Muftis

The first to lead the Islamic Community in Montenegro was Haxhi Salih-effendi Huli, from Ulcinj, born in Shkodra. In 1878, King Nicholas, with the consent of the Sheikh-ul-Islam from Constantinople, appointed him Mufti of Muslims in Montenegro, with the seat of administration in Ulcinj, giving him “full authority to judge Muslims according to the Sharia as it was during the Turkish era”.

Due to disagreements with the prince’s authorities, Huli left the position of Mufti and moved to Shkodra in 1883. The second Mufti who headed the Islamic Community in Montenegro was the muderis of Constantinople Haxhi Mustafa Hilmi-effendi, born in Tikvesh, Bulgaria, who was appointed by the Supreme Meshihat of Constantinople. His appointment followed at the request of King Nicholas in 1887.

The new Mufti came to Ulcinj and then, at the request of King Nicholas, was transferred to Podgorica. Due to his temperament, he often had disagreements with the authorities. He believed that in some religious provisions the government had exceeded its authority, implementing Sharia, so he asked for a three-month leave, went to Constantinople, from where he did not want to return.

The third Mufti in line was Murteza-effendija Karagjuzovic, born in Tivar. He was appointed to this position on 20 June 1912. The seat of the muftiship was moved from Podgorica to Old Town. With the unification of Serbia and Montenegro in 1918, and the subsequent Legal Provisions of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes in 1922, Mufti Karagjuzović retired and the muftiship was transferred to Belgrade.
