Bosnian Muslim Women’s Rituals: Bulas Singing, Reciting and Teaching in
Sarajevo

An educational film by Professor Catharina Raudvere, Copenhagen, and Dr
Zilka Spahić-Šiljak, Sarajevo.

This film presents some Bosnian Muslim women’s commitments as ritual
leaders and their vocal performances. Much of what you will see is specific
for Sarajevo in terms of the style of singing, outfits and ways of
socializing. These rituals have been performed in the city for centuries
and belong to the Muslim history of South-Eastern Europe. Sufi rituals and
ways of devotion have influenced how Islam has been practised in the region
over the centuries.

With formal or informal education, the bulas of Sarajevo have been in
charge of the structure of mevlud and tevhid ceremonies for generations.
Being familiar with the Quran and the literature that praises the Prophet,
these women have the knowledge and authority to compose the framework of a
gathering. Each mevlud and tevhid has its individual character where verses
from the Quran, prayers, blessings and poems are to be chosen in
interaction with the family or organizer, in accordance with the nature of
the occasion.

Today young bulas learn through participating when they receive ritual
assignments from the experienced bulas. In this way they learn to relate to
the Ottoman legacy of the mevlud tradition. By connecting that legacy with
the lives of modern women, they make it relevant to the present time.
