Krenite, biće vam dat ponos dunjaluka i ahireta. Tražite smrt, biće vam dat život. Ummet koji istinski živi i vlada je onaj ummet koji je sposoban da se suoči sa smrću, pa ko trči za dunjalukom, dunjaluk ga ponizi, a ko ponizi dunjaluk, dunjaluk mu klekne na koljena.

Zato pohrilte ka Allahu: "Allah je s vama i On vam neće uskratiti nagradu za vaša djela." (Muhammed, 35. ajet)

Šejh dr. Abdullah Azzam, rahimehullah

🇧🇦 The Unyielding Faith of Muharem ef. Memagić

“I entered prison with my imam’s turban, and with it I shall leave – with dignity. I do not need your pardon.”

These were the defiant words of Muharem ef. Memagić, a dignified Bosniak imam from Bihać, remembered for his honesty, courage, and unwavering moral compass. Born in 1910, he was a man of learning and principle — more educated than his communist persecutors, and a living lesson in how to preserve dignity under oppression.

During WWII, imams in Bosanska Krajina suffered immensely:

🔸 Four were slaughtered by Chetniks in 1942–43:
 – Šaćir ef. Malkoč (Pokoj)
 – Mehmed ef. Mehulić (Čavkići)
 – Hfz. Šerif ef. Begić (Srbljani)
 – Abas ef. Duljković (Ribić)
🔸 Others died of wounds, typhus, or tuberculosis.

After the war, many imams endured years in communist prisons. Muharem ef. Memagić was arrested in 1952 and sentenced to four years for opposing state seizure of religious schools and for allegedly declaring that "communism would not spread while he was alive." He denied all charges. Offered early release, he refused:

“I entered prison with my religious dignity intact. I will not trade it for your mercy.”

Upon release, he resumed his duties, building mosques, educating children, and serving the faithful in places like Cazin, Bužim, and Bosanska Dubica — until his passing in 1983.

Muharem ef. Memagić remains a symbol of spiritual resistance — proof that integrity can survive even the harshest prisons.

🏠 A Home for Palestinian Families – Let’s Help Together! 🇵🇸🤝🇧🇦

Pomozi.ba is launching an appeal to build a house for five Palestinian families currently living in the Salakovac refugee camp in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

📞 By calling 17047, you donate 2 KM and directly support these families in securing a safe and dignified home.

The El Barawi and Rajab families – 19 people in total – are living in extremely difficult conditions. Among them is Sutka El Barawi, a Bosnian woman who married Palestinian student Samir in the 1980s. They moved to Palestine, but were forced to flee the war and return to Bosnia and Herzegovina.

They never asked for much – just a sewing machine to start working. Hardworking, dignified, and humble, they never wanted to live off others. Today, their biggest wish is a roof over their heads. The house they hope to buy costs 130,000 KM – out of their reach, but achievable if we come together!

Bosnians know what it means to lose your home, to be a refugee, to see loved ones suffer in wars they didn’t choose.

🕊️ Let’s help these families build a new home in BiH – one filled with peace, warmth, and hope. Let’s show them they are not alone.

📲 In addition to calling 17047, you can also donate via:
🔹 PayPal: paypal1@pomozi.ba
🔹 Recipient: Pomozi.ba, Dr. Fetaha Bećirbegovića 8, Sarajevo

"The newest post was deleted and will be posted later"*

Nearly 30 years after the Srebrenica genocide, Channel 4 has just released previously unseen footage from January 1996—just six months after over 8,000 Bosniak men and boys were systematically executed.

The footage reveals:
🔻 Bullet-riddled buildings
🔻 Freshly disturbed mass graves
🔻 Exposed human remains – body parts beneath torn clothing and a soldier’s boot next to freshly dug earth

While British journalist Jane Bennett-Powell documented undeniable evidence of war crimes committed by Bosnian Serb forces, the so-called “international community,” including Britain, turned a blind eye back then. The UN-protected zone fell, and with it, so did any illusion of Western protection for Bosniaks. Despite knowing about the atrocities, British forces and intelligence, like many others in NATO, remained shamefully passive. Now, nearly three decades later, they air the horror as historical drama—yet fail to admit their own inaction and complicity. Even US satellites had already identified mass grave sites in Nova Kasaba and Glogova, and NATO intelligence warned of up to 300 potential mass graves across Bosnia.
Meanwhile, the Republika Srpska’s authorities at the time denied everything, and their so-called military courts never tried a single case related to Srebrenica. Justice delayed is justice denied. This footage isn't a revelation—it's a reminder of how Britain and the West allowed genocide to happen on European soil, then sat on the evidence for decades.

🇧🇦☪ Sheikh Halil Brzina Passed Away

Sheikh Halil Brzina, also known by his dervish name Halil Hulusi Naqshbandi al-Bosnawi, passed away in Sarajevo at the age of 72. He was a wartime commander of the 7th Muslim Brigade of the Army of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the sheikh of the Naqshbandi tekke next to the historic Sarač Ismail Mosque in Mejtaš.

Sheikh Brzina was a rare figure who embodied both military courage and deep spiritual calm. During the aggression against Bosnia, he played a key role in forming the 7th Muslim Brigade alongside Mahmut ef. Karalić (Zenica), Sulejman ef. Čeliković (Kakanj), and Ahmet Adilović (Travnik). Starting as a logistics officer, he later became the brigade’s commander and, after the war, led the 1st Corps of the Army of RBiH until retiring due to health reasons.

He passed away early this morning around 5 AM at the Sarajevo Clinical Center, where he was receiving treatment.

May Allah reward him for his struggle, and may the Bosnian soil lie lightly upon him.

Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji’un

After coffee ☕️ thoughts:

European history, in its entirety, needs a complete overhaul. None of it is correct, none of it is true — it's fiction, it's fabricated. If any of it were true — if any words about morality, rights, civilization, or culture held any truth — the world would not be as messed up as it is, and countless instances of bloodshed and violence would be beyond our imagination.

As a European, in order to truly understand European history, you must first learn the standard narrative they teach you — and then you need to tear it all down and relearn it through trial and error. That's how incorrect it is. It's like a tree infested with termites: on the outside, everything appears normal, but the moment you start poking, you find all these cavities and empty spaces. You realize it's all hollow, and you have to figure out what actually exists and what doesn't. And that is not a pleasant process — especially if you're European yourself.

🇧🇦 While by 1935 Kemal Atatürk's
rule was firmly established in Turkey,
bringing with it a sweeping wave of
Westernization, Bosnia continued to
preserve its Ottoman heritage and its
distinct way of life.
A land where tradition endured, even
as the world around it changed.

🇧🇦 A Garment of Legacy: The Ibrišagić Anterija Returns Home

These are the intricate details of the begovska anterija of the Ibrišagić family from Banja Luka, dating back to the mid-19th century — a stunning example of meticulous handmade craftsmanship. Worn traditionally by married women, the anterija was more than just clothing; it was a symbol of status, heritage, and dignity. Pieces like this, embroidered with exquisite detail, were reserved for noble households and took months of dedicated work to complete.

The last time it was worn was in 1920, on the wedding day of Fatima Ibrišagić (née Tabaković) — a remarkable woman who faced life’s trials with unwavering strength. Widowed young, she raised five children (three her own and two from her late husband's previous marriage), becoming the moral pillar of her family and a respected figure in her community. Known affectionately as the “kadija,” not by noscript but by wisdom, fairness, and ability to reconcile others, her word was trusted and her silence remembered.

This anterija is not merely fabric — it is a silent chronicle of one woman, one family, and one people.

During the war of the 1990s, as the Ibrišagić family fled to Croatia, the anterija was the only possession Snježana Ibrišagić, the family’s daughter-in-law, took with her — a gift given to her as a symbol of trust and responsibility. Her only wish: that one day it returns to hands that would honor it as generations before had done.

On the second day of Eid al-Adha in 2024, the anterija finally returned to Bosnia and Herzegovina — to where it belongs.

This is only one fragment of a larger story — a testimony to how deeply and sincerely women’s heritage pulses through the history of our people.
