Čekrekči Muslihudinova džamija ,poznata kao Čekrekčinica ili Čekrekčijna džamija nalazi se u samom centru Sarajevske stare trgovačke jezgre,u podnožju naselja Kovači. Džamiju je, uvakuvifši značajno imanje, podigao Muslihudin hadži Mustafa,koji je nadimak Čekrekčija dobio jer je pravio čekrke(koloture,vitla).Čekrekčinica je podignuta 1526.godine.

Čekrekči Muslihudin’s Mosque, also known as Čekrekčinica or Čekrekčijina Mosque, is located right in the heart of Sarajevo’s old merchant center, at the base of a hill which comprises the neighborhood, Kovači. The mosque was built by Muslihudin Hajji Mustafa on prime land which he had donated to a vakuf (endowment). Hajji Mustafa was given the nickname, “Čekrekčija”, because he produced čekrke (pulleys and winches). Čekrekčinica was built in 1526 and is the oldest cupolated mosque in Sarajevo. This type of cupola construction, which appears to be quite shallow, was categorized by the historian, Hamdija Kreševljaković, as a type that was to be found in Mimar Hajrudin’s architectural repertoire. The original vakufnama (deed of endowment) about the mosque’s construction dates from August 1526. This document is also the oldest original deed written in Sarajevo. It’s interesting to point out that Čekrekči Mosque is one of only twelve mosques in Sarajevo that went undamaged when Eugene of Savoy sacked the city, and none of the fires that would occur quite often in Sarajevo in centuries past caused damage to it. This mosque is surrounded on three sides by shops and the entire Čekrekči Muslihudin’s Mosque Complex was made a National Monument of Bosnia and Herzegovina in 2004.

A Mustafa Čekrekčija dzsámi Szarajevó legrégebbi kupolás imahelye. 1526-ban épült Muslihudin Hajji Mustafa "Čekrekčija" adományából. A "Čekrekčija" becenév volt, amit Hajji Mustafa a foglakozása után kapott: csigákat és csörlőket gyártott az áruk emeléséhez. A dzsámi alapításán túl még 42 boltot is adományozott az élete végén. A dzsámi felépítéséről rendelkező alapítólevelet a mái napig őrzik az épületben. Egyike annak a tizenkét dzsáminak amik nem sérültek meg Savojay Jenő 1697-es betörésekor és az évszázadok alatt Szarajevóban sűrűn felcsapó tüzek sem károsították soha. 2004 óta Bosznia Hercegovina emlékművei közé tartozik.

Very old mosque. It is very traditional, I was amazed when I saw the old Arabic notes on the inside walls of the mosque. I think the have covered the open area to ensure better heating in the winter 🤔.

Historical Mosque in the old town of Sarejevo Bosnia

The oldest mosque with dome in Sarajevo. The noon prayer is following exact time of taqvim. The mosque with shortest hutba in Sarajevo.
