Izetbegović was born in the town of Bosanski Šamac, situated in the north of Bosnia; he was one of five children born to a distinguished but impoverished family descended from former Ottoman aristocrats from Belgrade who fled to Bosnia after Serbia gained independence from the Ottoman Empire. His grandfather, Alija, was the mayor of Bosanski Šamac. His father, an accountant, declared bankruptcy in 1927 and the family moved to Sarajevo. Izetbegović became closely involved in Bosniak society as he grew up during the 1930s and 1940s. With a devoted family and Muslim upbringing, he received a secular education, eventually graduating from law school in Sarajevo. At this time he also joined the Young Muslims group. During World War II he did not participate in any armed forces.

just coming by to give my salaams. Insha Allah, this day you are having a blessed opportunity to strengthen your deen.

SMILES

Now, the interesting thing about smiles is that they reproduce asexually, so that it only takes one to fill a whole room. Consequently, I now have enough extra to send one to each of you. Please share their offspring with your family, friends and strangers you meet in the street.
