- Abstract
By now many researchers of our cultural heritage have written about the Mushaf of Fadil-pasha Serifovic, which is being kept in Gazi Husrev-bey’s library in Sarajevo under the no. Ms. 12 and which was reproduced in phototypic edition in 5000 copies in the printing-house Yildiz in Istanbul, in 2002, but none of them has determined the name of the caligrapher al-Muhagir ad-Dagistani, who completed his copy in 1265/1849. godine. Based on the available sources and literature, notes of the copyist in the manuscript of Mushaf and igaza which was given in 1269/1853 to Fadil-pasha Serifovic by shaikh of nakshibandi sufi order as-sayh Yasin as-Sirwani ad-Dagistani, it can be claimed with certainty that the copyist of Mushaf of Fadil-pasha Serifovic was Ahmad ibn Muhammad al-Muhagir ad-Dagistani al-Makki, who is a descendant of Prophet Muhammad's grandson Husain. He is the writer of the work Mubayyin adab tilawa al-Qur’an, whose autograph is being held in the library al-Asad (former Dar al-kutub az-Zahiriyya) in Damascus under the no. 6136. The copy was finished on 20th ragab 1287 (16th October 1870) in Makka, where he was a permanent resident. Among the inhabitants of Makka he was known under the nickname al-Muhagir ad-Dagistani. He dedicated his work to the Ottoman sultan Abdulaziz (ruled 1861-1876). From the original of Fadil-pasha’s igaza it can be seen that this al-Muhagir ad-Dagistani was the teacher of Fadil-pasha’s teacher as-sayh Yasin as-Sirwani and that he was the shaikh of nakshibandi order in Makka, and that his teacher was as-sayh ‘Abdulhamid as-Sirwani, who wrote numerous works in Arabic. Although there is no information on the place of the copying of Mushaf of Fadil-pasha Serifovic, it can be suggested, according to the place of residence of the copyist al-Muhagir ad-Dagistani, that it could be Makka.
