In the first episode of "Allah in Europe", Jan Leyers begins his journey in Bosnia. He visits the capital of Sarajevo where he gets a shave by a female barber. This first impression of the rather modern Islam of Bosnian Muslims is confirmed by the sisters Emina and Nermina Hodžić, two successful fashion designers. They believe their city to be very open and tolerant.
But this was not always the case. Bosnia's history is overshadowed by the war between Serbs, Croats and Bosniaks in the early 1990s. The memory and grief are still very present and tangible. Jan travels to Srebrenica, the site of the genocide in 1995. Ahmed Hrustanović lost his father, uncles and grandfathers. Together they visit the grave of his father in the cemetery of Potočari.
Back in Sarajevo, Jan meets with Damir. The entrepreneur used to live in the USA, but returned to his home town where he feels that Islam is purer and stronger. He introduces Jan to a mystical Sufi Order in Sarajevo.

What is the future of Islam in Europe? How hopeful can we be on an European, enlightened version of Islam? Is that something Muslims themselves actually want? And will it be possible to overcome the Europeans’ distrust of Islam?
Jan Leyers goes in search of answers. He heads off to Sarajevo, Budapest, Vienna, Hamburg, Paris, London, Copenhagen and Malmö. He listens to the voice of experts and the word on the street and talks with religious men and women, with ex-believers and new converts. What do they hope for and what are their concerns? In this series, Jan stays true to his style: nuanced and respectful, without shying away from controversy.

As an Italian Muslim revert , Bosnian people is one of the reasons that made me see the beauty of Islam and had so much impact on my heart, Alhamdulillah

I love Bosnians so much they are such great people ,all respect from egypt 🇧🇦🇪🇬

The perfect knock, clap for the answer of this man. Really impressed with his answer, " It's not European Islam, it's Islam in Europe"
I totally agree with his point of view.
Agree..wise man,educated, who knows his religion well. I like his last statement..
Alhamdulillah, Islam ressurects from ashes
haha i see you have never been in bosnia
What you are saying is islamically right. However, for an outsider and even for vast majority Muslims, there are huge differances in the way Islam is practiced culturally, from saudi, pakistan, iran, indonesia etc and each of them believe their mode is correct. Islam is a broad set of principles. within these broad principles, living islam can be differant based on time and place. Islam does not envisage a world where everyone dresses like arabs , speaks arabic and looks the same. Quran says that Allah created differant groups/tribes , so that they identify each other.So, diversity is a design of Allah to be preserved. Diversity in practice is inherent. Only need an open mind.
I hope european muslims create a dynamic living Islam, as it was practiced by prophet and early muslims, rather than the asian fossilized static interpretations of Islam. Throw away a lot of unnecessary books written centuries later which has taken precedence over Quran.
Proud to be from Bosnian origin alhmuidlllah 🇧🇦🇧🇦🇧🇦

This is very interesting... During the 90’s, used to see the ethnic cleansing, as it was called on TV... Saw how villages were being wiped out, leaving families fatherless... Very hurtful... With CZcams, you can see the world & it’s history...
I met a few white Muslims about 30 years ago, never knew Muslims were white... Interesting world...
Clinton was President at that time, I would hear him say, “Not on my watch, I will stop this”, & he did...A statue was built there honoring him...
You people endure a great deal of suffering, hurtful history
love Bosnia and may Allah bless you 🤲🏽

■ A few years later
The Gulf paid billions of dollars to bring down the Lebanese Hezbollah.
■ Three quarters of Lebanon became an ally of Iran.
■ And pushed the Gulf billions to overthrow Erdogan
■ Turkey became an ally of Iran.
■ And pushed the Gulf billions again to plot on Qatar
■ And forced Qatar the rapprochement with Iran
■ The Gulf paid billions to drop the supporters of God in Yemen
■ Three quarters of Yemen became an ally of Iran
■ The Gulf paid billions to America to drop the agreement on the Iranian nuclear file ■ European countries became an ally of Iran

Why do you wish for muslim protection in Bosnia instead of wishing for peace and protection of all three peoples in Bosnia?
This way of thinking is why many Westerners do not trust Islam.
@@ems7623 because in this case the Bosnian muslims were slaughtered and the genocide was done against them and not the other way around. Of course you wish everyone peace and quiet, but unfortunately you really have to be able to differentiate between perpetrator and victim.
@@ems7623 only for muslims. Sory for croats and serbs🤣🤣🤣🤣 . Killer

Still people kill innocent non muslims around the world,bcz after every 2 days Islam gets into danger by them 😂
as a born Christian I love the Bosnian Muslims. I respect them so much and they have shown me so much kindness. I will return to Bosnia to pay respects to my friends. I hold them and a Islam in high regards. this is a great documentary . thank you 🙏🏼
How can you hold Islam in high regard when Islam is Satan worship.
Allah in the Quran calls himself a DECEIVER.
Islam has done nothing good.
Albania, Bosnian, Pomaks and Kosovan are European they just like others European in culture, Christian or Muslim they re not the same like Muslim in Middle East, European native Muslim and Malaysia-Indonesia muslim are different from Muslim of Middle East-North Africa, Sahel, Comoros, Pakistan-Afghanistan, Maldives and Bangaldesh.

But what did Turkish did when Bosnian were massacred..?... European were watching and withdrew their so-called UN peacekeeping forces ,especially Dutch, & British.. the bastards.... Thanks to Pakistani peacekeeping forces who saved Bosnian later on ,and would give their half of food to the survivors they would get from the mess.

@@fernandomilicich8160 that's wrong! We are first people in the Balkans! We are Illyrian tribe!! Later in 7 century slavic came to the Balkan... we Bošnjak and Albanian people are one of the oldest people in Europe...
I like the bosnians they are like brothers for me, i'm austrian, we protected them during the jugoslavia war in austria as refugees, were always connected through the austrian-hungarian Empire and our king karl. We respect them they fought for austria in World War 1, we will never forget their courage! altough we are christians they are muslims, but i consider them my and our brothers! Bosnians will always be welcomed in Austria.
You didn't support them in Austro-Hungarian time, but you occupied them, and told them that their Serbian neighbors are their enemies while they were watching you killing them in significant percentage of 30%!!!
Brother , l like you ,, because allah blessed you by a merciful heart ,,, insha allah ,, allah will showing you right way to reach the God ,,,, I wii pray you ,,,, lam from india
bosnians are not muslims, they are also christians (bosnian Serbs and Croats) and bosnian Bosniaks are muslims.
Whatever the religion we are all brothers
In Austro-Hungarian time Bosnia saw a major prosperity,if a were were alive in that time i would fought for KuK monarchy.
This is how a documentary should be made. This is excellent. Pure storytelling, no unnecessary commentary or dramatic music... Just beautifully authentic filming and interviewing.Congrats to Jan Leyerswe from Azerbayjan
This is all fake propaganda against Serbs . All 3000 killed were terrorists who died in war while trying to escape to Tuzla with weapons in hands AFTER KILLING OF 3283 Serbs in genocide in Srebrenica , Bratunac and Gorazde .
Just like indian hindu and Sikh did in Muslim 1947 created Pakistan ❤️🇵🇰
Jan Leyerswe does an impeccable job.
33:31 100% on point! 👌 The best part of this documentary: "There is no European Islam. There is Islam in Europe" 😃
@Yahya Zolfiqar I think we're on the same page for the most of it. Of course it is ok to keep your culture as long as it doesn't go against Quran and Sunnah.
However once cultural practices that contradict Islam(like the "relaxed version" mentioned in the documentary) are added to Islam, it becomes a problem.
Oh yes, there is an European Islam and Muslim European : in Balkan. Don't try to make you closer to us than you are. You are not European, So just accept what you are. And finaly do even not come in Balkan, We don't need you.
@Rezo Kakar What do you mean ?
@mushfique hassan Half muslim, half christian, but european (balkan). Just very unhappy what's occuring in europa those last years about non european islam. We (european) are not better than the other. Very not. Just look what those stupids west-european done those last century (u.k; france; portugal; spain; belgium; u.s.....) through the world.
I m not with them. Not at all. I m just very unhappy. I don't know you. You are certainly a good and cool guy. And maybe , one day you'll come in balkan and apreciate us. And sorry if i offended you. I wish you all the best. And may Allah, God be with you, with us.
@@abubakr380 I respectfully disagree .Islam in Europe is positioned for a more progressive form of Islam for the 21st century.We are here to transform Islam . We are here to challenge the conservatism and paternalism that are at the core of our societies . Islam is positioned to change things from within inshallah.

Why do you call yourself a Turk from Bulgaria? And not a Bulgarian of Turkish roots? Disrespectful to the country you live in.

There is something so noble in my Bosniak people, so peaceful and civilized (be it irreligious or religious Bosniaks) that you cant really find in other parts of this world especially Balkans. Others cant understand this, they have to feel it. When it comes to Balkans our mentality is on another level ⚜️👑

Greetings to Muslim brothers in Bosnia from Yogyakarta, Indonesia. May your country always be peaceful and progress. I like the practice of the Sufis such as wirid or tarekat.
I can feel the emotion of the Lady when she said this is European Jerusalem.
Of all the series I find this episode most interesting . Muslims in Bosnia seem to be much more advanced than the Muslims settled in rest of Europe. They speak perfect English and highly advanced community but suffered most in the break up of Yugoslavia. Now I decided to visit Bosnia after the COVID 19 . I am not a Muslim but pray to God to bless this community who paid a heavy price
Nice words. Bosnia is truly unique, that's why every generation has fought for it. Make sure to visit the rainforrest, perucica, which is the only in Euopre. Also places like Mostar, Jajce and Blagaj should be high on the list. You will enjoy it a lot.

Thank you my friend . I will definitely make it .

Please see UK episode and some of West European episodes
@Alp Arslan Come back to me when you can. it is not arrogance, it is a sort of fact because good Muslims (majority are ) do not control minority Muslims with extreme radical views .
@@bsugavanamunited Thanks for nice words for bosniaks(muslim).We have many of our people all around the World.We have one bosniak(Muhamed Mesic)that speaks more than 70 foreign languages.He is profesor in Austria.We have bosniak women as ministry of justice in Austria.One of the main ingenieur in Boing is bosniak.We have in Microsoft our people;in Sweden goverment.We have a bosniak in Joe Biden Team.We have many successefull people in the world and we are one the best adapt ethnic group in other country(west Europe;USA;Canada;Australia)
It really moved me when the imam said Europe doesn’t want me as Muslim why
Love will win in the end always
As a Turk, I believe my origins are in the Balkans. I feel very close to the Balkans. Unfortunately I could never go abroad.But one day I'll definitely come there. I wish Allah mercy on those who died in this massacre. It was very interesting that when I think of Turk in the Balkans, immediately think of Muslims.
You are welcome brother! But you have to go to Novi Pazar, too! This town is in Sancak, Serbia! It is small Istanbul with nice people and very good food!

@Alladeen Mdfkr I totally agree with you but hey let them cus at the end ill still be proud Kurd till I die. and all Muslims should not forget ::: Salah ad-Din or Saladin, was a Kurdish military leader and the founder of the Ayyubid dynasty and the first ruler to be called the Custodian of the Two Holy and was the first sultan of Egypt and Syria and founder of the Ayyubid dynasty. A Sunni Muslim and ethnic Kurd, Saladin led the Muslim military campaign against the Crusader states in the Levant..
Kurds are also nice people, with beautiful men and women. Even, I heard that in Turkey they are better people than Turks. Also it is a fact that many Turks have pure kurdish heritage, just Turkey as country has more of kurdish oriental culture than origin turkic. I used to listen kurdish music before. We are aware of that among Kurds are good and bad people like in every other nation so we don't have bad opinion about Kurds.

Yes, it was really sad for me. I was in middle school in that year. I love Bosnia and hope can visit it sometime.
I'm malaysian. I was so sad watching this video as though I was there at the moment. I was 33 in 1994. I was really disturbed the way bosnians were treated by the united nation. A nation without army were attacked ruthlessly by srebenica and their counter parts. I'm glad bosnia is still exist now.
All nations need an army, thanks to homsapiens

Proud of my country Bosnia and Herzegovina bless ALL people that are living there
This is actually very interesting. I'm a Bosnian who lived in Bosnia most of my life and it's the first time I ever see anything of this sort, that is, from the Sufi perspective and how they do what they do. I'm a Sunni Muslim, and as far as I'm aware, most of us are. I'm glad I got to see this part of my country I never saw before.
When I worked as tourist guide for city of Sarajevo ,some 44 years ago , at the classes about history of the city we where briefly informed about Sufis / dervishes and some Sufi places / tekije in the city , but we never actually visited or attended sufi gathering and Zikr .I only felt that this places are very secret mystic places , I never dreamt that one day in future will be open for my own heart .I was not brought up in any religion .
I heard one time from my maternal grandmother that her father was Sufi sheikh in period before First World War .She mentioned “ his dervishes would visit him and stay all night in the tekke , she was very small but she remembered sound of HU resonating trough the night “, she was only 6 years old when her Sheikh father passed away , even if I asked she could not share anything more about this “ strange “ sound of Hu and this spiritual practices .
Some decades later , trough internet i was guided to some website about Sufis here in this country where I’m now .
I saw it and kept visiting even I could not understand entire text in English, was not interested in religion or spiritual path except as only interesting information , my family is mix family and I did not have any plans to become Sufi / dervish .But something was pulling me to keep visiting that website .
Than some chain of events brought me to place of Sufi gathering and my first taste of beauty of the zikrullah …this was 20 years ago .
Damir is right in his statement “ who ever taste zikrullah is always longing for it “ .( as the words of one Ilahi says “who ever taste love , will never be the same “).
I feel so blessed for being invited to the Sufi path .
If you decided to take a deeper look in the history of Sarajevo , you will be surprised by the number of Sufi places of gatherings - tekije in Sarajevo throughout past centuries .You will discover very rich treasure of Sufi path in Sarajevo and Bosnia .Inshallah
@@fatimakratohvil6904 indeed it was the sufi sheikhs and dervishs who brought Islam to the Bosnian people. Many people in our country forget that the first thing the Turks build wasn’t a mosque but it was a tekija where the wise and educated could meet. They are the spirit of Islam and they’re the reason it held up so long.
Kako ba nisi naucijo u historiji?😂
The title of this series should have been "Islam in Europe", instead of 'Allah in Europe' . It really fascinates me to learn how Muslims around the world live - their life, dreams & aspirations, sorrows & pain, culture & heritage ..... This series gives crystal clear pictures of all that of my queries. I am sure you will get the knowledge and insight about various facets of Islam on actual practice by the European Muslims in the present context of time , all the while enjoying the series thoroughly.

Allah bless Bosnia. Allah reward Jan Leyers for his open heart and mind. Beautiful content.
I'm deeply saddened by the recounts of every Bosnian man and woman in this video who'd lost their loved ones from the tragedy of the war. Pray that may Allah ease their pain and grant Jannatul-Firdaus to those who'd lost their lives from this war 🤲.
My late father was with the UN peacekeepers in Bosnia back in the days....I really hope i could visit Sarajevo one day and recite the alfatihah in the cemetry of the fallen. Lot's of love from Malaysia. May Bosnians always be blessed and stay in the path of the righteous.
Long live Bosnian.... May God protect you all.

I agree. Please stay like that. They are european. They tradition is european. They don't need act like arabs, pakistani, etc. They don't need dressing like muslim immigrants. The immigrant muslims also have tradition. And it was they tradition. Islam don't have spesific culture. Islam is Islam. People free to choose they style as long still in islamic way.
Do you visited pakistan most girls don't wear hijab or burka they wear indian dresse their culture is indian

If bosnian who are ethnically european white but got nearly wiped out for just being muslim, imagine what US army,NATO do to other muslims from another ethnic background, bosnian should rediscover their religious identity and practice it, because it is through this that Croatian and Serbian fear the most
Bosnian muslims are Serbs,all of them!
Bosnian people werent muslim until mid XIV century, a lot of them converted to save their families amd stuff like that
@Lily Valac Turks are asiatic people,they are not white,except for 3-4 milion people of Slavic Serbian origin called "JANICARI".Serbs are white european people light skin ,light eyes .Serbs are autochthonous people of Balkan peninsula!
16:36 I couldn't hold back my tears. May Allah bless him
same for me.. i was close but seeing him run to the mosque to not be late was too much for me. May Allah grant him the highest ranks in Jannah, for what he went through.
Awful how they can do this to the best of people.
Story this srebrenica imam make my eyes get damp...very strong stories...
Love Bosnia from Somalia 🇸🇴🇧🇦❤️
Ohh brother, Bosnia loves our Somali brothers and sisters.
Much love and salam from Bosnia 🇧🇦❤️🇸🇴
Somalis and Chechen have a special place in my heart, we were bleeding together in the 90s
Me too we have friends in Sweden we love 🙏❤💖💯
May Allah unit all the Muslims into one united ummah. May the ummah of prophet Mohammed, pbuh, stand behind him on judgement day and follow him into Paradise. Oh Allah stop the genocide of our brothers and sisters in all parts of the world. Ameen.
I just watched the whole 8 serie and I just want to thank the journalist Jan for this amazing work he did. An overlook to islam in Europe that just blowed my mind in understanding. I wish my country Italy needs to watch this series so baldi. Italian people and politicians are just so provincial! Have no idea about islam today in Europe and judge either nothing or just go for islamophobia. Many Italians even dont feel so much as Europeans. It is so short sighted...
Love your contents and love Bosnia it's one of my favorite places in the world
Sister, I am ashamed that entire ummah could not help you. However, you are still remembered here in Pakistan. We really feel your pain. Hopefully, we could do for you with the will of God.
I'm not muslim but may God bless Ahmed and his family.
I understand Dutch but can’t stop reading the subtitles 😂. This is a very interesting program.
“Allah in Europe “ what an interesting choice of title!
Haha same here.. ondertiteling gewoon zomaar lezen😂
There's so much emotions involved here...
Subhana Allah, you make me so happy, you two beautyful sisters. Love your attitude. This is european Islam. Live Bosnia.❤❤❤❤
An eye opening, thank you fir your documentary...
We love our Bosnian brothers and sisters . Love from India.
Actually, I support all the oppressed ones irrespective of their religion or ethnicity ❤️
if i'm ever visiting bosnia first thing i'll do is wear that white armband.
Stay Strong Bosniaks May Allah Bless you .
Love & Prayers From Oman
I felt so much humanity in this video. I understood what he was saying about the US, that unity with God feeling just is lacking. Thank you Bosnia!
I pray that Allah protect his followers now until end of time. Ameen. 🤲
May Allah send glad tidings and protection to the brothers and sisters in Bosnia
My prayers from Indonesia
Brother Damir nailed it by saying there's no European Islam but Islam in Europe.
Rename the title in "Islam in Europe", not "Allah in Europe", that's a blasphemy...The Almighty God - Allah is not in Europe, so the title does not make any sense, please rename it, God bless.
2 right handed allah who can't be a father, spirit and gives no full assurance is your almighty? Abdul you are indeed.
Better use your natural senses than follow without free will
allah moon god.
@@suekennedy8917 you need to educate yourself !!! .... الله or Allah is Arabic word and means God in English, so every language has it's own word to describe " God Almighty " The Creator of whole world whether moon, human beings, sun, animals, plants..........
@@miraa1755 'In ancient Syria and Canna, the Moon-god Sin was usually represented by the moon in its crescent phase. At times the full moon was placed inside the crescent moon to emphasize all the phases of the moon. The sun-goddess was the wife of Sin and the stars were their daughters.'
@@free4christemwanta926 do you see his hands ????
Will visit one day ❤️❤️ love Bosnia from 🇧🇦 Bangladesh 🇧🇩
Thanks & appreciated your great work .
its make me cry how my bosnian brother & sister sacrifices their lives in genocide.
May Almighty Allah bless all the bosnian martayrs high rank in Heaven.🇵🇰❤️🇧🇦
It looks like your alah didn't help them too much, here🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
*Bosnian Muslim society should be appreciated and followed by other Muslim majority countries of true freedom and democracy. Societies of IRAN and Saudi Arabia should be changed by following Bosnian Muslim society*
islamic societies need to tolerate bikini girls
As a muslim l agree with you fida saudi arabia it's wahabism and most of us muslims like me don't follow it they had given fund for some terrorist organisation but unfortunately those western countries instead of supporting countries like Syria Egypt they support Saudis.many muslims in my country and in indonasia with largest Muslim population fear over influence of saudi we even don't like their dress code.about Iran it's a nice country with nice people only government is bad and media only shows about it l hope u visit Iran me even being sunni muslim support Iran not their government be tooo
@@RodMen_89 You are right. If you investigate, you will truly find that Muslims in Europe are much more religious and pious than Muslims in IRAN and SAUDI ARABIA. You can not force people to follow strict Arabic rules in the name of Islam, and if you do, it always results in what we see that Afghanistan has highest number of Muslims who dislike Islam and similarly Saudi and Iran...
@@asilaslapt1510 True from Malaysia. We send 400 commando under Turkey help.
@@fidalikhon 😂 r u out of your mind.
"Muslims dislike Islam?"
They're not Muslim at the first place.
Really important that Bosnia is taught in school because it challenges a lot of misconceptions about Muslims
Long live Bosnian muslims and all muslims worldwide. The whole world is embracing Islam so fast day by day. Alhamdulillah.
Soundtrack is wonderful!.. as was the one for the barbershop in Brazil!
Bosnian Herzegovina, wake up and stand up!
All the question you've been asking from the people in your video just feels right to me. And the IT guy do gave good answers to those questions. Islam is Islam. No matter where or what country you're from and there's no such things as relax but only assimilation from the world we live in
I'm very thankful to you for this doc. Support and stand with them. The world wants to know how sacrifice the European Muslims. Love from Kerala 👍
Pakistan is the one who help thair armless Muslim brothers and sisters in 92 genocide of Bosnia and Pakistan army stay thair for a long time with United nations peace mission to save humans from animals and we love our Bosnian innocent people ❤️
Pakistan is the reason why Islam is hated
@Dino Gazi don't blabber
Kilam Rediah.We love you too my brother! Thank you for the help Pakistan has contributed to the Muslims people of Bosnia at the time of the suffering!!!
pakistan is islamic, christians are humans 2 class
Pakistan did help and it was your obligation.
Thank you.
Never in my life I have seen a lady barber, I am Syrian btw
it breaks my heart how was treated Bosnian Muslims.
Salute you from Somali.
What does Mohammed mean to you?
@@danielyonas9928 a human being just like you, me and everyone else.
@@daadirabbi:: Do you pray to Mohammed and Allah?
@@danielyonas9928 why would I pray to anyone and if God wants me to pray to him or she can tell me.
@@danielyonas9928 do you pray to jesus the middle Eastern guy?
What an excellent documentary ❤
I loved the Imam,Shaykh and brother Damir.
