Abstract

Husein Đozo lived in a multicultural, multi-religious, socially, politically, and culturally complex era. By combining old and new ideas, he offered a multifaceted and valuable perspective for Muslims living in Yugoslavia. In these perspectives, he aimed to address the needs of contemporary humanity and provide practical solutions for Muslims living under difficult circumstances. He has two fundamental principles: first, returning to the Quran and the Sunnah—that is, striving to correctly understand their original messages—and second, using these two sources to meet the needs of contemporary life. Husein Đozo aimed to question, not remain confined to traditional boundaries, and always emphasized that the door to ijtihad remains open.
