Biography

Mustafa Ejubović was born into a family of ethnic Bosniaks in the Herzegovinian town of Mostar in 1651. His father Jusuf was a distinguished professor. Young Mustafa taught maktab and madrasa in Mostar before departing for Constantinople to study in 1677.[1] There he listened to lectures on philosophy, astronomy and mathematics. When he graduated, he got a professorship at a lower madrasa in Constantinople, became famous for his lectures, and soon began to teach.[2] Ejubović wrote 27 treatises on logic during his lifetime.[3] In addition to his native Bosnian language, he also spoke Arabic, Turkish and Persian.[4]

Upon his return to Bosnia, Ejubović became the Mufti of Mostar in 1692.[5]

Ejubović died on 16 July 1707 in the city where he grew up, Mostar.[6]

gollark: I determined that given my horrible tendency to devalue medium/long-term stuff automatically anyway I should really not do things which are *actively* awful for me without a very good reason.
gollark: Self-driving cars will definitely be very neat when someone gets them to work mostly independently. Unless stupid lawmakers/etc. require a human constantly there to monitor it.
