Summary/Abstract: As a contribution to the argument that teaching of Arabic language has its origin at the Faculty of Islamic studies in Sarajevo (integral part of its curriculum), the author reminds us of some fundamental determinants of the plan and programme of an educational institution Mactab-i Nuwwab (The Sharia School for Judges, Scherijatische Richter Schule), later developed into The Higher Islamic Sharia School (VIŠT)on foundations of which, for more than thirty years, as a result of a planned activity of the Islamic Community in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Faculty of the Islamic Studies is functioning. Studies of Arabic language are the bases for all the other Islamic studies as it is confirmed in the Article 2 of the Organisational Institute for The Sharia School for Judges wherein it is stated: “Applicants that would be enrolled in this educational institution, will be those who succeeded in the test for the Arabic language grammar and syntax.” This high education institution, of which the Faculty of the Islamic Studies is the successor, has produced graduates that were amongst the founders of the Oriental Philology Department of The Faculty of Philosophy in Sarajevo and the Oriental Institute.
