Ismet Muftić

Ismet Muftić (born 1876, Žepče – died 1945, Zagreb) was a Bosnian imam and the first Islamic Mufti of Croatia.

[1] In March 1939 Muftić was one of the founders and vice president of Društvo bosansko-hercegovačkih Hrvata u Zagrebu (Society of the Bosnian-Herzegovinian Croats in Zagreb).

[2] However, after the Independent State of Croatia was formed, the ruling Ustaša party sought to better accommodate the Croatian Muslims.

Muftić and the Muslim community put forth a proposition to turn the Orthodox church on Preradović Square into a mosque.
