Abstract

UDK: 28-23-523.4

This article presents, for the first time, a women’s mukabala held in the Saračica mosque in Visoko. Sarčica mosque, along with Haji mosque in Sarajevo has the longest tradition of women mukabala, which continued until the Aggression on Bosnia and Herzegovina, as very rare maukabala held by women. Based on oral tradition and the testimony of the direct participants, it is evident that the women's makabala has a very long and significant tradition in the Sarčica mosque in Visoko. Thanks to the effort and diligence of, primarily, muallimas but also jamaat members, this tradition is carried on from one generation to the next and thus was preserved. In this article, we tried to stress the significance of this tradition, which offers additional education, social inclusiveness, and provides the female members of the jamaat with an opportunity to make a significant contribution to the preservation of their identity and the overall development of the community
