Utjecaj Pendname u oblikovanju sufijske misli u BiH
The Impact of Pendnama in Shaping the Sufi Thought in BiH

Summary/Abstract: In addition to Rumi's Mesnevi, the Sufi thought in BiH was undoubtedly influenced by sheikh Attār's Pendnama. This influence was reflected through several segments: first, through the study of the Persian language, since Pendi Attār was part of the curriculum prior to and during the rule of Austria-Hungary; second, in non-institutional education, through house meetings, where Pendi Attār was treated as the initial didactic and ethical material, the first tasawwuf 'Ilm-i hal', on the path of Sufi education of the newly initiated spiritual travellers, helping them in the proper understanding of Mesnevi; and finally, throught he translation of Pendnama into the Bosnian Language, by hafez Mehmed Hulūsī Mulahalilović from 1904. The paper also observed this influence within the context of the spiritual bond between sheikh Attār and Mevlana. The paper wishes to demonstrate that for centuries, the Pendnama was an inextricable link in the spiritual development of the Bosnian intellectual milieu.
