• Summary/Abstract: Our first and most important task on earth, in this conceived existence, with matter and spirit side by side, is to awaken our heart. As we have already said, it starts with learning, good practices, and knowledge. But accompanied by fine upbringing, starting with the first year of life. Or even prenatally, during pregnancy. With nice behavior, calmness, nice words, patience and love that every mother feels carrying a living burden while bringing a human being into the world. This learning and embellishment with real knowledge/names lasts until the end of life and benefits us in both lives - in this world and in the hereafter - eternally. And after death. Certainly after death. Everyone who observed the seriously ill, dying people and looked death in the eye, who gassed up the corpses, wrapped them in white shrouds, or lowered those dead bodies into graves as eternal, but in fact, temporary habitats, is aware of this. That is why the experiences of religious practices and religious officials are immeasurable.Everything that current rational scientists, experts, scholars say is not important for our heart path. For our awareness and consciousness, that is, the conscience and character that will arise from it.

• Summary/Abstract: Ignoring thousands of years of human experience and wisdom in which the heart had a central physical and metaphysical place on the map of the human being, modern science, totally dependent on the tangible and measurable, until the 1960s, was impressed solely by these incredible physical performances of the heart. The heart was just a very powerful “pump”, an unusual muscle automaton that absolutely obeys the instructions coming from the brain.Although numerous Muslim scholars were precisely the forerunners of modern science and made a huge contribution to the medical understanding of the heart, such as Ibn Sina and Ibn el-Nefis, who in the 13th century were the first to describe the flow of blood between the heart and the lungs, in the Islamic worldview shaped by Qur’anic verses and according to the hadiths of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, the heart was never just a pump, but a unique organ in which the visible and invisible worlds meet and intertwine.

Edeb - etička imaginacija i sunnet poslanika Muhameda

Edeb - etička imaginacija i sunnet poslanika Muhameda

• Summary/Abstract: This paper analyzes the role of Sufi edep/adab (spiritual manners) in the ethical self-cultivation among a Naqshbandi Sufi Muslim group in Sarajevo, Bosnia-Herzegovina. It considers how an ethnographic focus on edeb/adab can help us understand Sufi spirituality as a form of everyday sociality on one hand and as a form of religious virtue and piety on the other. The ethnography highlights the importance of inculcating self-reflexivity in the pious and ethical self-cultivation as a way of attaining adab and thus piety as an everyday social. Instead of focusing on the exclusion of other Muslim selfhoods, the Naqshbandi Muslims analyzed in this paper turn to self-critique and self-improvement, a key method for spiritual refinement and a deeper relation to divine authority. Self-critique is a method which opens a path toward the proper internalization of the Prophet’s sunna, and it therefore constitutes a degree of hermeneutic practice. The essay argues for a greater ethnographic focus on how self-critique can be oriented toward the social and contribute toward formulations of ideas of tolerance and local forms of sociality. This makes adab‘good to think with’ both in tracing the intra-Muslim power dynamics, in exploring broader Sufi engagements as religious subjects who perform ethics in a secular world, and tensions between the subject and the social, together with the practices of dervishes (initiates) to individual and collective ends. Thus, the paper proposes that a religious agency in the present via the cultivation of adab can be used to interrogate the canon, in an ongoing process of ethical cultivation which places the accent of being Islamic on the ethical as a relational category (Zigon, The Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, 27(2), 384–401, 2021). Edep is an abstract noun in Turkish, drawn from the original Arabic adab. Though the preferred vocabulary of my interlocutors was edep as most scholarly literature uses adab, in this text, I use adab. The interchange between edep and adab is used only when I am quoting directly from my interlocutors.

• Summary/Abstract: I drafted this article in Sarajevo, BiH, even changed the main subject of my research on women and lived Islam because of these deeply personal experiences which affected me profoundly. Sometimes ignorance is a bliss and romanticization that Gade criticized (114) might have infected me as well before my arrival in Sarajevo. I didn’t know the extent of the air and natural resources pollution that BiH suffered from before spending some winter months and completing a few hikes in the divine nature. The proud consumption of meat and tobacco products deserves a separate essay of its own, or a chapter in my memoirs later in life. My research only scratched the surface of the problems that many Muslim-majority countries are going through regardless of what the history or the politics that caused them. I witnessed them in Turkiye (the country of my origin where I am still obliged to return for familial reasons) as well as BiH and Northern Cyprus for I lived in both countries, befriended generous people who welcomed me to their homes and shared personal stories. Once I witnessed and had been exposed to insider information about the severity of the pollution and how the authorities are not making nature preservation a priority, my heart sank more than once and I decided to contribute to knowledge-making about this burning issue. Gade gave examples of Green Ramadan or Green Hajj initiatives and fatwas to rectify environmentally unfriendly patterns of consumption by encouraging the pilgrims to reduce waste, consider more environmentally friendly products and services. The purpose is to encourage reflection on their lifestyle by invoking Islamic notions that are commonly found in relation to the environment. However, as Gade emphasizes: The ‘responsible’ environmental action takes in the insidious mazes of the structures of neoliberal capital such as by buying ‘green’ products within a system of commodity consumption, making it the consumers’ individual responsibility to perpetuate environmental action through ‘green living’. ‘Greening’ religion is thus seen as global initiatives (Muslim and non-Muslim) to ‘Islamize’ environmental efforts to global sustainable initiatives (Gade 2019, 47-48). On the other hand, Gade argues that within Muslim environmentalisms (her field work was in Indonesia), environmentalism is cast as a means to achieve religious ends. In other words, for some committed Muslims, environmental practice is a religious practice. This is not to say that environmentalism would be radicalized to the point of religious zeal, but “religious lifeworlds dictate environmental engagement so naturally that they blend into the ethical and pious practices of the everyday” (Gade 2019, 35). My confusion or critical thinking mind also poses the Indonesian religious scholar K.H. Thonthawi’s reversed question “what does environmental care do for religious reality?” from “what can religion do for an environmentalist cause?” (Gade 2019, 232). This indicates that eco-theologies should challenge Islamic theology and practice, as environmental challenges force humanity to seriously address underlying knowledge making and knowledge disseminations. Is it a matter of who controls and manages the dominant cultural narratives better? A critical awareness needs to be at bay regarding the asymmetry in how far and how loud some narratives are echoed in the Global North as mentioned in the Introduction of this article. Perspectives of environmental care and ethics could then provide profound contributions to religious reality or the other way around. I hope it brings to the reader’s mind Chittick’s discussion on the inseparability of all beings; but posing questions still remains easier than the possible answers that I humbly presented here. As for the use of Islamic Eschatology in promoting a nature-friendly or conservationist’s view, I also have conflicted feelings because my own family and friends’ circle prove that most people are not comfortable with death-talks as I am. In theory, linking Islamic Eschatology directly to environmentalism today should work. But in practice, even a well-argued talk or text might cause some irritation or disturbance, mixed with a fear of death itself as well as the fear of punishment for failing to practice and grasp the interconnectedness, falling prey to pride (assumption that humans are on top of the creation pyramid) and consumption (buying more than needed, wasting food and water among other faults). In fact, these or similar concerns might be lying beneath the surface of a more romanticized or heavily scientific tone in the discussions of Muslim environmentalisms. This article introduced the works of several contemporary scholars in the Humanities who chose to wear green lenses in their commentaries on the Quran and their fieldwork about Islam, its current failings in respecting, loving and thus preserving nature. It demonstrated the need for a paradigm shift in knowledge production in this area, decolonizing the Muslim subjects’ own thinking, and also (more specifically) the contingent and even ambivalent position of the human being based on the ayats from the Quran. It warned against the consequences of constructing nature as the other while drawing attention to the lack of links between the Islamic eschatology and the debates in regard to the anthropocenic narratives in the secular environmental humanities. I advocate for a nuanced and inclusive approach to exploring environmental themes and practices within Islamic teachings, challenging stereotypes and biases that may hinder progress in addressing environmental challenges from a religious perspective. The motivation to write it arose from my own sensitivity against nature destruction which was aggravated by my firsthand witnessing various and severe forms of pollution in Sarajevo in particular. This article is dedicated to the people of BiH who have loved, lived, and saved their lands to the best of their abilities.

Anthropology always entailed telling stories as a way of learning new insights about cultures, including one’s own. Climate catastrophe, however, sets up brand new challenges for the sciences of storytelling, such as broaching the subject of the Revelation.

• Keywords: Hajj; distance; body; collective piety;
• Summary/Abstract: In this paper, I am focusing on the Hajj as a form of the piety of traversing distance. While the Hajj has been a subject of scholarly and Sufi polemics and meaning-making processes, what is often left out are the mechanisms of continuity underpinning the vitality of the Hajj for each and every generation of believers. These mechanisms are embedded in the piety of distance, which is comprised of several elements: the centrality of the traveling body, the ambiguity of the pilgrimage as a moral category, and the responsibility towards other Muslims. Based on the examples from my book ‘’Bosnian Hajj Literature: Multiple Paths to the Holy’’ (Edinburgh: Edinburgh University Press, 2022) and other Hajj related publications, I show how Muslims, Bosniak, and non-Bosniak, both in the past and present, cultivated the piety of distance.

• Summary/Abstract: In this paper, I will reconstruct the life of a (un)ordinary woman, Fata (Fatima born Serdarević) Ljubović, who, according to the tradition of her great-grandchildren, experienced a revelation affirming her belonging to a group of ‘forty good ones,’. This story has recently resurfaced after a hundred years of complete obscurity. Drawing on a limited biographical details and oral traditions, her life will be examined within the historical and spiritual context of the time in which she lived. Through Fata’s example, which serves as a ‘case study,’ the paper will illustrate the concept of holiness associated with the ‘forty good ones’ based on interpretations from several sources that address this phenomenon, such as Ibn Arabi and Hujwiri. It will explore the role and significance of belonging to such a group. In conclusion, the paper will trace Fata Ljubović’s tradition and analyze her spiritual experience as reflected through the lens of the aforementioned interpretations.

• Summary/Abstract: This article examines the configuration of the demos of Bosnia and Herzegovina (understood in the modern sense of a sovereign political subject) from a historicist and political perspective, countering the idea of ethnic identification that is assumed to be inherent in today‘s institutional system - as formally modern, but in practice highly segregated - with elements of hermeneutics through different historical periods. A Sufi component is introduced as a notorious key to the construction of spaces for (co-)living in different periods, but especially in the post-war phase. It is presented here through four variables of analysis derived from academic literature, and the approach of qualitative methodology is separated from theology in order to to allow the case studied to be treated through the prism of the social sciences.

• Summary/Abstract: Tekkes represent a deep fusion of architecture and Sufism, where each structure bears the imprint of spiritual practice. Architecture serves as a bridge between the physical and spiritual worlds, allowing us to experience a connection with the divine. Sufism emphasizes inner enlightenment and closeness to God through the space of the tekke, which is both aesthetically appealing and deeply spiritually inspiring. Tekkes, with their unique L-shaped room arrangements, provide ideal environments for the spiritual growth of Sufi practitioners. These buildings functionally separate different activities, enabling both privacy and community. Symbolically, the L-shape reflects the Sufi spiritual journey and the hierarchical structure of the community. Over the centuries, tekkes have evolved by incorporating cultural influences while maintaining their connection to the spiritual values of Sufism. In Bosnia and Herzegovina, these structures are an important part of the cultural identity, integrating Ottoman and local elements. The location of tekkes is often in natural settings, emphasizing the connection with nature. Tekkes continue to play an important role in social and spiritual life, serving as places of spiritual gathering, education, and cultural exchange. Their architecture not only reminds us of the past but also inspires us to appreciate cultural heritage and nurture spiritual roots. In conclusion, tekkes in Bosnia and Herzegovina bear witness to a rich cultural heritage, creating spaces that bridge the physical and spiritual through symbolic elements and ecologically sustainable design.

• Summary/Abstract: Cultural heritage represents one of the most important components for defining the identity of individuals and communities. Respecting human differences and strengthening cultural diversity is what Islam recognizes and encourages. This article seeks to advance the understanding of the Islamic concept of cultural heritage. Although there is no clear reference to the concept of cultural heritage in Islamic teaching, the principles of protection of cultural heritage have, nevertheless, been established, and applied throughout the centuries. The Islamic tradition considers the preservation of antiquities of great spiritual or material value to be of public interest, and respecting them is the duty of every Muslim. Also, apart from the heritage created under its auspices, Islam accepts the cultural heritage of other nations and treats it as the cultural achievement of the entire human race. Such an attitude is based on the principles of Islam, which encourage respect for the religious and cultural diversity between different nations.

• Summary/Abstract: Working with young people is a multidisciplinary field, and it occupies the attention of various sciences such as pedagogy, education, psychology, and social work. Today, in the age of the crisis of authority, young people grow up exposed to various risk factors: inadequate family environment, economic crises, wars, transition processes, underdeveloped social capacities, general insecurity, corruption, consumerism, alienation, and loneliness. The family is facing a challenge. In Bosnia and Herzegovina, according to the 2013 population census, more than 90% of people identify themselves as religious. Sufi organizations, brotherhoods, and tariqats have existed in Bosnia and Herzegovina for centuries, since the arrival of Islam in these areas, which tells us that they are an important factor in building the tradition and religious identity of Bosnian Muslims - Bosniaks. These facts indicate that in working with young people we must investigate and take into account the role of religion as a social phenomenon, but also faith as a personal internal relationship with the world as a factor of resistance in facing life’s challenges. That was the reason that, as a student of social work, I did research for my master’s thesis on the topic: The influence of Sufi spirituality on the prevention of socially unacceptable behavior of young people. Sufi organizations (tariqats) have their own structure: theory, practice, hierarchy, organization. This means that we have a comprehensive approach to young men and this is an important assumption for prevention. The research included an interview with the leaders of the tekis, 6 questionnaires with 80 young members of the tariqat between the ages of 15 and 30, and 80 young people who are part of various NGOs and who declared that they do not practice any form of religiosity. The questionnaires were based on the measurement and recognition of: intrinsic/extrinsic moments, altruism, prosociality, aggressiveness, depressive and anxious moments, the second special questionnaire for young people in the tekke was intended to shed light on the relationship with the shaykh as an authority - educator and advisor.

• Summary/Abstract: Female leadership in Abrahamic religions has always been complex and multifaceted, as Christianity and other Abrahamic religions have a long history of patriarchal and societal structures. In the first years, women were followers of Jesus, took him as their mentor, and devoted their lives to his ministry and service. They, and Pheobe later on with Paul, displayed leadership, demonstrated hospitality, and shared their wealth with less fortunate ones, all in the name of their faith. Just as Jesus practiced mentoring after he asked his disciples to follow him in his mission, the Church is required to do the same and permit their male leaders to mentor those less experienced in order to bridge the gender gap and acquire future capable leaders in order to cater to their congregation’s needs. In the past 50 years, a higher presence of women leaders in the Church has been an essential step towards promoting gender equality and challenging patriarchal sociocultural traditions that are gender biased. This change was overdue for so long. Presently, there are many examples of women in leadership roles who, alongside influential scholars, are helping to advocate for gender equality and empowerment of women of faith (not only Christian women) within their respective communities. When doing so, they create a more inclusive and equal faith community for all. Better yet, an interfaith community where no women would be turned down to lead the congregation and where no congregants would be treated as second-class citizens due to their gender or ethnic background.

• Summary/Abstract: U 2025. godini, Historijski muzej Bosne i Hercegovine će obilježiti 80 godina od svog osnivanja. Tim povodom, važno je podsjetiti na osam decenija kontinuiranog djelovanja muzeja u različitim društveno-političkim kontekstima. Historijski muzej BiH prikuplja, čuva, istražuje, predstavlja i promovira kulturno-historijsko naslijeđe Bosne i Hercegovine. Od osnivanja 1945. godine do 1993. godine, muzej je bio tematski usmjeren na historiju Drugog svjetskog rata i izgradnju socijalističkih vrijednosti. Tokom tog perioda, naziv muzeja mijenjao se nekoliko puta, ali njegova misija ostala je nepromijenjena – uvijek je bio povezan sa zajednicom, djelujući kao važno mjesto pamćenja i društvenog dijaloga.
