Sažetak

Hafiz Abdullah Ajni ef. Bušatlić appears in the cultural life of the Muslims from Bosnia and Herzegovina at the end of the XIXth century and the begining of the XXth. He appears not only as a sharia judge and professor in the Sharia Law School, but also as a representative of the Muslims, engaged in ali important cultural and political events. He was one of the initia- tors of the founding of the Muslim educational institutions. He participated in the founding of the journal „Gajret". He belonged to the Muslim intelligentsia active in showing the Muslims the speeific characteristics of their national being stemming from the centuries of living according to Islamic traditions. His contribution to the establishment of the sharia legal terminology is significant, since in the changed historical conditions after the Austro- Hungarian occupation, the official Ottoman language was not used any more. His works „Sharia Court Procedures and Gorresponding Forms" and „Muslim Family Law and Law of Inheritance" should be mentioned in that context. They were indispensable for the sharia judges of that time, since they gave practical Solutions for actual problems.
