Doprinos Derviš-ef. Spahića izučavanju tedžvidske znanosti

Abstract

Derviš ef. Spahić occupies a special place among Islamic scholars in our region. It is said that great nations have institutions and small – great individuals who ensure the continuation of their nation by their extraordinary sacrifice. This outstanding scholar held speeches, wrote, read and studied, in particular the Qur’an and hadith. He organized seminars for imams and he personally visited numerous jamaats in Central Bosnia and beyond, telling them on those occasions about the basics of pedagogical work. He gave imams school boards that he himself procured and paid for as well as wall boards for learning Arabic script, which he prepared and printed at his own expense. This came as a great relief to imams at a time when it was not easy to get textbooks for teaching Arabic script and similar professional literature. At the same time, he gave imams advice on how to teach others in the best possible way. This paper presents a short overview of the work of the well-known muallim, muderris, pedagogue and methodologist Derviš ef. Spahić. In accordance with the given title, the paper covers the following manuscripts: Instructions for Learning the Qur’anic Script and Tajwid. By analyzing these manuscripts, we reached the conclusion that Derviš ef. Spahić made a significant contribution to the study of Tajwid science in our region.
