Kadija Hadži Hafiz Hasan Tahsin ef. Hadžiefendić – Hadžikadija
Judge Hadži Hafiz Hasan Tahsin ef. Hadžiefendić – Hadžikadija

Summary/Abstract: During the war in 1994., in the Gračanica newspaper „Biljeg vremena“, professor Tajib Nurikić from Gračanica published four very interesting, extensive articles, dedicated to four prominent Gračanica scholars, about whom almost nothing was known in the local community. The articles were centered on Hadži Hasan ef. Hadžiefendić, hafiz Ibrahim ef. Mehinagić, muderis Teufik ef. Okić, as well as his son, Muhamed Tajib Okić. In memory of Taib Nurikić, who recently passed away, one of the true enthusiasts and lovers of the past of Gračanica and the surrounding area, but also a long-time friend of our magazine – we are publishing one of the aforementioned articles, the one about Hadži Hasan ef. Hadžiefendić, also known as Hadžikadija, the supreme sharia judge, as well as a candidate for the position of reisu-l-ulema, a man whose grave is in place of honor, in front of the entrance to the white mosque. Until the publication of this paper, very little was known about Hadžikadija. There was only one published article – an obituary written by Edhem Mulabdić almost two decades after Hadžikadija passed away, published in the „Narodna uzdanica“ calendar of 1944. However, Hadžikadija is almost forgotten in Gračanica, even among the older generation. The article by professor Tajib Nurikić, published in „Biljeg Vremena“ (Year I, no. 10, February 1994, p. 17 and, no. 11, March 1994, p. 17) can therefore be considered a pioneering biographical work about this famous Gračanica citizen. Therefore we present the article in its original form, as it was published; only correcting a few typographical errors.
