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 think there were a few but not sure. But yeah you're right.
I hope the da'wah in Slovakia goes well, Jan. All the hard work you put in won't go to waste, I promise. 🤲🙏🇸🇰🇸🇰
Thanks
Monster bulif by ottoman sultan ❤
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.
Thanks 😊
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!
Thanks
Long live Bosnia Muslim 🇧🇦❤️☪️☪️☪️☪️☪️☪️☪️☪️☪️☪️☪️
Monster build by ottoman not the crouts 🇧🇦❤️☪️
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.
Thanks from Bangladesh.
My surname is Cejvan,you have Cejvan Cehajina Mosque built in 1553 in Mostar 😀
Selam alejkum Jan ❤🇧🇦❤
i'm still continuing to follow your bosnia adventure without skipping a single advertisements
Thx
Me too without skipping advertisment
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.
Pretty cool stuff :)
الحمد لله رب العالمين على نعمة الإسلام
Beautiful town. I see many people jumping from that bridge into the river. But I am guessing the water must be cold.
Salam Jan, thanks for covering the infos within the Balkans. I dont know whether we can have the expense to visit those beautiful lands🤲
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.
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.
Thank you :)
May Allot SWT helping your da'wah in Slovakia...The weapon of Muslim is doing "DOA" as a Muslim brothers around the world. Best regards from Ummah in Indonesia. The largest Muslim countries in the world....🇮🇩 Allohu Akbar
What's Moslem? :) Say Muslim bro :)
*_Masha'Allah, beautiful scenery_*
MasyaAllah may Allah always guide you with your plan in Islam and with your own plan as a ummah and be a human being don't forget that ..Like Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him said ..Chasing dunya like you can life 1000 years and do and worship Allah like you can die tomorrow... I'm your new subscriber from Jakarta Indonesia...Allah bless you Jan...
Great journey to bosnia, nice country and respect them for holding their Islam against all odds.
love from India 🇮🇳 brother

Beautiful Bosnia 🌹
Assalamualaikum ..Masha Allah bro...
What a beautiful place
It is
Very beautiful video, bro Jan. Maa sha-Allah.
Alhamdulillah...Thanks for showing how Islam as rahmatan lil 'alamin...Great video. May Allah always bless you.
Mashallah
It is a beautiful place .Allah bless you brother
What a beautiful scenery 👍
Senang bertambah lagi saudara seiman
Thank you Akhi for making these videos. Great to see for travel research purposes as a Muslim
Haha no worries
This is the first time I hear a place called Mostar🥺
Thank you for sharing this ❤️
Sure
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.
Inshallah thank you for a great comment.
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 of sufi focus produced some massive cultural achievements for muslims 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).
@@LARESCIV that's cool
Same here, persian convrted from shiism to sunnibislam, I regret how our ancestors delved into sufism which became the foundation for shia mass conversion, and minority good sunnis were massacred by shah ismael.
I too have steuggled for a long time with identity issues but alhamdulleAllah I define myself as muslim first and last.
Europe is sick, we want to move but everywhere seems to have its own issues and problems.
I wish to go there one day, SubahanAllah
Inshallah
Alhamdulillah
Thanks for videos, you ate the best
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. 🇵🇰🇹🇷💚❤👍🏻
Great tour of Beautiful Bosna, Brother Jan !
Yes
thank you for the informative vlog

Interesting content bro. Keep it up 👍
Thx
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.
Haha
God bless you 🙏
Oh the dervish house is called „tekija“ btw 😄
Nice
Beautiful Bosnia

@Crusader’s tears are delicious lilium is used in history by bosnians, since the time it was a kingdom, it is part of our identity , it's on our flag
@@haringoth67 Thanks :)
@Crusader’s tears are delicious You are weird.
@Crusader’s tears are delicious because when bosnia was kingdom the king wasnt a muslim. His religion was special kind of christianity called Bosnian Church, but without trinity based on dualism or something like that. Actually catholics are allways starting wars against the king because of his faith and when Ottomans arrived people welcomed them as liberators. So they were easy to convince to get into islam because there is no taxes for muslims and religion beliefs were similar. Bosnian muslims now keep the historical tradition of their "kinda christian" heritage and use those symbols
Mostar is beautiful, ma shaa Allah.
I love you brother
:)
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!
Thanks :)
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 😂
thats why we have the neretva, the coldest river in the world. Runs through our city and we cool off in it, may Allah bless you
Jan can you try to go Chechnya you will see a lot of sufism
Haha it's in Russia so not for now
Hhh
🌹🌹🌹🌹
When you were in mostar?
in May
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.
I'm Slovak it's in the name of my channel :) I just go there since it's close to my country and there are Muslims. over there.
@@jantheslovakmuslim I see. Reason I asked is cause I’ve come across a few people who say they’re one thing because they’re born in that place but they’re family is from somewhere else. A lot of Bosnian people moved out of there during or shortly after the war(my family included). And when some of these people had children in other places the children say they’re “German” “American” “British” etc. so I thought that maybe you were a child who was born in Slovakia to Bosnian parents if that makes sense.
@@jantheslovakmuslim Kosovo and Albania also have a lot of Muslims. Macedonia does too.
@@medi8057 haha my whole channel is about being a convert to Islam with no background so unfortunately I don't any Muslim blood in my body from my ancestors : )
@@jantheslovakmuslim impressive of you to convert on your own. Especially knowing the rest of your family and friends are taking a different route in life. I give you mad props for that. Not a lot of people can accomplish such thing. Even though it may look small to some, it’s definitely a huge thing to leave the beliefs you’ve been born into and start over new elsewhere especially in a religion that is hated and demonized by all of the western society. Sorry I haven’t had time to go through all your videos. I’ve only seen a couple including this one on Bosnia. But I will watch your other ones when I get some time
Sufism is not bad they do not get our sunnah they making digri we love our prophet daha peace be upon him
No worries
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!
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.

I think slovokia have no moseq and not recognise muslim as religion.
But if we talk really all madhabis is wrong because allah told us do not make sacts
Madhabs existing is ok but problem is when muslims takes his primary identity from madhab and not from holy Quran/Sunnah. Something similar when you have people identifying with sheikhs they adore more than with Islam itself.
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
Ok I know that's not the point of this video
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.
I'm a Muslim and this channel is about Islam so of course my videos will be about Islam. Since when are liberal democracies civilized or equal? :)
This must be one of the most empty-headed comments I have ever read. Your democracy will get you in another much bigger war in Bosnia.
Come to Kuala Lumpur bro...A modern muslim majority nation which is always referred to as New York of Asia but very muslim friendly
