MAKTAB CLASS IN TIME AND ITS REFLECTION UPON THE SOCIAL LIFE

Summary/Abstract: The intent of this article is to analyse the significance of the maktab class and its impact on students and its reflections upon society. In the initial part of the article, we bring some light on the sources of Islam (the Qur’an and the Sunnah) and the tradition of Bosniak Muslims wherein we find the bases for the establishment of the maktab class. Further on we discuss here the main characteristics of the maktab class and its reflections on social life keeping in mind that the maktab class teachings contribute in the preservation of the identity, faith, and family values of Bosniak Muslims. Regarding the issue of the relation between maktab class and the religious studies class, the article points out the similarities between the two stressing the fact that they complement each other. Finally, we conclude by pointing out the significance of the maktab class and the importance of continued work in the field of improving the maktab class in order to be ready to take on the challenge of the requirements of the time and to be able to increase the number of students attending the maktab classes.
