Summary/Abstract: After the Austro-Hungarian occupation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, in 1878, the legal position of Islam and Bosnian-Herzegovinian Muslims. as well as the organisation of Islamic Community and Waqf as a primary islamic institution have fundamentally changed. The data on the relation of the newly formed body of the Islamic community and waqf institutions in Bosnia and Herzegovina have been preserved in the Archive Fund of the Provincial Vakuf Commission (1890-1895), which was stored in the archive of the Gazi Husrev-bey’s Library in Sarajevo, after being arranged and processed. Among the preserved writings is the official correspondence of the Provincial Vakuf Commission (PVC) with the district waqf committees. Enclosed is the document from the official correspondence between the Provincial Vakuf Commission in Sarajevo and the District Waqf Committee in Gracanica, which refers to the Pasha-Zade waqf for maktab, from which it is clear that the district commissions should seek the approval of the National Commission as the state body for every business process in their work.
