Džamije, mektebi i mezaristani na području džemata Gornja Lukavica
MOSQUES, MAKTABS AND MAZARISTANS IN GORNJA LUKAVICA

Summary/Abstract: This article relates about a jamaat in Živinice majlis and their tradition that is preserved and passed from generation to generation. There is not much written data about development and life of this jamaat, as until now no systematic research has been carried out in this regard. Jamaat Gornja Lukavica has had a significant role in education of a part of this majlis. This area had no institutions for higher education, thus mactabs were offering a primary education that could satisfy the students in those times. The role and significance of maktabi ibtidaiyya in literateness and religious education in the area is best noted in the fact that it is still referred to as “Madrasa” amongst the people. By the end of the Ottomans presence in Bosnia and Herzegovina, due to a growing of the number of believers and the difficulties in traveling to Džebare for offering Jumah salah, a small modest mosque was constructed now known as the Old Mosque (Stara džamija).
