Summary/Abstract: This article deals with Čauševićes’ perception of the Sunnah. Mehmed Džemaludin ef. Čaušević was waiz, writer, educationist, reformer, religious modernist and reisu-l-ulama. In this article we tried to present his understanding of the Sunna in times when Bosniaks were faced with numerous challenges of new and modern era. Čauševićes’ understanding of the Sunnah was mainly rejected by the Muslim population of the time. We may say that the modernist understanding of the Sunnah still survives and has its promoters even today.
