ANALITIČKA STUDIJA O HISTORIJSKOJ I PRAKTIČNOJ TRANSFORMACIJI ŠERIJATA U ŠERIJATSKE OBIČAJE I TRADICIJU
In the example of Muslims in our region in one historical period, effective, constant and successive practicing of islamic rules caused these rules to gradually become sharia'h customs. Sharia'h simply became custom and as such was adapted to "turbulent times" and saved from vanishing from practice. Certainly it was not the case with the complete sharia'h, but only with so called "rights of God" (duties towards God) - Islamic postulates: bearing witness that there is no other god but Allah, prayer, fasting, obligatory charity and pilgrimage. In literal tradition, folk songs, proverbs and saying there is registering, description and verification of these customs that were practiced in certain places in BiH. Since sharia'h is obligatory for its followers and religion is essence and aim of man's life as understood from qur'anic creed: " I have created jinni and humans only to worship me.", then re the customs as well that came into being by transformation of sharia'h rules in the course of history in our region. People respect and don't violate these rules, as said by the poet: "even if it is the matter of life and death". Islamic ummah - real Muslims know the answer to question on purpose of life. They understood philosophy of life, their aim of existence in this world. They understood religion and its value. Therefore their religious practice was often and constant and became custom and tradition which we were introduced to through this work.
