Summary/Abstract: This work offers basic information about the Islamic educational institutions throughout the history of the city of Tešanj and, to a certain degree, examines their fundamental tasks. The institutions were: madrasa, maktab, libraries, rushdiya and keraathana (reading room). The reports on these institutions are scarce, particularly in the period of the Turkish administration of this city. The situation improved in the Austro-Hungarian period. The research has shown that the city of Tešanj had three medresa. The most famous one was Gazi Farhad-bay madrasa, the most closely examined one in this work. The madrasa existed during XIX century and ceased with their work before 1895, except for Gazi Farhad-bay's, which worked continuously all through 1925. It resumed the work before the Second World War and then one year after the war as a high school.
