The Islamic Community of Montenegro ( Montenegrin and Bosnian: Islamska Zajednica u Crnoj Gori or IZCG, Albanian: Bashkësia Islame në Malin e Zi) is an independent religious organization of Muslims in Montenegro, [1] established as Muftiate of Montenegro in 1878. [2] The headquarter of the community is in Podgorica and the current leader, titled Reis, is Rifat Fejzić. [3]
History
Montenegro, under Nicholas I, expanded its territories after the Montenegrin–Ottoman War of 1876–1878 and was internationally recognized in 1878 by the Treaty of Berlin as an independent nation. The newly acquired lands had a large Muslim population, and the provisions of Treaty of Berlin guaranteed Muslims in Montenegro the freedom of religion and the right of religious endowment ( waqf) property. [4] In 1878, with the approval of Shaykh al-Islām, the first Mufti of Montenegro Salih Efendi Huli was chosen. [2]
Structure
Islamic Community is divided into 13 Councils of Islamic Community: Bar, Berane, Bijelo Polje, Dinoša, Gusinje, Ostros, Petnjica, Plav, Pljevlja, Rožaje, Tuzi, Ulcinj and Podgorica.
