Summary/Abstract: This article aims to give an overview study of the main specific tenets of the Islamic tradition of Bosniak Muslims as defined and institutionalized by the traditional Islamic Community in Bosnia. Also, it attempts to shed light on current perceptions, attitudes and practices in the context of an overall pre-Ottoman and postOttoman religious tradition of the Bosniak people known historically as Bono Homini ("the Good People"). The article provides a survey on the Bosniak Muslims in regard to their Islamic tradition in Bosnia with the purpose to reveal whether there are regional, gender and age differences among them in terms of their religious beliefs and practices. In doing so, the author was assisted by the authors in this area such as Ćimić, Karčić and Alibašić.
