Exploring Islamic heritage of Mostar 🇧🇦 

5:16 during the Serbian aggression on Bosnia 614 mosques were destroyed. A total of 534 mosques in territories controlled by Serb forces were destroyed, while 80 mosques were destroyed in territories under Croat forces. On territory Under control of Bosnian Army no churches destroyed

I hope the da'wah in Slovakia goes well, Jan. All the hard work you put in won't go to waste, I promise. 🤲🙏🇸🇰🇸🇰

Mashallah, what a video. So much wisdom and knowledge in less than 30 minutes. You have explained in the best way how the Muslims live/should live in Europa. We Bosniaks are thankful bcs we have such a great religion like islam and have preserved it through centuries even we have been killed, tortured and expelled for that. Its a miracle of Allah that even in 2022 the muslims are majority in Bosnia after all that they must go through. By the way, more than 45% of people living in Mostar are Muslims. The east part of the city is almost completely muslim.

SubhanAllah, Bosnia is super beautiful. Thank you for sharing! Mash'Allah to you for planning to setup an Islamic organisation at your home, it is very admirable. May Allah make you successful with your efforts, Ameen!

That church tower you commented on was built so high not too long ago to spite the Bosniaks because Croats don't want any minaret to be taller than that tower. Also, the cross on that hill is a recent addition to spite the Muslim Bosniaks but most Bosniaks don't care about the cross and don't let them bother it. We are smart enough to realize both religions are part of our culture and our ancestors were Christian and Pagan before being Muslim.

Selam alejkum Jan ❤🇧🇦❤

i'm still continuing to follow your bosnia adventure without skipping a single advertisements

Thanks from Bangladesh.

Masha'Allah, I've always wanted to have a house in a location like that. Imagine what it was like when the owner used to live there. A quiet place in the mountains, next to a stream and waterfall.

الحمد لله رب العالمين على نعمة الإسلام

My surname is Cejvan,you have Cejvan Cehajina Mosque built in 1553 in Mostar 😀

*_Masha'Allah, beautiful scenery_*

What a beautiful place

love from India 🇮🇳 brother

Salaams-just stumbled on your channel 2 days before Ramadan. LOVED the inside of the home with the spacious living room with the beautiful views, sprawling couches & the Qur'an. A weekend in a room like that would be Jannah on Earth for me! May Allah bless you & your wife & may He bless your dawah efforts. You'll be in my prayers.

Salam Jan, thanks for covering the infos within the Balkans. I dont know whether we can have the expense to visit those beautiful lands🤲

Great journey to bosnia, nice country and respect them for holding their Islam against all odds.

Beautiful town. I see many people jumping from that bridge into the river. But I am guessing the water must be cold.

This is the first time I hear a place called Mostar🥺 Thank you for sharing this ❤️

Great tour of Beautiful Bosna, Brother Jan !

I wish to go there one day, SubahanAllah

What a beautiful scenery 👍

Islam is Quran and Mohammed a.s.

Interesting content bro. Keep it up 👍

Mashallah

Thanks for videos, you ate the best

Jan- when I see you I think of some of my friends who are born Muslims yet they go after haram and you former christian/atheist shine from noor reminds me of one ayah or hadith not sure which says "If you don't worhip Allah and go astray Allah will bring another people instead". It is coming true. Many born Muslims are going astray but alhamdullilah every year about 100 000 people from USA and UK conver to ISlam.

thank you for the informative vlog

Senang bertambah lagi saudara seiman

Alhamdulillah

God bless you 🙏

Beautiful place

"As above,So below" :)

I personally have a love hate relationship with dervishs and sufism. Form one side most great Muslim thinkers in my country were sufi and on the other side the reason Iran is in this situation today is because of sufism (calling upon the saints and blindly following the so called Devine authorities is just a few similarities between them which allowed safavids to convert Iran into shiaism). I get really confused at times, To define what it means to be a Persian Muslim I cannot ignore the past and start from the scratch at the same time I don't want to make the same mistakes my ancestors made so I don't really know how to approach building an identity. Even though I can't imagine the struggles you must be going through as it must be really hard to be the first person who is doing something but I see a great opportunity here You have the chance and freedom as the first of Slovak Muslims to define what it means to be a Slovak Muslim Even though that is a huge task I think you are more than capable of handling it. Our situation is so similar yet different at the same time and that's the beauty of Islam that it can bring brotherhood between people who are so different. I would like to ask you to keep me in your duas and I will inshaAllah do the same. May Allah (swt) help us all in achieving our goals.

Fantastic video keep it up your doing amazing job also since watching you i have learnt so much about Islam in the balkans and Europe

Barakallahu fiik.aamiin

Oh the dervish house is called „tekija“ btw 😄

Beautiful Bosnia

Islam zindabad

Wow Bosnia wooow

14:43 it shows different schools (I don’t know what it’s called). All I know is that my family are Nakshibendija and those hats are what each school wears.

I love you brother

❤

I was in Mostar once during summer. I don’t know how people can live there. I had to splash my body with water every 10 minutes 😂

Žiadam Allaha, aby vám dal silu a vôľu vytrvať a dosiahnuť všetko, čo ste si predstavovali Selam iz Bosne ⚜️🕌

Jan am converted to islam.. struggling alot to study islam and now am planning to come Europe as hijjara .. could you help me?

🌹🌹🌹🌹

Mostar is beautiful, ma shaa Allah.

Jan can you try to go Chechnya you will see a lot of sufism

Mostar's got really cool light "mediterranean" atmosphere as you named it despite not being even that close to Mediterranean coast, unfortunately during 90s war that city has seen some bad bombardment and solid amount of bad blood was created between otherwise very brotherly people that are now dividing the city up 50 / 50. The news in Bosnia lately covered Partisan graveyard being vandalized hardcore and blamed nationalists as per usual, which they are probably to blame too. Maybe another fun fact but Hercegovinians are seen as highlanders of dinaric karst lands and as good businessmen overall. As for the Sufism, Sufism as an science of soul type dimension of Islam has been tarnished with being linked to sects, factions and politics unfortunately, most people in west when they hear of Sufism they almost see it as Religion diff. from Islam cause it's been usually put in the candy basket of new age stuff, but among muslims of especially middle east descent, Sufism is seen as almost derogatory sect and big heresy on surface level. It's pretty sad cause Sunnis(but also shias) of sufi focus produced some massive cultural achievements for muslims (Masnavi for e.g.) and also many wisdoms that are very applicable for today, one of them being "we are all mirrors of each other" (which alludes to psychological human tendency to project inner stuff to others around him/her) or that the no1 enemy is within (rational human intellect - satanic part that directs human to do selfish stuff). P.S. The area at 8:06 is exceptionally beautiful to be in seems like, you gave me an idea what to visit already Alaykum Salam!

When you were in mostar?

Good video..the cotton sunhats are used in Islam with ties and also sunglasses 🕶️ are not for Islamic traditions..the fences and the walls at the bridges and lights must be seven feet tall... Thanks!

Do you come from a Bosnian background? Is that why you go there and also put up content about Bosnia? Southern Bosnia AKA Hercegovina is highly mixed with Croats, Serbs, and Bosniaks hence the high mixture of the churches, cathedrals, monasteries and mosques. They also have the old bridge which is a national landmark as well as a UNESCO world heritage site.

Sufism is not bad they do not get our sunnah they making digri we love our prophet daha peace be upon him

14:47🤍

The true Islam is only the Quraan and strictly authentic sunnahbwith with the understanding of the sahabas as they got their islam straight from the prophet peace be upon him. Tawheed is the backbone of Islam and any group or sect is a bid3a .

Why we Croats hate the Old Bridge... The Ottoman empire had a system called the blood tax.Every 7-10 years the Ottoman soldiers would come to your village and take your children away.Draft in the millitary for boys and slavery for girls.Parents were nit allowed to follow them but mothers did.Usuallly to the bridge.Once your child crossed the brigde you would never see your child again.That's why we Croats hate that bridge.Our late writer Ivo Andric even got the Nobel Prize for litterature in 1965 for his book "Na Drini Ćuprija".Christians hate all Ottoman bridges in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Jano nadhera.

Ottoman Architecture

I think slovokia have no moseq and not recognise muslim as religion.

If you only see Bosnia through the eyes of islam you dont understand Bosnia or its people. The beauty of the country is to look past such things and see humans. The people here culturally still practice the traditions of the old Bosnian church which is the earliest form of protestantism again which is to be free from oppression that includes religious oppression so dont come here acting like we are some type of religious government or some shit like that we want to be a modern liberal democracy which are vastly superior form of government, civilized, equal and more stable.

But if we talk really all madhabis is wrong because allah told us do not make sacts

Salam aleykum all balkans muslimins Its very beautifull country but practice of their islam is penetred by heretics tradtions bidah whos not founded in coran wa sunnah from Mohammed salala aleyhi wa salam...Allah hafehdk jan

Jan you are right Ottoman Turkish buildings and mosques are beautiful But I think in our history The muslim Mughal Turks Built the " Most beautiful building in the world, " Taj Mahal ". Please vist it in Agra city. 🇵🇰🇹🇷💚❤👍🏻

Come to Kuala Lumpur bro...A modern muslim majority nation which is always referred to as New York of Asia but very muslim friendly

Do you have Facebook or instagram

Mashallah

Mashallah
