Summary/Abstract: In this article the author discusses the issue in relation to the orphans in the Islamic tradition of Bosniaks. Bosniaks relation towards this category was constructed on the basis of the Qur’an and the Sunnah of the Messenger (p.b.u.h). Thus, in the first part of the article the author quotes from the ayas of the Qur’an and from the Hadith with reference to the position of orphans in Islam. Key words that can be summarised from these quotations portray a very clear picture of the attitude that Islam has towards orphans: humanity, compassion, protection and justice. In the main part of the article, the author relates through examples published in Islamic periodicals in Bosnia and Herzegovina about relation of Bosniaks towards orphans. This shows, with the exception of the few very rare cases, that the attitude of Bosniaks towards orphanshas remained within the framework of the Islamic teaching. The examples given in the article are listed in chronological order.
