Addressing those present at Ajvatovica at the 505th Days of Ajvatovica in 2015, the Reisu-l-Ulema of the Islamic Community in BaH Husein ef. Kavazović emphasized the significance of organization of this manifestation and the preservation of its tradition.
“I wish to express my gratitude to the generations of Muslims who have before us, by preserving the memory of this prayer and great God’s friend Ajvaz-dedo, saved for us this spirituality that can be felt only here, at Ajvatovica, and at no other place in B&H. Their hope that they trust us the preservation of this tradition from generation to generation imposes for us an obligation to, with the same flame and the same consciousness as those good Muslims, give our best to preserve Ajvatovica and the memory of Ajvaz-dedo, the greatest Bosnian spiritualist that this country has ever breeded, for our children, the generations that are to come after us, as well as for our yet unborn children”, said Reis Kavazović among other things.
According to the post on the blog Bosnian Magic, "every year in June, thousands of Bosniaks gather at the holy site at Ajvatovica near the village of Prusac. According to legend, Prusac had problems with water supply. Ajvaz-dedo found a water spring near Prusac, but it was blocked with a 74 meters long rock. Ajvaz-dedo spent 40 days praying to Allah to split the rock. On the fortieth morning, following his prayers, Ajvaz-dedo dreamed that two white rams collided and split the rock.
In June 1990 the Islamic Community (IZ), organized a landmark commemoration of the sixteenth-century conversions to Islam in Bosnia.
