My 4 uncles from Somalia 🇸🇴 went to Bosnia to fight and stand with our brothers and only 1 came back the rest died there may Allah accept their Marty and all who died.

Assalamu Alykom. I am Palestinian from Gaza. I went for a visit to Bosnia 1 month ago. I toured most of this beautiful country. I have not seen one single place with no posters or Flags of Palestine in Solidarity with the Genocide happening! Every road, every corner I passed, you can see it. You made me feel at home. Everyone that know that I was Palestinian was making sure I knew that their hearts are with us. I also remember this sweet old lady who started crying when she knew I was from Gaza. My Bosnian brothers and sisters thank you for your empathy I truly felt that your hearts are with your Muslim brothers and sisters in Palestine. I know if you had the chance you would come and fight with us. May Allah increase in our bond as Muslims. And may we all start sharing the same borders soon. From the bottom of my heart thank you.

Selam alejkum from Bosnia 🇧🇦 Thank you for speaking up for Bosnia. I really need to reply that the things regarding the end of the war are not really true. The NATO airstrikes are not the reason for starting the peace agreements. In 1995, the Bosnian Army started several offensives capturing many cities, especially in the north. It was then that the UN forced the agreement to take place. I really think that we Bosnians should be portrayed as heroes, keeping and safeguarding Islam in the heart of Europe. When speaking about this topic, it is a must to mention our beloved commanders such as Izet Nanić, Mehmed Alagić, Zaim Imamović, Atif Dudaković, Safet Zajko… We fought until the last one. Best greeting from Bosnia. May Allah ease the situation for our brothers and sisters in Gaza. 🇵🇸❤️

Esselamu Aleykum from Bosnia 🇧🇦, thank you for video.

I swear to GOD almighty that we shall NOT be slaves” ⁃Alija Izetbegović ⚜❤

As a Bosnian and on behalf of my people I thank you for such a great video content.

Esselamu aleykum from albania. I didn’t we had such great muslims hero as our neighbor. May Allah have mercy on him and grant him jannatul firdaus

As a Somali, every Bosnian I met was cool with me, great hard working people, may Allah bless them.

I am American and I love Bosnia I am going there one day hopefully. :)

Much Love to Bosnian Muslims from Pakistan.

Love from Saudi Arabia to my brothers and sisters in Bosnia 🇧🇦❤🇸🇦

i survived this war, thanks to Allah. today my children are being discriminated by the serbs in schools.-they do not allow bosnian language to our children inside the entity called RS... we did get a country but like Alija once said, the war will start after the war... he was right

from Turkey, he was my role model for my 20s and still he is in my 30s. Thanks for paying attention on this big Hero!!

I am proud that he was my first President and that he is from my people.🇧🇦⚜️

Thank you for putting together this video. Bosnian Aussie here, who lived in the war for 3 years as a child

May Allah swt grant him and all Bosnian shaheeds the highest level of Jannatul Firdews Ameen Proud to be Bosnian muslimah ☪️ 🇧🇦

We were low in numbers, and we still are.. But we have fought, and we will fight for the path of Islam as long as we exist. 🇧🇦☪️

We will not forget the Bosnian Martyrs, Love from Pakistan.

The history of Bosnia made me cry

As a albanian .... from macedonian we are one ummah... .

Selam from Bosnia ... thanks for the video.. a message to all Muslims until you defend yourself, don't expect help..

Every Bosnian Muslim I've met have always been the best of us. Masha'Allah their commitment to deen is unparalleled. Long live Bosnia and may Allah guide us to unite the UMMAH! AAMEEN!

Salam Alaikum Warahmatullah Wabaraktuhu I am a Bosnian Muslim thank you for this brilliant documentary. It is very important to never foget that Iran played a heroic role in helping Bosnian Muslims survive in most crucial time when Bosnian Muslims where slaughtered and nobody wanted to send help in weapons, Iran sent tens of thousands of tones of weapons and arms to the Bosnian Muslims. Pakistan also played an heroic role in sending anti tank grande launchers. These 2 Muslim countries were the countries that provided help in the most crucial times never forget these Muslim Brothers! Long live Muslim unity!🇵🇸 🇮🇷 🇵🇰 🇧🇦

Jazak Allah Kheer from Bosnia 🇧🇦🇵🇸🇧🇦🇵🇸

I was recently in Bosnia and while on a taxi, the driver said on quote "The Serbs are waiting for the moment, they are ready again"... May Allah protect all of us..

Im Moroccan and i've read his book " islam between the east and west " This guy was a philosopher and an Islamic thinker ahead of his time. May God have mercy on him. I highly recommend his book!

I am from India. A generation of Muslims found inspiration from his book in India too. It was translated to multiple languages in India.

📜 *Alija Izetbegović* He wrote one of the most important books that explains the impact of atheism on society/societies The name of his book is *" Islam Between East And West "*

Palestinian.I fell in love with this man over 20 years ago.

Asalaamu Alaikum from Kazakhstan! Jazakha Allaha Khayran for this amazing video. My country was under Soviet Union occupation. Communism brought a lot death, suffering, genocide and atheism. Thanks Allah, now it is an independent country and people are coming back to Islam. May Allah grant a jannat to Alija Izetbekovic and bless Bosnia !

Assalamu aleykom from Somalia, Alija did his best for all of mankind to show the carnage the Serbs carried on Bosnian moslems. Allah bless his soul

From Egypt, we are One Ummah

"Kada hoću da pišem, pisao bih samo krike i urlike, a kad hoću da govorim, onda zanijemim i samo bih plakao." 💔S R E B R E N I C A💔

Whenever I hear about Bosnia pain strike my heart and bones wallahi, but alhamdulilah now my brothers and sisters are free from evil may Allah grant them peace and iman. My brother Ali Allah grant you firdaus ❤

During that war, my country Bangladesh had a religious leader. He sent our army to Bosnia and our soldiers were under siege conditions. The Serbs tried to starve our soldiers to surrender but our soldiers being used to hard conditions survived eating plain soaked rice with salt. Alhamdulillah we were able to help free Bosnia. US bombing broke the seige if I remember correctly. I really wish my country had a leader who fears Allah. Then maybe we could have helped people of Gaza too. May god bless all who fight for the righteous and the innocents

I remember 1995 when the UN did nothing to stop the genocide happening. Thank you for researching this. Jazakalla Khair

Mashallah much love to Bosnia! Please don’t forget the Serbians did the same thing to us Muslims in Kosovo as well!! 🇧🇦🇽🇰🇦🇱🇵🇸

Important to note: the Bosnian army, despite the embargo, was on the verge of liberating entire Bosnia (operation “oluja” set this of). When the international community saw this, only then NATO intervened and forced Alija to the negotiating table, threatening to bomb Muslim positions. If it wasn’t for NATO intervention we would now have a fully autonomous Bosnian republic. Instead we are left with a political mes where al three (corrupted) parties are co-governing the country.

Asalam Alaikum from a Muslim Bosnian sister living in States. This is a great video. May Allah reward you abundantly. Amin!

He is a great person known all over the islamic world, love from Türkiye

From.Malaysia.With. love.To.The.Bosnian❤

I am Bosnian myself, and I see my now 91-year-old grandfather crying because the Arabs are not helping the Palestinians. This just makes me angry after we experience real genocide ourselves. We Bosnians have great respect for the Arab nations and praise them for helping us and being our brothers in faith. It only hurts me even more that all the Muslim nations that once gave us the chance to survive and defend ourselves are now just watching the Palestinians die anderen have been doing so for decades! We are far away, in Europe, surrounded by a predominantly Christian Europe that does not want to see a Muslim country, but the Palestinians are among Muslims. They all have no European nation that could intervene in their territories. I realize that smuggling arms and getting aid worked, as in our case, but that is not enough. 75 years of this existence are not possible under such conditions without the complicity of the Naibhours. We are aware that the treatment that we as Muslims in Europe still receive is in many ways unacceptable and is being repressed,we are not accepted in Europe but I am in disbelief that the Palestinian receive the same treatment, since they are Muslims and among other Muslims states and jet are treated like Bosnia among Europeans.

I remember the October of 2003, as it were yesterday. It was pouring the entire day, and almost 200 thousand people attending the funeral. For a country of 4 million people, that was truly astonishing.

Over 2 Billion Muslims and still we are suffering! Shame on the Ummah Arab leaders

Alija Izetbegović- One if the most important persons of modern history who made much from anything ! May Allah have Rahma on him

just a reminder to his letter to the turks...alija izetbegovic.. may allah qurant him the highes of jsnnah.. ameen

He didn't only save Islam, he saved the Bosniaks

I am proud Bosnian, proud of our late president Alija Izetbegovic r.a. . JazzakAllah khair brother for showing people who was our first and only president. Allah subhane we teala may grant him Jannah Firdews 🤲

My mother told me stories of how many orphaned bosnian children were migrated to Pakistan. They were beutiful, innocent children who lost entire families. Their was a tough criteria for their adoption as many people wanted them and only those who could provide good living standard were given the children. This shows th scale of the genocide.

We need someone like his man to save Islam in THE ARAB WORLD .

Thank you for telling us about him. What a legendary honourable Muslim. So proud that he was part of the greatest ummah. May Allah ta’ala have mercy on him, be pleased with him and grant him jannahtul firdaus, ameen.

Salam Alaikum. Thank you for the video about greatest and biggest modern Bosnian hero. In the days of war Alija had many other heroes with him ( like Izet Nanić) , but he was tze biggest of them all. Let me tell you a bit about war. Siege of the Sarajevo was the longest siege of Capital city in modern history. It went on for 44 months. For 44 months enemies of Muslims blocked food, aid , tried to disrupt water. Electricity was very very rare occurence. Only real way to get the suplies to thousands of people was a top secret little tunnel built by brave amazing men called Tunnel of Hope. Siege of Sarajevo went on more than 3 times as long as siege of Stalingrad. In avreage enemies shot 329 projectiles on Sarajevo EVERY DAY for the duration of the siege. Sinpers would play the game of shoting the youngest first, while mortars would play the game of hitting the most crowded areas where civilians went for water and traded for food one of the biggest was Markale Massacre where they killed 68 and wounded 144 civilians who came to trade for food. All in all četnici ( Serbs who did atrocities) killed 14011. From which is over 1600 children. Now for one of the most twisted things. There is a movie called Sarajevo Safari ( sniper tourism). That is a documentary where its shown how influental and famous people came to sarajevo and paid big money to try their hand at sniping civilians and children. That was dark dark time for every Muslim in Bosnia and Herzegovina. For any of you who read this, sorry if I made you upset, but plase like the comment so others learn beaware of evil like that. If you have a stomach for more reality check google Srebrenica genocide, Prijedor genocide, Ahmići massacre. Thank you for reading and pray for Gaza and whole world so stuff like this stops happennig. Salam alaikum

As a Muslim of Bosnian ethnicity, thank you for your videos (including this one). Its so important we consolidate our knowledge, our history and experiences around the world. For so many plan against us, but Allah knows best! ❤

He didn't save islam he saved himself by islam . Islam is perfect protected by the master of Universes .

Salam from Indonesia , Bosnia is white muslim and greatfull original muslim in europe

السلام عليكم from Bosnia

you should talk about how Bosnian army defend it self aganist serbs.Muslim should learn that

The same monsters committing GENOCIDE today 😢

MALAYSIA LOVE BOSNIAN!.. at that time we Malaysia people help what we can help, I love bosnian people, At that time Malaysia was prime minister TUN MAHATHIR MOHAMAD, he was the one who extended help to the Bosnian leader and helped form the armed forces. I think there is a point in the name,TUN MAHATHIR MOHAMAD in Bosnia to commemorate his service to the Bosnian people, the Malaysian army was once sent to Bosnia under the banner of the UN, the Malaysian army helped the Bosnian Mujahideen fight against the Serbs, even the saddest thing is that there are Malaysian soldiers who Killed and injured during Malaysian military operations in Bosnia, I'm not mistaken, the Malaysian army helped build a mosque in Bosnia and the mosque was named after the Malaysian mosque,And the Malaysian army helped build a bridge for the bosnians, At that time, we couldn't bear to see our fellow Muslims in Bosnia killed, raped, tortured by the Serbs.That's why TUN MAHATHIR MOHAMAD, the prime minister at that time, helped Bosnians in all kinds of ways, may TUN MAHATHIR's life be extended this year, he is 99 years old

I’m South African we studied his book in my halaqa for many months. May Allah grant him janna firdous

This man reminds me of the Meccan struggle of the seerah. We think he was weak when in fact he showed the greatest strength. We need to read the books and better ourselves!

My brother in faith, as someone who lived through that war I cannot express enough gratitude for this video. It brought tears to my eyes. We owe it to our fallen, to learn from it so it may never repeat itself. May Allah reward you plentiful for your time and dedication.

Jazakallah khayr. Excellence video. Just wanted to note. I lived under the siege of Sarajevo for 4 years. Watching what israel is doing to Gaza makes me think that the siege we lived under was a 5 star resort compared to what Palestinians are enduring.

ŽIVIO ALIJA I BOSNAKA ARMIJA, ŽIVJELA ŽIVJELA BOSNA ⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️

Thank you for shining light on our first and greatest president ever. He as terrific human being and a great leader and above all he was a great Muslim! El Fatiha 🤲

Subhanallah it’s so surreal listening to this. I was born in 92 in Bosnia, and the next day the hospital I was born in was bombed. My mother had to flee alone with me and had experienced so many atrocities. I remember hunger at such a young age and remember my childhood as a happy one because of the family I had. Grandma thought me to say Alhamdulilah In all situations. She was always in remembrance of Allah. When she had the chance to go to Denmark to seek refuge there she declined and stated she would never go to a place where they would put a cross on her as she was old and thought her time would come. My father had to fight as all the dads were at that time and I was with my mom grandmother and brother. When I see images and videos of the children of Gaza Palestine it breaks my heart all over again. And I get flash backs of my grandfather dying of heart ache of receiving news of two of his sons being martyred. May Allah give Palestine support and tranquility.

One of the best documentaries there is

Amazing! May Allah reward you immensely for this eye opening documentary! This is the history we Muslims should be learning from. May Allah SWT strengthen our faith and our ummah!

A tremendously important expose on the life of a truly important Muslim! Thank you for presenting this video to us!

As a muslim, I think someone should make this a non-muslim centric documentary. So the rest of the world could swallow Izetbegovic's legacy.

Salam Aleykum , Im serbian revert ❤ we r one ummah . So happy you taled abt this topic ❤

In 1993 Bosniak muslim fight against 5 military in Bosnia, hvo, chetniks, autonomy military from Velika Kladuša, Serbian military and Croatian military, and Bosniaks muslims didn't have military and weapons, we are miracle of resistance and we save Bosnia and Herzegovina

بارك الله بك على هذا الجهد المبارك أن شاء الله ونسال الله العلي القدير ان يحفظ اهل بوسنيا وسائر بلاد الإسلام من كل شر

May Allah reward You and everyone who participated in making this video. Assalamualaikum from B&H 🇧🇦

Thank you for video...respect from bosnia.

We Bosniaks are proud of our president. The right man at the right time in the right function, great leader and fighter for deen. May Allah have mercy on him♥

OnePath Network, thank you for this. Alija Izetbegović is really not respected enough nowadays. Even all Bosnians should watch this video.

One of the best explanations I have seen. Many thanks from a Bosnian guy who was part of that unfortunate war… 👏🏼🙌🏼

And after war to this day muslims in Bosnia starts to practice Islam more and more, thanks to mujahedeens from middle east that come to help during war in Bosnia. Bosnian muslims now are woke and ready for everithing. Alot of young Bosnian muslims start praying, following sunnah and Kur'an, grow beard, learn deen, get married, get kids, train etc...and most important we have excelent scoolars and theyre doing great, really great dawa in Bosnia like Zijad Ljakic, Safet Kuduzovic, Elvedin Pezic, Muhidin Halilovic and alooooot of others. Elhamdulullah Islam in Bosnia is just growing more and more. Most of people that start praying and following Kur'an and Sunnah are youngs who are smart and strong. Thank you my brother for this video. I want to say that we in Bosnia now are in really good situation with everithing. Elhamdulillah ❤

Salam to brave Bosnia from Egypt

salam all my muslim brother and sister of bosnia

3:00,, subhan Allah, when you raise pious doughters in islam, Allah s.w.t brings such doimonds through them..

Thank You.

Bosnian Muslim here. You’ve done a remarkable job really. Mashallah! I’ll add just one thing: When you read the “Islamic Declaration” - the collection of Izetbegović’s essays on the status of Islam and Muslims in Bosnia - you cannot but find it incredible and absurd that he was sentenced to 14 years' imprisonment for those texts, when in reality there isn't a single sentence in the texts that you could read as hate speech or whatever bs he was accused for. Of course, from today's point of view, it is clear how it was possible and why it was done. As-salamu alaykum.

I am from Pakistan. I was a young kid but I remember the complete Genocide, and I often wondered why history/western media erased/ignored Bosnian ethnic cleansing. 😢

i still remember when there was war in bonia i was a child and we would pray for bosnian muslims in pakistan in every mosque.

Informative video. Especially for current time!

I read the story of the 3 days of Jenocide 13 years ago from an obscure newspaper which I was about throw away into the bin. I couldn't believe what I was reading and the mainstream media didn't utter a single word on it. Then I kept the newspaper for few days before I lost it. It was reporting a special report on 15 years anniversary of the sad event.

Assalamu alaikum. I am from Bosnia and I thank you for making this video. I was 7 years old when war started in our country in 1992. War was tough for us but it was maybe the best time for Islam in Bosnia. Many people have returned to Allah s.w.t. because of it. During the war the mosques were full of people. Many returned to Allah s.w.t. because of war. Islam was revived. The war was a blessing in some sense no matter how wild that may seem to those who have not experienced it. Keep note that the young Muslims were inspired by Muslim Brotherhood from Egypt and Sayyid Qutb and that there were other strong intellectuals who were companions of Alija Izetbegovic and that also produced great literary works that served as guardians of Islamic thought within Muslim community(e.g. Mustafa Spahic and Munir Gavrankapetnovic). Also we are welcoming of all sorts of Muslims in Bosnia even though we are mostly Hanafi oriented Muslims. Hanafis, Salafis, Sufis, Shias all have their presence here and are exerting their influence. The sad thing is that 30 years later we now don't have any strong intellectual like Alija Izetbegovic. We have dozens upon dozens of parties that are battling for power and all sorts of semi-literate individuals that are nowhere close to what Alija Izetbegovic was. I hope Allah keeps us safe and helps Islam stay here till the end of times.

Powerful figure, powerful narration, powerful message. Very well done video. May Allah save us all.

A huge heart from Bosnia! ❤❤❤❤ Thank you.

Alija was truly an inspirational person, there were also a lot of christians in the Bosnian army as well, they gave their lives for the country and freedom. Great video, much love from Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina

Jazzakum Allahu khairan for re-uploading

Great video. I have been fascinated and interested in this man’s life. I have been reading his book ‘Islam between the East and West’. Very interesting book

I learned about him couple of years ago and miraculously someone gifted me his books. May Allah have mercy on him.

Always pray for my Bosnian Brothers and Sisters.

Well documented, thank you so much ❤❤❤

Thank you for this video I m from Bosnia ❤❤❤❤

On behalf of the Alija Izetbegovic Foundation in Sarajevo, we thank you for this great video - we appreciate you putting spotlight on Bosnia and Herzegovina and Alija Izetbegovic’s life and work

Thank you for doing a great job with researching and presenting the late Alija Izetbegovic. I want to add some things to this great analysis. I am a Bosnian who was present in Bosnia during the last war and I am greatly interested in our history and politics. I own and read all books and works written by Izetbegovic. So here is what I want to add: - Even though it may sound complicated, our ethnicity is called "Bosniak" not Muslim. Our religion is Islam but the ethnicity is Bosniak. On the other hand "Bosnian" means anyone who is from Bosnia. - AI (Alija Izetbegovic) was a great thinker, aleem, philosopher, and a leader. However, he did not have one crucial thing that makes you a "great" politician. He was a genuinely good man by nature and could not play all the crooked games that his opponents played. That's why he was pressured into signing the Dayton Agreement that gave Serbs their own mini-republic and divided Bosnia into separate ethnic regions. - AI was a rare leader (like Nelson Mandela and George Washington) who stepped aside from the presidency willingly after serving his terms and got out of politics for good. This is a sign of only the greatest leaders and it shows his qualities as a human. - There are so many similar things that happened to him and Nelson Mandela and it actually happened at the same time. - AI had friends all over the world among Muslim world and Western countries - Bosnia was indeed helped by most Muslim countries but it was not public because of the arms embargo. - AI was traveling a lot during the war to get help from other countries and he would only eat soup and other simple things on those trips because he felt bad that his people did not have anything to eat and did not want to eat anything that we don't have access to. -Just before the Dayton Agreement was about to be signed Bosnian Army was advancing and the whole country was on standby as a huge freedom offensive was about the begin. The Serbian army was already starting to make plans for withdrawal and that's when NATO and Bill Clinton threatened AI with air strikes. They said: "You Bosniaks and Croats now have half the country and Serbs have the other half, if you choose to try to get the rest of the country back, we will bomb you". Bill Clinton wrote this himself in his autobiography called "My life" - Bosniaks are most likely the last ethnic group that accepted Islam collectively
