Abstract

UDK 39(497.6=163.4*)

In this article the author presents religious customs of Bosniaks regarding the upbringing of children and their attendance in maktab class in contemporary context. Final exams, hatmas (completion of reading of the entire text of the Qur’an) and maktab completion ceremonies are the main focus of the article. Since the work was mostly based on field-research, carried out in wider region of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the author brings accounts of final exams in maktab class and hatmas from jamaats (congregations): Poriče and Bugojno, followed by local variants of the ceremony from other localities in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Distinctiveness of hatma ceremony in Bosanska Krajina is presented in an example of jamaat Velagići – Pudin Han, Ključ.
