At the collective level, the Mission of the Faculty is to contribute to the development of society by constantly advancing education, learning and research towards the highest levels of scientifically established excellence. This is especially visible in our authentic study of Islam through the perspective of contemporary impartial and scientifically objective thinking and science. We are striving to achieve these objectives through introducing students to the basic sources of Islam, the Qur’an and the Sunnah, as well as to their historical realizations through Islamic thought and practice, especially with respect to the religious and cultural features of the Balkans.
With its historical background expressed in the architectural solution of its building, the Faculty of Islamic Studies in Sarajevo represents a symbol of the encounter and mutual intertwining of cultures of the European and Islamic worlds. Hence, at this Faculty we strive to study the civilisational and cultural heritage not only of Islam, but also of the West. We recognize that knowledge in the Humanities and Social Sciences is a vital part of the mission of humanism, which promotes better understanding among peoples, religions and cultures.

Inspired by Islamic imperatives to promote knowledge and continue a centuries-long tradition of higher Islamic education in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Faculty of Islamic Studies in Sarajevo strives, through the integration of traditional and contemporary Islamic disciplines, to strengthen its leading position within the European academic space.
