama (馬哈麻) was a 14th-century Muslim astronomer in the early Ming dynasty of China. He was one of the three sons of the astronomer Madeluding (馬德魯丁), who was invited by the Hongwu Emperor (Zhu Yuanzhang) around 1369 to serve at the Muslim Bureau of Astronomy (回回司天監) in Nanjing. The family was granted the honorary title "Hall of Great Measurement" (大測堂). Ma Hama and his brother Ma Shayihei (馬沙亦黑) worked on astronomical observations and calendar reforms that integrated Islamic and Chinese methods.[1]
Ma Hama also contributed to the Huihui Lifa (Islamic calendar system) and the continuation of astronomical tables derived from the Yuan dynasty, helping to preserve Islamic astronomical methods within Chinese scholarship.[2]
