Lifetime endeavour of professor Dr. Jusuf Mulić can be divided into two major parts: the first (1959-1991) is related to his scholarly work in the field of micro-economics and the other refers to his work after his retirement from service in 1993, when he was devoted entirely to the research in the field of Bosnian and Herzegovinian history, his great passion since his early youth. Prof. Dr. Mulić made a significant contribution to our historiography in the period 2000- 2018, when he wrote The History of Konjic and its surrounding- from medieval ages to the World War II, The History of Herzegovina – through the medieval age to the Ottoman rule, the History of Muslim schooling from its beginning to the end of the first decade after the World War II when the government of that time issued a decree by which it banned activities of all religious schools. In this period he also published in magazines and newspapers a number of articles addressing various issues but he wrote mostly on historical topics. Thanks to extraordinary researching skill he was able to analyse abundance of the content of archived documents and other historiographies, take what is essential and present them to the reader, offering numerous pieces of information in a very comprehensible manner.
