The Muslihudin Čekrekčija Mosque, also known as Čaršijska, is a mosque located in the Baščaršija area of Sarajevo, in Bosnia and Herzegovina.[1] Constructed in 1526,[2] it is the second oldest domed in the city, situated at the foot of Kovač (in the city's old trading centre).
History
[edit]The mosque was built in the mahala of Isa-Bey's era. From the vakufnam of the founder of the mosque, Hajji Mustafa, the son of Ishak, is known to the people as Muslihudin Čekrekčija, her builder. This is also the oldest known original document written in Sarajevo.
In the vakufnam, in connection with the establishment and construction of the mosque, it was written:
When a man dies, his work comes to an end, except for three things: the knowledge and skills he used, the good child who prays for him, and his enduring sadaqa [good deeds].
— translated by Mehmed Handžić.[3]
In November 2004 the mosque was listed as a National Monument of Bosnia and Herzegovina.[4]
Today[when?] its links to its commercial past remain, as it is surrounded by shops.
