In the year 1960, Husein Đozo was elected a head of the Religious-education Office of the Islamic Community of Yugoslavia.  In the academic year 1960/61, he started his service in Gazi Husrev-bey’s Madrasa. From that year onward there he taught the following subjects: aqaid, fiqh, tafseer, hadith, akhlaq and the methodology of delivering lectures in a jamaat. Working with the students, discussing the Muslim society, he stressed the need to overcome ignorance, and narrow-mindedness and to adjust to the new contemporary developments, adopting the new social, political, cultural and all other circumstances.  Throughout the sixties of the 20^th century, Husein Đozo spoke and wrote about the youth.  Often stressing the elements in our society that could be classified as the problems of the youth. However, he pointed out that the problem of the youth cannot be isolated and viewed outside of the framework of society as a whole. The life of the young people expresses some kind of a revolt which can ultimately be seen as a movement forward and progress.
