Sažetak

The Merhemić family moved to Sarajevo from Merhemija near Neve- sinje at the begining of the XVIIIth century around 1812. The most prominent figure of this respectable family was, without any doubt Hadži Mujaga Merhemić. He was born in Sarajevo on January 4th, 1877 where he spent his entire life as an outstanding merchant, thinker and translator from Arabic and Persian, but above all a great humanist and philantrophist. His house was the center of Science, and there the Qur’an and the Hadis were discussed, as well as the works from literature in Persian.
Throughout his whole life Hadži Mujaga Merhemić was closely con- nected to religion, education and trade. He was a modest and reserved person, his actions spoke more than his words. This is how the late Fejzulah Hadžibajrić deseribed Hadži Mujaga Merhemić:
„He regularly went to džemat, was very pleasant when meeting someone, inquiring about ones health and family. He wished everyone well, never slandered anyone, was happy for all who fared well, and he had all the other virtues of a good man. For decades he received learned and pious men in his house. For almost fifty years he organized feasts for the new hafizes and gave them presents."

Hadži Mujaga Merhemić died on March 23rd, 1959. Hafiz Ibrahim ef. Proho was the one to lead the bunial prayer and he was burried in the Hambina Carina graveyard in Sarajevo.
