Sarajevo, one of the capitals where Ramadan is celebrated most beautifully in Europe, has been specially decorated for the holy month.
In particular, the crescent and star-shaped illuminations in the area where the historic Baščaršija is located are among the top spots where both locals and tourists take souvenir photos. 🇧🇦☪

Antun Hangi, a Croatian teacher
who served in Bosnia in the 19th century,
recorded how Bosniaks experienced Ramadan:
In the evening,
when the new moon appeared,
cannons would thunder,
and immediately after them,
the muezzin would announce
to the faithful
that fasting had begun.
The Muslim parts of the city
were festively illuminated,
all around you, there was noise,
bustle, and conversation,
music and singing
could be heard from the cafés,
somewhere in the distance,
the faint sounds
of a Gypsy drum
and the shrill piping
of small davulbashes.
And although this
was rather unpleasant music,
it seemed to belong here,
you would think,
it wouldn’t feel right
if it weren’t there.
And the morning?
What a difference!
Everything was quiet and peaceful,
everyone was asleep,
all the shops, all the cafés,
all the workshops
were closed,
not a living soul in sight.
If you didn’t know
where you were,
and if you didn’t hear
dogs barking,
you might think
you were in
a deserted town.

Only an hour or two
before noon,
shops would start to open,
people would rise
from their mattresses
and go about
their daily tasks.
At noon,
they would go to the mosque
for the midday prayer,
after which
the hodja would give a sermon,
teaching them
how to live
and what to do
to please God.
After the sermon,
those who could
would take a walk
or find
other forms of amusement,
while the poorer ones
continued their work
until the late afternoon prayer.
At the afternoon prayer,
they would return
to the mosque,
and after praying,
the hodjas and softas
would recite the Qur'an.
When the sun set,
the cannon would fire again,
mosques and shops
would light up,
and the fast would end.
This continued
for a full thirty days,
until the new moon
appeared once more.
As soon as the crescent
was spotted,
in any Muslim country,
telegrams would be sent
from one end of the world
to the other,
spreading the joyful news
that fasting had ended
and that the Great or Ramadan
Bayram had begun—
the most important
Muslim holiday.

☕ Esselamu Alejkum,
Channel owner here. I'd like to take a few minutes of your time to reflect together, mano a mano.
Our beloved and wonderful guest has come to visit us once again, bringing joy and mercy into our lives—Ramadan is here, and we are grateful to be alive in this beautiful month. However, not everyone was fortunate enough; some of our brothers have passed on to the next world.
I'd like to make a formal request: I ask you to drop whatever you are doing and make dua for all those who have moved on. It’s what I would want for myself as well.
Remember that time when I was about to be punished, but my Telegram friend made dua for me? That will be a reality for a lot of us—and a sobering reminder at that. Be merciful and seek forgiveness while you still can. Don't take this lightly.
We are witnessing death on a massive scale—in Gaza, Sudan, Syria, Lebanon, Kashmir, Bangladesh—you name it. And it's coming for us too. We all need each other, so don’t sever your bonds.

🇧🇦⚖️ Bosnia and Herzegovina Rejects Hungarian Military Presence & Interference 🇭🇺🚫
The Ambassador of Hungary, Krisztián Pósa, attended a meeting following an invitation from the Presidency member Željko Komšić. During the discussion, Bosnia and Herzegovina made its stance clear on several key issues:
🔹 No Entry for Hungarian Military Police Forces – BiH will not grant any approvals for Hungarian military police to enter its territory in the future.
🔹 Removal of Hungarian Troops from EUFOR – The ALTHEA mission will be asked to exclude the Hungarian contingent from EUFOR, which is currently deployed in BiH.
🔹 Protest Against Interference – A strong protest was expressed over Hungary’s meddling in BiH’s internal affairs and its bias in favor of secessionist policies. Hungarian officials had previously suggested that in the event of a conflict, Hungary would support separatist forces in BiH.
🔹 Judicial Independence – It was emphasized that Hungary has no right to interfere in the judicial processes of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The meeting was conducted on behalf of Željko Komšić’s office by his advisor, Slaven Kovačević.
Bosnia and Herzegovina stands firm in defending its sovereignty and territorial integrity. 🛡️🇧🇦
