Summary/Abstract: Religious and educational inspections during the Austro-Hungarian rule were performed by the Islamic community of Bosnia and Herzegovina in cooperation with the Provincial government. These were regular controls of work in Islamic religious school that were mostly reduced to formal control of the teaching process, due to the fact that the controllers were not able to objectively review all the approaches that were used in the study of individual subjects during their short stay. This paper discusses the control of work in Islamic religious schools in the cities of northeastern Bosnia during March and December 1909. At the request of the Resul-ulema Mehmed Teufik ef. Azabagić the control was performed by the members of the Ulema Medžlis, Munib ef. Korkut and Mehmed Džemaludin ef. Čaušević. They made extensive reports that the Reisul-Ulema forwarded to the Provincial government. In this paper the parts of these reports that refer to Gračanica are singled out, specifically the observations on the situation in the “Osman-kapetan” madrasah, the maqtab ibtidaja, the three female sibjan maqtabs and the teaching of Islamic religion in the public elementary school. Keywords: Gračanica, Islamic community, “Osman-kapetan” madrasah, Austro-Hungarian
