KIŠA U KULTURI BOŠNJAKA
RAIN IN THE CULTURE OF BOSNIACS

Summary/Abstract: It is especially interesting to note the wealth of reflections in the Bosniac culture made by the Qur’anic tales about rain, which Allah sends down, and about meanings of springs, rivers and seas, both in this and in the future life. The inhabitants of Bosnia have, even before Islam, both spiritually and existentially been reliant on the God’s mercy, which He gives to the mankind through rain as well as on the earth, which, thanks to that rain, produces fruits. According to Dr. Enes Karic, nature, through water, enters culture, while, at the same time, culture, through our living with water, enters nature. According to this rule, we can say that Bosniacs have, especially after Islam, through this relationship with water, as one of the oldest forms of human culture, very early entered culture with supremacy, in terms of the narrow European cultural horizons of that time.
