Muhamed Hadžijamaković (1814 or 1815 – 25 August 1878) was one of the Bosnian Muslim leaders striving for the Bosnia Vilayet autonomy within the Ottoman Empire in the 1860s and 1870s.

Early life and family[]

Hadžijamaković was born in Sarajevo into a family of Bosniak Janissary descendants. His father's name was Mehmed, but his mother's name is not known. Hadžijamaković had a brother named Sejfaga and two sisters named Nesiba and Hasiba.

He married twice; the first marriage produced two daughters, Umihana and Fatima. The second marriage produced three sons and a daughter.

Austro-Hungarian Empire[]

He ardently opposed the Austro-Hungarian occupation of the Bosnia Vilayet in 1878 and eventually became one of the main organizers of the armed resistance in Sarajevo to the invading Austro-Hungarian Army. He was eventually captured and executed by the Austro-Hungarians.[1]

Works[]

Hadžijamaković wrote a biography of poet Abdulvehab Ilhamija entitled Ilhamija: Život i djelo (Ilhamija: Life and Work).[2]
