I'm sorry to inform you, but in East Sarajevo (where predominantly Bosnian Serbs live), you’ve likely eaten non-halal food. Their ćevapi often contain pork. So, here's a message for all Muslims visiting Sarajevo: it’s best to eat only in areas of Bosnia where Bosniak Muslims reside.
Just a little bit of a clarification, landmines are clearly marked with red warning signs. It's not like a minesweeper that you will step on one so easily. Source: I'm Bosnian and a hiker.

You're absolutely wrong with them trying to assert some kind of dominace with pork in food. If you find respectable and trusted Restaurants that won't happen as they prepare the dishes following the recipes @@girl_from_the_north_country

Assalamualaikum Warahmatullah Wabarakatuh. Hi ✋🏽 Bro, ur Born Muslim or Revert? Im a Revert in South India 🇮🇳. I lost all my childhood friends, relatives, parents. Feeling like an orphan.
@@choolaimedudude6284 Walaikumasalaam my brother I’m also a revert so I can understand slightly your story never forget my brother we have eachother and we have the rest of the ummah and Allah. I pray always that Allah strengths the ummah to grow and reunite as family ❤️
@@IslamlewisThank you for the Kind Response 🙏🏽. My new name is Razif Khan. I haven't been to Abroad. Here in India 🇮🇳, asking to keep my name as Khan itself was a bottleneck at the Masjid. As they were telling that im tagged to the Tamil Muslim Clan. As my Mother Tongue is Tamil and Tamil Muslims should not keep name as Khan. Khan is for Urdu Muslim Clan. I said that I'm a Revert. I don't want ur Born Muslim Rivalry 🙏🏽. Sad 😔, but I'm Brown Skinned. I got thrown out of Masjids in North India. Just like in English Grammer - Pick the Odd ones out. While my work visit to North India. While entering the Masjid, i was halted & questioned. I said I'm South Indian (Tamil). They told Sorry, please leave. If i try friendship with Old Greys in our Masjid, i won't give my daughter's hand to you for Nikkah. Ur a Revert, u must have had a Rockstar ⭐🤟🏽😜 Past. So, i Stopped 🚫 talking to anyone. How are Born Muslims Relationship with Reverts in West? Are they all Cool/Friendly? Reverts don't need Material Things from Born Muslims. Just a Friendly Warmth. For guys, who revert due to their Lady Love ❤️ being Muslim is easy. But for singles like me, who revert just for the sake of Allah 🤲🏽. Lost everyone of childhood. My folks told don't even come for our funeral. Here, so much hate for Muslims. Hindutva (RSS) fanatics Kill Muslims. They gave open statement that they will kill anyone having long beards & buzzcut hairstyle. Many Born Muslims in my masjid did Clean Shave like Pastors 😂. That's when i started to shave my head & grow long beard 😁👍🏽. The lowest point was when a Old Grandpa advised me that no one respects ur Tamil Muslim Clan. You learn Urdu & act like ur an Urdu Muslim Clan. Then, he mocked ur Dark 😏, they will find out easily. May be I'm unlucky having the Bad Dudes around me.
Serbs were not attacking "Bosnian" lands , we are born in the territory of Bosnia and were defending our homes , bosnians are a person born in Bosnia, muslims declarednthemselves bosniaks in 1993, this is why many have the impression that serbs are some invaders, we are not, you have a clear bias because you are muslims but it's ok we are used to it...Ps. Serbs are orthodox christians and before the war half of Sarajevo was serbs, around 160 000 people. Today there is 5000... weird that" attackers" left the city and were pushed out of their homes. 😂
Assalamu Alaykum brother, I advice to always eat in Muslim majority parth of Bosnia and to look for halal certificated meat. Some fast foods don't have halal certificate but they use halal meat,so you can ask if they use halal certificated meat if you don't see halal certificate on doors or somwhere in room. That is what I do.
@@anwarqadri336 absolutely the name is apartmani Dobrinja just a quick note though it’s semi far from the centre so if you’re wanting to do a lot you’ll be paying a lot for taxis unless you’re renting a whip
Sarajevo does have a muslim majority, but is far away from muslim capital of Europe. It is actually London that has more muslims than Sarajevo has inhabitants. Yet, there are not "that kind" of muslims, but that's a story for another day. To make a proper video on this, you should spent a longer time there and became familiar with a big picture.
Yeah but London is not a Muslim capital, it just has a lot of Muslims. Out of all capitals in Europe, only 3 are majority Muslims. Those are Sarajevo, Tirana and Priština. Saying London is a Muslim capital because it has more Muslims than some actually majority Muslim capitals is like saying India is a Muslim country because it has more Muslims than Jordan, for example.
Alejkummuselam when yuo go to"baščarši" it is where the pigeons are,look for "buregđinica" and order "burek" it is tradicional pastry with ground beef ,search the internet for images and eselamualejkum.
Walaikumasalaam brother I genuinely wish so bad I saw this around the time I arrived. inshallah we can stay in touch and create something beautiful in the future please feel free to message me on Instagram and we can plan something for the future inshallah. Unfortunately as I type this I’m on my way home to the U.K.
@@Islamlewis No problem my brother. We can always arrange something. I'm a bit more familiar with the history here so I can talk about it in detail due to my job.
Brother, you stayed in my neighborhood and I can tell you with certainty that you were in the wrong place, that part of Sarajevo is a Christian part and there are no halal restaurants there. The building you show with the bullet holes is the border from there further down the river is the majority Muslim population and halal restaurants and along the river is the 99% Christian part without a mosque and halal restaurants. Brothers and sisters, do your research better when you come to Bosnia and Herzegovina, there is a majority Muslim population, but there are parts that are not and you will not easily find halal food there.
Honestly Bosnia was an almost last minute trip for me and I came here to learn about Bosnia along the way it’s only in the last few days my eyes have really opened to what is happening in Bosnia. With that being said you are correct it’s important to research as I didn’t research my area but I found out once I had started staying here. Asalaamualaykum akhi thank you for your comment and advice for other Muslim
Sarajevo Muslim city bro rlly ? 😂 do you now what is a Muslim city ? Go out from this old Ottoman Town , and go to a Supermarket , you will find more Pork as in London!
Brother, you shouldn't have eaten cevaps there, you went to the Bosnian entity where mostly Serbian Orthodox live (Eastern Sarajevo) next to the whole of Sarajevo, which is full of restaurants. So you haven't tried real Sarajevo cevaps. The next time you come, try the real Sarajevo cevaps at bascarsija.
Yeah that’s good advice to be fair but looking back at the footage I saw men praying behind him so o think that they just close the mosque at a set time and you can pray outside
i am from Sarajevo and its not The Muslin Capital of Europe and that is going to be past as all 6-7 religions, but as all normal people knows religion is biggest lie. Best regards to all normal people.
Assalamualaikum brother. Just some friendly advice: Dont eat at these supermarkets, it's questionable meat and not home cooking. Also ćevapi, you must eat at Baščaršija in a somun bread with onion and kajmak ( sour cream). That's traditional and you dont eat ćevapi like a sandwich. Plus dont eat kebabs, burgers and this food in Bosnia... that's usually stuff cooked for and by foreigners. Also youre going to all the tourist traps and missed a lot of historical places. Main thing is, do some research before you go to a place if you genuinely want to do good content. You're saying a lot of wrong things and providing misleading information, or no information at all.
@@itsarmink alhamdulilah I didn’t buy it aha I thought the price was too high! Also I love your country and inshallah these videos encourage more people to come and see the beauty of the land
One of my dreams is to visit old Muslim communities in Bosnia and Albania + The Hui Muslims in china they're being Muslims from the first century of Islam One of the friends of the prophet travelled there and he teachs Islam to the hui Muslims and they accepted it I have been searching for them They have such an incredible culture I want to understand also what are their interpretations of Quran My love and respect to all Muslim communities around the world one day I will visit them Inshallah 😔♥️ My Greatest from Yemen and Saudi Arabia ✋🌹
That food portion he got in the first restaurant is definitely not the usual example of food served here, it's usually better. It's a pity he didn't try cevapi in the Old town.
Bro's buying doner in Sarajevo 🤦🏼♂ insted of pita and cevapi. Those cevapi you ate are not Sarajevo Baščaršija (bash-char-shee-ya) cevapi but some regular restaurant in so called East Sarajevo, A 2SERBIAN2 sARAJEVO which has nothing to do with the actual capital of BiH Sarajevo. The city emerged after the aggression war from provincial settlements of the capital.
@@Islamlewis Right on bro 👍 Sarajevo has really good chevapi. In average good chunk better than chevapi elsewhere in the country. Don't get me wrong, maybe the chevapi you ate were good and you can eat ok chevapi almost everywhere, but I doubt it's same quality as those in Baščaršija. We have doner kebab places but doner never made it in Bosnia at all. No competition, no quality. It's the last thing I'd eat in Bosnia as a tourist. And welcome to Bosnia brother in faith and salam from northern part of the country.

@@megamasa1117 don’t take everything literal please these videos are directed towards a Muslim audience and since Bosnia is majority Muslim population the title leads towards that.
All the best! ☺️ thanks for the comment
That's the truth for the capital. Even the Jews are the leaders in some municipalities (Novo Sarajevo) for instance.
Fuck Serbia
Hey I also got "triggered" by the title but I realised it's made by a channel that's based on Islam so it's directed toward Muslims mostly. I'm a Muslim from BiH

Cevapi In city of Travnik are the best, restaurant called "Hari" and always take the onion to break the grease 😂 mashAllah never eaten anything better ✌️
Assalamualaikum Warahmatullah Wabarakatuh. Hi ✋🏽 Bro, ur Born Muslim or Revert? Im a Revert in South India 🇮🇳. I lost all my childhood friends, relatives, parents. Feeling like an orphan.
Now your brothers are Mohammed (Peace be upon him)Ebu Bakar,Umar,Uthman,Ali!
@@choolaimedudude6284 Walaikumasalaam my brother I’m also a revert so I can understand slightly your story never forget my brother we have eachother and we have the rest of the ummah and Allah. I pray always that Allah strengths the ummah to grow and reunite as family ❤️
@@IslamlewisThank you for the Kind Response 🙏🏽. My new name is Razif Khan. I haven't been to Abroad. Here in India 🇮🇳, asking to keep my name as Khan itself was a bottleneck at the Masjid. As they were telling that im tagged to the Tamil Muslim Clan. As my Mother Tongue is Tamil and Tamil Muslims should not keep name as Khan. Khan is for Urdu Muslim Clan. I said that I'm a Revert. I don't want ur Born Muslim Rivalry 🙏🏽. Sad 😔, but I'm Brown Skinned. I got thrown out of Masjids in North India. Just like in English Grammer - Pick the Odd ones out. While my work visit to North India. While entering the Masjid, i was halted & questioned. I said I'm South Indian (Tamil). They told Sorry, please leave. If i try friendship with Old Greys in our Masjid, i won't give my daughter's hand to you for Nikkah. Ur a Revert, u must have had a Rockstar ⭐🤟🏽😜 Past. So, i Stopped 🚫 talking to anyone. How are Born Muslims Relationship with Reverts in West? Are they all Cool/Friendly? Reverts don't need Material Things from Born Muslims. Just a Friendly Warmth. For guys, who revert due to their Lady Love ❤️ being Muslim is easy. But for singles like me, who revert just for the sake of Allah 🤲🏽. Lost everyone of childhood. My folks told don't even come for our funeral. Here, so much hate for Muslims. Hindutva (RSS) fanatics Kill Muslims. They gave open statement that they will kill anyone having long beards & buzzcut hairstyle. Many Born Muslims in my masjid did Clean Shave like Pastors 😂. That's when i started to shave my head & grow long beard 😁👍🏽. The lowest point was when a Old Grandpa advised me that no one respects ur Tamil Muslim Clan. You learn Urdu & act like ur an Urdu Muslim Clan. Then, he mocked ur Dark 😏, they will find out easily. May be I'm unlucky having the Bad Dudes around me.
Don’t worry bro, I’ve been to the place you had the first meal and it is halal. I asked when I went.
@@DoPositiveUKthank you so much because I was genuinely worrying about it after like I wish I had just asked. Appreciate that a lot bro 🤝
@@Islamlewis Salaam, my pleasure. And you’re right about the smokers. I moved tables 3 times to get as far away from the smoke smell as possible.
Serbs were not attacking "Bosnian" lands , we are born in the territory of Bosnia and were defending our homes , bosnians are a person born in Bosnia, muslims declarednthemselves bosniaks in 1993, this is why many have the impression that serbs are some invaders, we are not, you have a clear bias because you are muslims but it's ok we are used to it...Ps. Serbs are orthodox christians and before the war half of Sarajevo was serbs, around 160 000 people. Today there is 5000... weird that" attackers" left the city and were pushed out of their homes. 😂
Assalamu Alaykum brother, I advice to always eat in Muslim majority parth of Bosnia and to look for halal certificated meat. Some fast foods don't have halal certificate but they use halal meat,so you can ask if they use halal certificated meat if you don't see halal certificate on doors or somwhere in room. That is what I do.
Brother can you provide the details for apartment
@@anwarqadri336 absolutely the name is apartmani Dobrinja just a quick note though it’s semi far from the centre so if you’re wanting to do a lot you’ll be paying a lot for taxis unless you’re renting a whip
Bro pls check for hidden cams in your room, May Allah protect and bless you
@@jamesali76 Ameen akhi and the same for you 🤝
Sarajevo does have a muslim majority, but is far away from muslim capital of Europe. It is actually London that has more muslims than Sarajevo has inhabitants. Yet, there are not "that kind" of muslims, but that's a story for another day.
To make a proper video on this, you should spent a longer time there and became familiar with a big picture.
Yeah but London is not a Muslim capital, it just has a lot of Muslims. Out of all capitals in Europe, only 3 are majority Muslims. Those are Sarajevo, Tirana and Priština. Saying London is a Muslim capital because it has more Muslims than some actually majority Muslim capitals is like saying India is a Muslim country because it has more Muslims than Jordan, for example.
Tell me you visited the tunnel of life 🙏 plz tell me
Selam Alleykum❤, hope you visit us again
@@car_guy-p7i Walaikumasalaam and that is definitely in my plans inshallah I must bring my wife here to see Bosnia 🇧🇦
16:33 lol i wonder if something like that would ever happen European saying to a european u muslim ?
Every food in Sarajevo and other cities that are Muslim majority, is halal
👍🏻
Bro when you eat čevapi you eat with only 3 fingers ,hadith eat with only 3 fingers dont mess all hands good luck in here in bosnia and selam.
@@Štajaznam-z3o thank you so much! Appreciate the guidance and kind words Walaikumasalaam
Alejkummuselam when yuo go to"baščarši" it is where the pigeons are,look for "buregđinica" and order "burek" it is tradicional pastry with ground beef ,search the internet for images and eselamualejkum.
Lewis salam! I live in Sarajevo, I'm a tourist guide and a TH-camr. If you'd like to make a video, I'm up for it.
Walaikumasalaam brother I genuinely wish so bad I saw this around the time I arrived. inshallah we can stay in touch and create something beautiful in the future please feel free to message me on Instagram and we can plan something for the future inshallah.
Unfortunately as I type this I’m on my way home to the U.K.
@@Islamlewis No problem my brother. We can always arrange something. I'm a bit more familiar with the history here so I can talk about it in detail due to my job.
What are all these Arabic/Muslim words you inject perpetually in this video? I’m Roman Catholic and happy so.
Zivela Titova Jugoslavija
uvek brate jugoslavija
Sarajevo is expensive like Paris. good luck
Brother, you stayed in my neighborhood and I can tell you with certainty that you were in the wrong place, that part of Sarajevo is a Christian part and there are no halal restaurants there. The building you show with the bullet holes is the border from there further down the river is the majority Muslim population and halal restaurants and along the river is the 99% Christian part without a mosque and halal restaurants. Brothers and sisters, do your research better when you come to Bosnia and Herzegovina, there is a majority Muslim population, but there are parts that are not and you will not easily find halal food there.
Honestly Bosnia was an almost last minute trip for me and I came here to learn about Bosnia along the way it’s only in the last few days my eyes have really opened to what is happening in Bosnia.
With that being said you are correct it’s important to research as I didn’t research my area but I found out once I had started staying here.
Asalaamualaykum akhi thank you for your comment and advice for other Muslim
Sarajevo Muslim city bro rlly ? 😂 do you now what is a Muslim city ? Go out from this old Ottoman Town , and go to a Supermarket , you will find more Pork as in London!
M8 it’s still a Muslim city and also there are non Muslims in Bosnia
Muslim majority city
I think u don't know definition of Muslim country lol
in sarajevo everything is halal, but the place where you staying at is not halal
Why it is not halal?
Brother, you shouldn't have eaten cevaps there, you went to the Bosnian entity where mostly Serbian Orthodox live (Eastern Sarajevo) next to the whole of Sarajevo, which is full of restaurants. So you haven't tried real Sarajevo cevaps. The next time you come, try the real Sarajevo cevaps at bascarsija.
If anybody is suspecting you as a non muslim , just recite the Shahada as a muslim world wide ID ...
Yeah that’s good advice to be fair but looking back at the footage I saw men praying behind him so o think that they just close the mosque at a set time and you can pray outside
@@Islamlewis Probably was just a tradition or a rule not to enter the prayer hall at that time ...
@@Islamlewisyes, non Muslims can enter as long as they're dressed accordingly, except during the prayer times
Never heard of? Is this a joke? It's one of the most known cities in the world LOL
Not really known unless you're European or good with history/geography.
i am from Sarajevo and its not The Muslin Capital of Europe and that is going to be past as all 6-7 religions, but as all normal people knows religion is biggest lie. Best regards to all normal people.
All of Sarajevo is within the Federation and not in Republika Srpska
Assalamualaikum brother. Just some friendly advice: Dont eat at these supermarkets, it's questionable meat and not home cooking. Also ćevapi, you must eat at Baščaršija in a somun bread with onion and kajmak ( sour cream). That's traditional and you dont eat ćevapi like a sandwich. Plus dont eat kebabs, burgers and this food in Bosnia... that's usually stuff cooked for and by foreigners. Also youre going to all the tourist traps and missed a lot of historical places. Main thing is, do some research before you go to a place if you genuinely want to do good content. You're saying a lot of wrong things and providing misleading information, or no information at all.
As a Bosnian im so ashamed anyone hardly knows English🤦🏻
Also the fake kit you bought for 20 pounds is crazy there shops selling it for 10-15 easly.
@@itsarmink alhamdulilah I didn’t buy it aha I thought the price was too high!
Also I love your country and inshallah these videos encourage more people to come and see the beauty of the land
@@Islamlewis oh you didnt, real ones are 60 euros fakes are like 10.
Hope you come again.

One of my dreams is to visit old Muslim communities in Bosnia and Albania + The Hui Muslims in china they're being Muslims from the first century of Islam One of the friends of the prophet travelled there and he teachs Islam to the hui Muslims and they accepted it I have been searching for them They have such an incredible culture I want to understand also what are their interpretations of Quran My love and respect to all Muslim communities around the world one day I will visit them Inshallah 😔♥️

Bosnia is NOT a muslim country and Sarajevo is NOT a muslim city.
It is, stay mad
@@vanzemaljac-110 Nah,it isn't. Muslims cover small central area,majority area is not dominated by Muslims
@thefm5660 says who? Statistic shows there is more then 50% Muslims in Bosnia
I think It’s mistake 🇷🇸☦
Interesting sightseeing but the food looks 🤢!
That food portion he got in the first restaurant is definitely not the usual example of food served here, it's usually better. It's a pity he didn't try cevapi in the Old town.
U choose the worst place to eat.
Bro's buying doner in Sarajevo 🤦🏼♂ insted of pita and cevapi.
Those cevapi you ate are not Sarajevo Baščaršija (bash-char-shee-ya) cevapi but some regular restaurant in so called East Sarajevo, A 2SERBIAN2 sARAJEVO which has nothing to do with the actual capital of BiH Sarajevo. The city emerged after the aggression war from provincial settlements of the capital.
@@kolobara08 inshallah tomorrow I’ll try the proper chevapi 🤲 I didn’t realise it wasn’t the real deal
@@Islamlewis Right on bro 👍 Sarajevo has really good chevapi. In average good chunk better than chevapi elsewhere in the country. Don't get me wrong, maybe the chevapi you ate were good and you can eat ok chevapi almost everywhere, but I doubt it's same quality as those in Baščaršija.
We have doner kebab places but doner never made it in Bosnia at all. No competition, no quality. It's the last thing I'd eat in Bosnia as a tourist.
And welcome to Bosnia brother in faith and salam from northern part of the country.
Assalamualaikum brother, ❤️ from South India. First time got youtube recommendation .. and I'm subscribed, try to visit india and welcome to my place Malabar, kerala, 1st masjid in Indian subcontinent is in kerala malabar region known us cheraman juma masjid, second oldest masjid in Indian subcontinent also in kerala that is in kasergod malik deenar masjid, and you can try here arab south indian mixed food also western food's Chinese foods etc with beutiful nature.
We have some problem mainly india becoming hindu version of israel in south asia... Rss hindutva extrem!st organisation and they're government doing muslim genociide in india also violence against Christians Sikh happening in india all this doing rss hindutva and government.. kerala and south india comparatively ok .. but Kerala is the state with most rss hindutva unit's and rss dividing peoples here too and spreading Islamophobia.
3rd largest muslim living country but Muslim's living with genocidde threat and fear... Hindutva rss spreading 60%+ Islamophobia around the world they are ally of Israel Zionismm same time Hitler is they're hero... Rss hindutva is a combined version of Hinduism Atheism facismm.
Walaikumasalaam bro thanks for taking the time to comment and India is definitely a country I’m interested in visiting in the future so inshallah I will look into it more and I always love to visit the mosques of wherever I go
@@Islamlewismashallah always welcome and try to visit Malabar - kerala, south india,

the muslim capitol of Europe?... THe muslim capital AT ALL?
listen kid, my name is Senad (Šerif) Semiz,, I'm a Bosnian and you are just confused kid which have misunderstood everything!... Both islam and Bosnia!
Regarding your lovely comment I have nothing bad to say in return I love Bosnia and the stories I tell are from the people I speak with and hear.
Muslim capital is the title for the video yes as Bosnia is the highest percentage population for Muslims in Europe which is a fact.
You may disagree which is fine.
All the best senad semiz 👍
@@Islamlewismy brother in Islam, unfortunately there are many “confused” Bosnians who are only culturally Muslim and still have remnants of communist atheistic indoctrination in them and sometimes they feel the need to post comments like this. Those should be ignored. Everybody who has common sense knows exactly what you meant by the title. Salam from Bosnia ✌🏼
Smiri se sa komentarom, momak nije "kid" . I ja sam pogrešno shvatio naslov pa sam skontao da je Musliman i da je sadržaj uglavnom namjenjen toj publici. Ne budi seljačina sa tako nadmenim tonom, samo fino napiši.
@@turnoff7572 za mene je kid i to baš kao što sam napisao - zbunjeni klinac.. i zaboli mene qraz šta ti jesi ili nisi shvatio, jer si potpuno nebitan u ovoj priči. Poenta je da niti je BiH muslimanska država, niti je Sarajevo muslimanska prestolnica. Meni takva sranja smetaju, a nije me briga šta drugi shvataju ili ne shvataju..

I doubt you are educated on Islam. you're probably the same type of guy who drinks rakija on a Friday night.
