SEPARATION OF ALBANIA FROM OTTOMAN CALIPHATE AND ENDEVORS MADE FOR AUTOCEPHALY OF ALBANIAN MOSQUE

Summary/Abstract: Separation of Albania from Ottoman Caliphate and endeavors made for autocephaly of Albanian Mosque started since Albania’s dec-laration of independence and its separation from Ottoman Empire, by appointing as general prime mufti Haxhi Vehbi Dibra. However, after this date, at least officially, Islamic community continued to be part of this religious institution. Nevertheless when we analyze the path follo-wed for realization of independency process of Albanian Muslim Community, we should highlight that after 1912 it didn’t have any official contact with Caliphate. In Albanian Muslim Community’s fund which is in Central State Archive, at least by now, there isn’t found even a single document to testify links with Shehul Islami in Istanbul.
