Summary/Abstract: This is the first article about the pilgrims from the Džakule area, the people who performed the fifth Islamic duty during the aforementioned years; a duty that is prescribed for all Muslims who have the material means to fulfill it. Performing this religious duty has special meaning for all Muslims around the world. Many folk customs are connected to the hajj, and they are specific and in line with the countries and regions where these Muslims live. We have 33 names on this list and we hope that they won’t be altogether forgotten, like those before them. Aside from that, this contribution is also important for the cultural history of the area.
