Description Regulatory bodies between the rulers and the ruled have always
existed and probably the case will be the same in the future. In
this context the religions as faith and the related institutions
are referred. Present day Macedonia has been part of this
venture, where all the faiths and ultimately religions have gone
through certain recognized agencies of the state. Beginning
with the Ottoman rule in the region followed by the aftermath
of the Ottomans until the dissolution of the Communist rule of
Yugoslavia, the religion of Islam in Macedonia and its followers
have always been represented by a state organ. Since 1990s
the institution that has played the catalyst role between the
Government of Macedonia and the followers of the religion of
Islam in the country has been distinguishably recognized to be
the Islamic Religious Community. Therefore, this work is going
to analytically describe the role of this institution as a synergy
between the government of Macedonia and the believers of Islam
as well as its relations with various other Muslim institutions.
After having a brief illustration on the history of Muslim
religious representative institution in Macedonia, the focus of
the discussion will be on the core issues of the highest Muslim
religious institution of the country namely the Islamic Religious
Community. As a case study, it will deal with its active role
presumably in protecting the rights of Muslims at all levels.
