Islam's spread in Bosnia began during Ottoman rule (15th-19th centuries). Several factors contributed, including tax incentives for converts, the social mobility offered within the Ottoman system, and the appeal of Sufi mysticism. Bosnian nobles, seeking to preserve their status, often converted. Over time, Islam became a significant part of Bosnia's cultural and religious landscape, shaping its unique identity and distinguishing it from its Orthodox and Catholic neighbors. #IslamInBosnia #Bosni
