Why Bosnia Made Me a Better Muslim 🇧🇦

[@WaseemsWay]

Please KZbin make this guy famous and get him to 100k, PEOPLE'S CHAMP!

[@melisadirilish6466]

KZbin will not do him famous... BUT, you and other followers can do that and bring him to 100k++ subscribers, and beyond... Just share his videos/channel and promote it among your friends & associates, and also prompt friends to promote his channel and share it among their friends, and ask them to do the same, and so on, and so on .... Simple 😊

Welcome to my country Mashallah thanks for this video From usa

[@harit.8237]

Selam Aleykum Brother. My Name is Hari and I am also from Bosnia and Herzegovina. First at all I would like to thank you a lot how you have showed all the beuaty of my country, and above all, I would like to thank you for showing the truth about the Genocide in Srebrenica to the whole Islamic world and the whole global world, because what happened in Srebrenica needs to be known to the whole world. Even if I were asked, I would organize school trips to Srebrenica, and not to some exotic destinations, because that way the children would learn history and actually what happened in Srebrenica, but the percentage of children today is too enlightening and they can have traumas , unfortunately it cannot come to that. All in all, I wish you all the best in life and may dear Allah protect you.😊

[@vanzemaljac-110]

Esselamu Alejkum brother, thank you so much for your videos about Bosnia. Bosnian pie that you ate with meat is our traditional dish, but it is true that Ottoman Empire (Turks) bring it into our area. But eating in pekara (place that you buy your pie) can not compare with buregdzinica that is place specificaly made to make all kind of pies, their pies are on another lever. You shoult try it next time. I can recomend you halal places for meat that I know if you need them. Some of them have halal certificate, but you did right thing in asking if it is halal. There is one old lady with hijab and grandpa with long White beard on Baščaršija seling wipes and tespih (thing for doing dhikr) I think they need help, if you meet them next time it would be great to give them something, I feel like they have noor on their faces. Some people who They ask for money are not honest, so I like more to give food then money. Allah knows their intentions, but there are some people who pretend to be hijabies, or to look they don't have shoes, some of them lay on flore to look more in need, so always be aware of those who just want money for drugs or they are Forced by others to ask for money, so that others can buy drugs from that money. May Allah reward u for giving food to lady and bring us on path of those who really need help from us, so that we can help them in name of Allah. Ameen

[@Islamlewis]

Wa Aleikum Assalam brother, Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment and for sharing so much insight about Bosnia's traditions. I truly appreciate it. I had an incredible time exploring the culture, and trying the burek I will definitely make it a point to try pies from a buregdžinica next time and thanks for the recommendation! 🇧🇦 Your offer to guide me to halal places is very kind, and it means a lot. I’m always grateful for any advice that helps me whilst im travelling in countries im not tooo familiar in. in regards to the elderly couple in Baščaršija, I pray Allah guides us to those who genuinely need our help and allows us to give with sincere hearts. Thank you for the reminder to stay aware and always act with care and wisdom. May Allah reward you for your kindness and grant us the opportunity to make a positive impact wherever we go. 🤲🏼 JazakAllah khair for sharing. Insha'Allah, my wife and I will return to Bosnia one day. Take care and may Allah bless you.

Bosnia is the most beautiful country in the world (for me). I live there, and it's my country. Come here again, you should visit Mostar. It has an old bridge and so many tourist destinations. Also, the mosques in Mostar are different than Sarajevo and other places in Bosnia. Probably the most beautiful city in whole country. Selam alejkum!

Just consider when you say the prices are cheap...cheap for whom? Maybe not for the locals...maybe not for many people from Muslim countries that can' t even think of traveling anywhere.

I'm from Sarayevo, the woman sitting on the bridge you gave help to is GIPSY wearing hijab and that is her JOB. She is 99.99 not a muslim woman and not wearing hijab after "work". May Allah SWT put it on the scale of your good deeds but you need to know that MUSLIM woman in Bosnia don't beg on streets, that is my main point. Muslim woman are to proud to beg and we have social services and many organizations that help people in need. So please please don't incourage peope who misuse our religion. THANK YOU BROTHER. When you visit Bosnia next time contact me and I'll show you everything first hand. Asselamualeykum

[@am1156]

Are you certain no Bosniaks beg on the street? I know romas beg, but I've seen old ladies that are dressed as Muslims beg and always thought they were Muslims. Considering the crippling poverty I never thought it was strange they would resort to it.

[@JH-bh5lm]

@am1156 In Bosnia gipsy woman wear hijab while begging exactly because that hijab softens peoples harts... and ofcourse we have muslim woman in need but begging on streets in Bosnia is 99,99 % done by gipsy woman !!!

[@JH-bh5lm]

@@am1156 In Bosnia Roman Gipsy people have higher rights and much higher benefits than the rest of us because the guvernment is trying to intergrate them in to the society as much as possible. They have free education, medical care, their children get educational grants no question asked, and even house are built for their comunities free.... But gipsies don't ever give up their old ways.. They generaly don't send their children to school instead they drop them off in posh vans around the City to beg together with their mothers and sometimes whole families together. Don't get it wrong, I know a few Roman people that are just like the rest of us in Bosnia but they are a rare ocurance. And not to forget - I have a friend working in a bank and she told me about a gipsy woman that comes every day and deposites around 80Euros to her savings account. Keep in mind that avarage salari in Bosnia is less than 500 Euros a month and all your questions and concerns will be answered. That woman is a "self emoloyed" begger on the streets of Sarayevo.

I respect that you are Muslim; however, I am Roman Catholic. I don’t understand the various Arabic/Muslim words you interject in your videos. I would prefer seeing more Catholic Churches in Albania or Bosnia rather than Mosques, because Catholic Churches are equally beautiful, if not more so, and mosques don’t interest me. And, I have no interest in foods that are “halal” as you put it (I even eat raw pork, Mettwurst, as it’s known and is common in Germany.) I do not impose dietary restrictions on myself or anyone else, and I drink alcoholic beverages. If you live a different lifestyle, I respect that. I would also not treat my wife as a second class citizen by requiring she wrap her hair up in a scarf, like a Sikh. But, that’s your business and life. It would only improve your videos to keep your personal religious beliefs and that of your wife out of your videos. Just a polite word to the wise. Apart from that, your videos are otherwise rather good.

So Jesus was white? YOU have not read Bosnian history! Bosina was only partly a Christian country. As the Bosnian king stated in letters to the Pope before the Ottomans came: ''My people prefer the Turks to the Catholics.'' The Turks brought Islam to us. Otherwise we would be worshipping three gods, including a man like you. No thanks!

[@turnoff7572]

There was also a Bosnian church they was a different deviation compared to the Roman church at the times, and compared to both Catholic and orthodox church of today. The followers of that church are the ones that mainly converted to Islam when ottomans came. On top of that you saying how can someone be white and a Muslim makes no sense, and 500 hundred years of white Muslims in Bosnia proves that.
