BOŠNJACI I HADISKA ZNANOST U OSMANSKOM PERIODU
THE BOSNIAKS AND HADITH STUDIES IN THE OTTOMAN PERIOD

Summary/Abstract: It is a rarity to find Islamic studies whose development and profiling was not significantly contributed by the Bosniaks. Even though scientific-research efforts of the Bosniaks in the field of Hadith seem an insignificant part of the entire scientific-theoretical experience of the Muslim world in general, it still represents significant contribution to that experience. This paper tries to enlighten the Bosniaks’ engagement in the field of Hadith and disciplines of Hadith in the Ottoman period. It proves that the Bosniaks, although a small ethnic group, were not lagging behind other peoples in the period of Ottoman rule, in terms of their interest for Islamic disciplines, particularly Hadith, its preservation and passing it on to generations that were to come.
