Summary/Abstract: The relationship between tradition and modernism is the most important question that Muslim scholars ever faced. Muslim modernism should be understood as a response to the encounter of the lethargic Dar ul-Islam (World of Islam) with the powerful Western world. Bosnian Muslims represent the special case in this regard. Intellectuals were polarized between those who wanted to freeze the present situation and modernists, who were clear that remaining introvert is conceptually untenable and, as such, a clear sign of intellectual inferiority. Husein Dozo is the most prominent representative of the Muslim modernism movement in the latter half of the 20th century.
