At that time history was recorded “every day” In that context, through the prism of historical events, the article shows the influence of Causevic upon the entire socio-political and cultural circumstances. It is certain that his influence was very strong. There are many confirming facts presented in the article. One of the most important facts is the way how he used to send messages to the society (population). Even though the media have not been developed well, number of information consumers was reduced. He used to use media very actively, but the best method of communication with the population was “mosque” - it was the shortest and the fastest way for his messages (a week) to get to the population of Bosnia and Herzegovina. On the cultural plan, using the strength (power) of his own authority, he did his best to eliminate stereotype from Bosniac Muslims about western culture and everything what is associated to it, even certain number of “ulama” was burdened by those stereotypes, what made their work more difficult. The facts presented in this article confirm that Causevic belongs to a group of outstanding persons of the newest (modern) history of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
