This is the greatest evidence that the great Bosnian people were of a sound and unchanged nature. They were previously Muslims according to the law of the Prophet Jesus, and they became Muslims according to the law of the Prophet Muhammad, the Seal of the Prophets, a people worthy of respect.
nah they were bogomil christians, not believing in the Trinity/3 gods like the catholics/orthodox and they prayed 5 Times a day both of these things make u muslim especially believing in 1 God like the bogomil ☝️
My home is 350 km from Viena and 450 km from Rome…region was literally a boarder area between muslim and Cristian world for centuries…. Price bosniaks paid for being muslims in mid europe after turks had to withdrew is enormous - 10 genocides in less then 200 years, most people are aware of just one from the war in 1990ties…
Yeah, my mom told me that Bosnia experienced a war roughly every 50 years for about 500 years.. 10 major wars in 5 centuries, plus even more before that.. it's crazy.. and very few know that in WWII Croats and Serbs (former Yugoslavs) were allied with N@z1 Germany, were killing Bosnians because Bosnians didn't side with them and were also protecting Jews from the Yugoslavs who were rounding them up for concentration camps.. And not only that, they also killed Croats who refused to side with them.. anywho my paternal grandma was orphaned by them at the age of three, she witnessed her parents being slaughtered like sheep on the living room doorstep by those terrorists.
@@spartanbeast3575 You know my friend, the fall of the Ottoman empire meant the bastion and protector of our people was no more. I come from Lebanon and my religious teachers taught us how the Ottoman empire had protected us in secret from the radical beliefs that led to the emergence of so-called IS*S that destroyed many mosques and shrines built during the Ottoman era or before that, in much of Syria and Iraq (and their presence in Lebanon was only recently combatted by our army). Now look at us, just existing and trying our bare minimum of withholding our beliefs by being God-fearing in this short life. May God protect Bosnia and lead it to prosperity. The communism did a number on any muslim community whether in Bosnia or Kazakhstan. This reminds me of a story my religious teacher told us about from the land of Kazakhstan/Uzbekistan, when a commissar came to a middle school for boys trying to dispel the belief in God and Islam away. The commissar said: "Can you see God?" The boys replied: "No." The commissar then tried to claim: "Then God does not exist." in order inject poison into the muslim boys. A quick witted boy, mind you his age similar to that of a grade 5 student, stood up and said: "Do you see his mind?", "NO" they replied, "then he has no mind." A basic logical approach with critical thinking can directly reveal that there has to be One who created us and chose for us to be in this body and soul that feels life, and that the Creator is not the created. The Creator is God, and that is the message of prophet Mohammed and all his fellow prophets that preceded him.
If you have suffered injuries ˹at Uḥud˺, they suffered similarly ˹at Badr˺. We alternate these days ˹of victory and defeat˺ among people so that Allah may reveal the ˹true˺ believers, choose martyrs from among you-and Allah does not like the wrongdoers-Al Imraan 140. Time never stays the same Inshallah time will change again.
@@vegetaftw1Yes, this is accurate. I have two Bosniak predecessors in my family that served in the first multi ethnic Nazi SS division (13th Waffen Mountain Nazi SS division) during World War 2. However, the division resulted in a 95% desertion rate. (Poor villagers were conscripted, looking for financial incentives during the war, being promised that the division would be stationed in Bosnia. This promise was not kept and plans to send the troops across Europe was discovered by the troops. This resulted in the nearly 100% desertion rate.) However, it is likely that the majority of Muslims of Bosnia in World War 2 joined with the Yugoslav Partisans (Communist faction) led by Josip Broz "Tito." The Yugoslav Partisans are known to have been the strongest resistance against the Nazi's during World War Two. Selam alejk, brate.
As a Bosniak, thank you so much for speaking about Bosnia's history to the muslim world. Sometimes we feel forgotten by other muslims and on our own. Edit: the background photo goes hard
As a Turk, never feel lonely my brother. The Bosniaks are the serhad beyleri (front mujahids) of Islam and always our heart-brothers. You showed the dignity of Islam to the hypocritic west.

One small correction dear friend. During the time of Bosnian kingdom (more then 700 years) official religion was NOT Bogomils. Bosnian "church" was Manichaeism system of belief. That religion was considered heresy by Chaotic and Orthodox church. All Bosnian kings(dynasty) at that time were Manichaeism except the last king who accepted Chatolicisam and authority from the Pope.
...wrong, according to the official history, all Bosnians, including all Bosnian kings, were following Arius teaching which is "there is only One God"...and, he considered "Jesus to be just a prophet "...regarding Vatican, we don't care about them,... they considered everyone heretic who opposed them,...
...regarding "manichaean", it was never present in Bosnia,...it's just Vaticans propaganda,... if you believe in Vatican, ...I feel sorry for you,...and, I can just tell you,...WAKE UP,...
@@JohnnyWalker1077 nop, read Noel Malcom's book on Bosnian history, even though, he disagrees that Bosnia had it's own church and describes these differences as a hereticism that was later corrected, which is his pro catholic narrative bias, he completely disagrees that Bosnian chuurch had anything to do with Bogomilism aside from being descirbed as heretics by catholicas and orthodox.
@@Mr.Jasaw13 I know his book but I can’t rely on one journalist man’s book while other historians, especially balkan ones, disagree with him.

Bosnia has deep continuity of monotheism from (early unit(arian) christianity from Nicene creed, Great schism, medieval heresy to Islam). Roots of Bosnian church might date since Arius, when him and his followers were deposed and exiled into Illyricum on June 19, 325 as aftermath of Nicene Creed. (center of Illyricum is present mountainous Bosnia) Later on, his belief was supported by Illyrian Arian bishops of late 4th c. (Palladius and Secundianus), contemporaries of Wulfilla - Gothic Arian bishop. Ostrogothic kingdom rooted Gothic christianity all over present Bosnian territory, and left us witnessing today Arian basilica ruins. Official heretical Bosnian church in medieval period fused Arianism, eastern Manicheanism, Dualism, Paulicianism and western Catharism, Patarenism as opposition to Vatican and Constantinopole. At the end, complex interior political clash of Bosnian kingdom nobility, religious similarities, non forced conversion and ottoman sympathies resulted conquest of Bosnia without conflict. Its known that even tens of years before official conquest 1463, Ottomans were called for support by noble families (Kosača, Hranić, Pavlović (Radinović), Kovačević, Hrvatinić) who fought against Hungary and Vatican (Battle of Doboj 1415). So that might be one of reason why Bosniaks see Ottomans as protectors against its own forced catholic convert (last king) Stjepan Tomašević, who converted thousands of Bosniaks to Catholicism, and left many to seek protection in exile in opponents land - noble Herceg Stjepan Kosača in Hercegovina, who called Ottomans for help and further intervention for conquest.
Best explanation of our history on RUclips which many of our Christian neighbours try to rewrite to fit their own narratives. Thank you and May Allah bring you a lot of Barakah🤲
Bosnian church was "Arian"(Followers of Bishop Arian"Aryus) ... Priest Bogomil is "Arian".His followers are called "Bogomils",even they never called them self like that
@@svekolj7534 Bosnian church was "Arian" ... Arrians teaching was were declared heretical and his followers were persecuted as heretics ... The Bogomils took refuge in Bosnia and were accepted in Bosnia as co-religionists,which means that the "Bogomil" whom they followed and named after him was "Arian". 4th.century Bishop of the "Goths"Ulfila/Wulfila",grave is in that part of Byzantine Empire(Bulgaria).At that time "Arinaism" was dominant
Arianism wasn't the only sect deemed heretical, bogumils were from 10th century while Arianism was from 4th, bogumils beliefs were dualistic in nature while Arianism wasn't@Bosniak803
@@svekolj7534 Germanic "Goth's" came to all those areas and lived there,even in Bulgaria.Their religion was "Arianismus" ... All those who appeared later as a movement/sect were influenced by "Arian" teaching ... Everything else is a mixture of old teachngs and beliefs,such as "Pythagoreans" etc. "Sufies" from our area are essentially "Pythagoreans" who were also once persecuted and found refuge in Islam and with Moslems at that time ... They have combination of ancient "Pythagorean" teaching,Arianism and Islam ... Interesting
Bogomils were actually dualists meaning that they believed that there are two gods, a good one and an evil one. They believed that the good god (the Father) created all spiritual things while the evil one (Satan) created all materialistic things. That is the reason why Bogomils rejected the cross because it was a material thing, they also did not build any churches or any other type of structures.
Fun fact, in the 19th century there were some Bosnians who migrated to Palestine (and from there to other lands), and they collectively named themselves Bushnak, and nowadays anyone with that family name, whether they live in the Hijaz or in Shaam (Levant), they're Bosnian descendants. Another fun fact, in Turkey there is a place called Little Bosnia, which is a place made by Bosnian migrants in the 19th century, and to this day their descendants speak Bosnian (alongside Turkish), and the interesting thing is they speak a certain dialect of Bosnian (I forgot which one). It would be nice if you could do videos about these topics as well.
You forgot to mention that Muslims pay Zakaat(tax to poor) and non Muslims don't have to pay that. And when non Muslim joins army, or is disabled or poor they dont have to pay the Djezia. Hamdoulilah for the most fair System in the world.
Great video, most people have no idea about the Bosnian Crusade, also worth pointing out is the Bestoen bishopric regarding the Bosnian Church in 530 and 533.
Rome changed everything for Christians. When we say the Bible has been changed, they get furious. When their own Christian scholars say it’s been altered. Alhumdillah 4 the truth!
As a Bosnian, please do not learn history from religious propagandists. The closeness between Islam and Bogumilism is a little closer than the closeness between Islam and Buddhism Similarities between Islam and the Church of Bosnia: Against the symbol of the cross They did not celebrate the saints Against icons (questionable) Differences: unlike Islam, the Church of Bosnia: does not recognize the old testament, is against building a place of worship, Dualism Belief that there are two Gods in the world, the God of evil and the God of good, Gnosticism (the material world is ruled by the Evil God), The question of Jesus: The problem is that the sources are very scarce, but most likely he was considered an Angel and not a Man. That is, Jesus is an Angel who took human form and came to save us from evil matter
thats why they are similar but still different bogumils still followed Jesus and bible because they were translating it to some point of understanding and they knew how to pray and what not to eat or drink there are big differences of course but there are still similarities because Jesus or Isa AS was in the end a Muslim but people added to his words what he didn't say for their own desires to fulfil...
It has deep roots and its highly influenced by Ostrogothic Arianism (during Eastern Germanic - Ostrogothic kingdom rule), eastern Gnosticism by Paulicians and Bogomils and even islamic mysticism (sufism) by eastern traders. There are few muslim names found inscribed on Stećak tombstones like Ahmat and Husan(Hasan) from 12-13 century, way before official Ottoman conquest. Also, Bosnian banate in its early stages was well aware of Islam because it was southern part of Hungarian kingdom where two Hungarian muslim groups (western Böszörmény and eastern Khwarezmians) lived and served during the rule of king Geza II.
@@TheMusan970 What kind of answer is that?Im really interested in number of Bogumils before the Ottoman invasion.I read sources that their number was only a few hundred
Bosnia has been under great agression from the two opposing forces of Europe for its whole entirety. Thanks to the preserverence of its people and some friendly nations it has always succesfully defended itself. Thank you for making this video and making the unique heritage of my country known to a wider audience. ❤️🇧🇦⚜️
Historians traditionally connected the church with the Bogomils, although this has been challenged and is now rejected by the majority of scholars. Adherents of the church called themselves Dobri Bošnjani ("Good Bosnians"). Bogomilism is from Bulgaria, did not have the same faith as Bosnia. Steci (medieval tombstones) you can only be found in Bosnia, but also some parts of Croatia, Serbia and Montenegro, Bosnia was a little bigger in the Middle Ages. According to the 1971 census, 59,593 stećaks have been preserved in today's Bosnia and Herzegovina, 2,267 in Serbia, 3,407 in Montenegro, and 4,497 in Croatia.
The one haplo group that Bosnians have is the i2 one of the oldest haplogroup in Europe and exactly the same Bosnians have so many different religions not only from Muslims, Catholics, Christians, and others too.
Yes, Bogomilism influenced Bosnian Church at some extent, but many other "heretic" teachings influenced Bosnian Church as well. And followers of Bosnian Church (krstjans) did not pray 5 times a day, as he says. There is no historical record that mentiones that.
@@HL.208yeah i tried finding something about it, but i only found out that they prayed regularly and multiple times a day, but nothing about exactly 5x/day

Its known that even tens of years before official conquest 1463, Ottomans were called for support by noble families (Kosača, Hranić, Pavlović (Radinović), Kovačević, Hrvatinić) who fought against Hungary and Vatican (Battle of Doboj 1415). So that might be one of reason why Bosniaks see Ottomans as protectors against its own forced catholic convert (last king) Stjepan Tomašević, who converted thousands of Bosniaks to Catholicism, and left many to seek protection in exile in opponents land - noble Herceg Stjepan Kosača in Hercegovina, who called Ottomans for help and further intervention for conquest.
Bosnia ♥️ I once read how Pakistanis helped Bosnians to defend them selves with arms and rocket launchers which took out Serbian tanks.
Wonderful content, packed full of info, and not ridiculously long like those standard half hour lectures one usually finds on RUclips !
Best explanation of our history on RUclips which many of our Christian neighbours try to rewrite to fit their own narratives. Thank you and May Allah bring you a lot of Barakah🤲
Love Bosnia, from Turkey.
Bosnian church was "Arian"(Followers of Bishop Arian"Aryus) ... Priest Bogomil is "Arian".His followers are called "Bogomils",even they never called them self like that
It wasn't arian as such it was one of the gnostic churches though much like Cathars in france
@@svekolj7534 Bosnian church was "Arian" ... Arrians teaching was were declared heretical and his followers were persecuted as heretics ... The Bogomils took refuge in Bosnia and were accepted in Bosnia as co-religionists,which means that the "Bogomil" whom they followed and named after him was "Arian". 4th.century Bishop of the "Goths"Ulfila/Wulfila",grave is in that part of Byzantine Empire(Bulgaria).At that time "Arinaism" was dominant
Arianism wasn't the only sect deemed heretical, bogumils were from 10th century while Arianism was from 4th, bogumils beliefs were dualistic in nature while Arianism wasn't@Bosniak803
@@svekolj7534 Germanic "Goth's" came to all those areas and lived there,even in Bulgaria.Their religion was "Arianismus" ... All those who appeared later as a movement/sect were influenced by "Arian" teaching ... Everything else is a mixture of old teachngs and beliefs,such as "Pythagoreans" etc. "Sufies" from our area are essentially "Pythagoreans" who were also once persecuted and found refuge in Islam and with Moslems at that time ... They have combination of ancient "Pythagorean" teaching,Arianism and Islam ... Interesting
It was the Bosnian Church, which didnt have Bogomil teachings but Bogomils were one of the "christian sects" that connected with the Bosnian church
Amazing explanation, thank you Omar so much for sharing knowledge.
Alhamdulillah persatuan umat Islam dari seluruh dunia ❤

i used to listen about genocide in Bosnia so many times. salute to the brave people of bosnia. love and respect from india.
Hi from Turkey, im Turkey Bosniak
Thank you for this fantastic video! Alhamdulilah ❤
Bogomils were actually dualists meaning that they believed that there are two gods, a good one and an evil one. They believed that the good god (the Father) created all spiritual things while the evil one (Satan) created all materialistic things. That is the reason why Bogomils rejected the cross because it was a material thing, they also did not build any churches or any other type of structures.
Fun fact, in the 19th century there were some Bosnians who migrated to Palestine (and from there to other lands), and they collectively named themselves Bushnak, and nowadays anyone with that family name, whether they live in the Hijaz or in Shaam (Levant), they're Bosnian descendants.
Another fun fact, in Turkey there is a place called Little Bosnia, which is a place made by Bosnian migrants in the 19th century, and to this day their descendants speak Bosnian (alongside Turkish), and the interesting thing is they speak a certain dialect of Bosnian (I forgot which one).
It would be nice if you could do videos about these topics as well.
Interesting, there is a town in Serbia called "Malo Bosna" that I passed by recently but I believe everyone is Orthodox there.
Do you mean 'yeni Bosna' neighbourhood in Istanbul?
@@Sa7biUK It's not Istanbul, it's in Turanköy
May Allah bless and remove hardships of our Bosnian brothers and sisters. Salam from Pakistan🇵🇰
The capital city was the West Roman Empire was initially Milan and then Ravenna.
Great content. This was new information for me , I never heard about this history in Europe. Thank you .
You forgot to mention that Muslims pay Zakaat(tax to poor) and non Muslims don't have to pay that. And when non Muslim joins army, or is disabled or poor they dont have to pay the Djezia. Hamdoulilah for the most fair System in the world.
Love to everyone from Bosnia!
Zdravo! To my Bosnian muslim brothers
Can you make a video like this but about Albania? Amazing video may Allah reward you
Mashallah. Thanks for sharing ❤
Thank you.
Bosnia is such a specific country.
The country of the historical crossroads.
comments are surprisingly respectful, at least some compared to other comment sections
Great video, most people have no idea about the Bosnian Crusade, also worth pointing out is the Bestoen bishopric regarding the Bosnian Church in 530 and 533.
May Allah reward you for your efforts🤲
Tnx
Amin my Allah reward us all with jannah ♥️
I'm from somali i do love every human beings living in the earth
do albania and myanmar next
Salam from Philippines 🇵🇭
Another fantastic video.
Thanks brother!
Fascinating history! Love to know the first European Muslim nation.
Rome changed everything for Christians. When we say the Bible has been changed, they get furious. When their own Christian scholars say it’s been altered. Alhumdillah 4 the truth!
Very good explanation! Thank you for that!
As a Bosnian, please do not learn history from religious propagandists. The closeness between Islam and Bogumilism is a little closer than the closeness between Islam and Buddhism
Similarities between Islam and the Church of Bosnia:
Against the symbol of the cross
They did not celebrate the saints
Against icons (questionable)
Differences:
unlike Islam, the Church of Bosnia:
does not recognize the old testament, is against building a place of worship, Dualism Belief that there are two Gods in the world, the God of evil and the God of good, Gnosticism (the material world is ruled by the Evil God),
The question of Jesus:
The problem is that the sources are very scarce, but most likely he was considered an Angel and not a Man. That is, Jesus is an Angel who took human form and came to save us from evil matter
thats why they are similar but still different bogumils still followed Jesus and bible because they were translating it to some point of understanding and they knew how to pray and what not to eat or drink there are big differences of course but there are still similarities because Jesus or Isa AS was in the end a Muslim but people added to his words what he didn't say for their own desires to fulfil...
It has deep roots and its highly influenced by Ostrogothic Arianism (during Eastern Germanic - Ostrogothic kingdom rule), eastern Gnosticism by Paulicians and Bogomils and even islamic mysticism (sufism) by eastern traders. There are few muslim names found inscribed on Stećak tombstones like Ahmat and Husan(Hasan) from 12-13 century, way before official Ottoman conquest. Also, Bosnian banate in its early stages was well aware of Islam because it was southern part of Hungarian kingdom where two Hungarian muslim groups (western Böszörmény and eastern Khwarezmians) lived and served during the rule of king Geza II.
How many Bogumils were there in Bosnia before the Ottoman invasion?
@@mariocroatia9321 how many flies is on your porch did you count them ???
@@TheMusan970 What kind of answer is that?Im really interested in number of Bogumils before the Ottoman invasion.I read sources that their number was only a few hundred
Bosnians some of the coolest people I ever met ❤
Ja sam Bosanac i moja je vjera Islam i tako treba da ostane .
Masahallah butiful videos ❤
Made my day❤
May Allah bless the Bosnian Muslims 🎉
Great work, as usual!
So how did the *conversion* of the *Bosnians* differ from that of the *Albanians* ?
All correct...❤ thanks Omar
Bosnia has been under great agression from the two opposing forces of Europe for its whole entirety.
Thanks to the preserverence of its people and some friendly nations it has always succesfully defended itself.
Thank you for making this video and making the unique heritage of my country known to a wider audience. ❤️🇧🇦⚜️
Peace and Love to all the Umma and all believers. La Ilaha Illa lah.
brother omar!! where are you from??
spearhead of Muslim world in Europe. Our brothers.. ❤
Assalamualaikum warakmatullahi wabarakkatuhu too all brotger and sister.

Historians traditionally connected the church with the Bogomils, although this has been challenged and is now rejected by the majority of scholars. Adherents of the church called themselves Dobri Bošnjani ("Good Bosnians"). Bogomilism is from Bulgaria, did not have the same faith as Bosnia. Steci (medieval tombstones) you can only be found in Bosnia, but also some parts of Croatia, Serbia and Montenegro, Bosnia was a little bigger in the Middle Ages. According to the 1971 census, 59,593 stećaks have been preserved in today's Bosnia and Herzegovina, 2,267 in Serbia, 3,407 in Montenegro, and 4,497 in Croatia.
Amazing facts !
Iam proud to be muslim.
The one haplo group that Bosnians have is the i2 one of the oldest haplogroup in Europe and exactly the same Bosnians have so many different religions not only from Muslims, Catholics, Christians, and others too.
Hey bro pls make a video about the Kurds. They are one of the most important yet ignored people of the Ummah.
Allahumma Barik 🙏
This story along with others is against the allegations that Islam was expanded by the sword
Love Bosnia from Indian Muslim ❤
Quick question: are the "bosnian curch" and the "bogomils" interchangeable terms?
No, they were different churches. The Bogomils originally started out in Bulgaria and migrated to Bosnia later
@@OmaroftheOrient but they influenced the bosnian curch in a certain way, did i get that right?
Yes, Bogomilism influenced Bosnian Church at some extent, but many other "heretic" teachings influenced Bosnian Church as well. And followers of Bosnian Church (krstjans) did not pray 5 times a day, as he says. There is no historical record that mentiones that.
@@HL.208yeah i tried finding something about it, but i only found out that they prayed regularly and multiple times a day, but nothing about exactly 5x/day
I'm sure the Assyrians, Armenians and Greeks appreciate the Ottomans tolerance
No, they are ungrateful
@@nosmokejazwinski6297 hes sarcastic
ottomans did the same to arabians, they were racist to everyone.
@@abasedcrusader9663 I’m aware

Love to Bosnia 🇧🇩🖤🇧🇦
Bro can I know where do you live in??
