Razumijevanje islama u Islamskoj deklaraciji Alije Izetbegovića
Understanding Islam in Islamic Declaration by Alija Izetbegović

Summary/Abstract: This paper presents the political genesis and basic ideas in the work Islamic Declaration by Alija Izetbegović. The theoretical background and discourses that influenced the author are being examined. The hypothesis is that Islamic Declaration is an eclectic work, and that Izetbegović essentially synthesizes the key concepts of the most dominant figures of Muslim religious reformism and political modernism, moving along the Afghan-Mawdudi-Qutb line, to coincide at many points with the discourse of the Muslim Brotherhood movement (alIĥwān al-Muslimūn). The work Islamic Declaration is a kind of intersection of these lines, and in that respect Izetbegović’s contribution to the global debate of the Muslim intelligentsia on the problems of the Muslim revival that were essentially determined by the colonial context and the secular persecution of Islamic symbols in the hearts of already humiliated and defeated Muslim countries, cities, institutions.
