NUŽNOST DUHOVNOG ODGOJA U CURRICULUMU IPF-A BIHAĆ
THE NECESSITY OF SPIRITUAL UPBRINGING IN THE CURRICULUM OF IPF BIHAĆ

Summary/Abstract: After an introduction and clarification of Islamic spirituality, its originality, authenticity and finally superiority in comparison to other faiths and religions, and which is located in foundations of our own identity, presenting the guarantee of our survival in this particular area. In the paper we discuss about the institutionalization of spiritual upbringing in real social life which represents a special difficulty in one multiethnic and multireligious society. Islamic Pedagogical Faculty (IPF) in Bihać in its name has the prefix Islamic, while its Department of Social Pedagogy and Spiritual Care (SPDS) even carries the prefix spiritual, which necessarily requires the initiation of spiritual upbringing into its curriculum or gives legitimacy to the courses, research and graduation thesis from the field of Islamic and conventional courses, many issues study comparatively spiritually and scientifically and/or vice versa scientifically and spiritually with mentors and comentors from religious and conventional courses. The difficulty of institutionalizing religion and its spiritual values in our multicultural society, especially Islamic ones, can be best seen only from the attempts by the Islamic Community in Bosnia and Herzegovina (IZ BIH) to sign an Agreement with the State of Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as the existence of obstructions and insurmountable obstacles to its realization, even though such agreements were signed with representatives the other two constituent nations! We encountered similar obstacles in the realization, opening and making socio-economic status of our faculty, the Department of Religious Studies, Social Pedagogy and Spiritual Care, as well as in some courses, especially Spiritual Therapy, Genocide, or Contemporary History of Bosniaks, etc.
