U radu je dat prikaz života, rada i djelovanja šejha Ahmed-ef. Mešića (1916–1994), šerijatskog sudije, profesora islamskih orijentalnih jezika, kroz kratki prikaz njegove biografije, školovanja i obrazovanja, duhovnog puta i usula koga se pridržavao, sa posebnim osvrtom na njegovu pisanu zaostavštinu i posljednjih pet godina života kada je javno djelovao kao sufijski šejh i mesnevihan. Istaknuti su najvažniji segmenti njegovog rada koji su bili i još uvijek predstavljaju značajan doprinos duhovnom buđenju i obnovi u sredini u kojoj je boravio i radio, ali i mnogo šire izvan tih okvira. Svojom pobožnošću, ponašanjem, intelektualnom djelatnošću, pristupom tesavvufu i tarikatskom djelovanju, izgledom, trudom i radom, dao nam je pouku i trajni obrazac kako musliman u svom vremenu i sredini u kojoj živi i radi treba da suštinski slijedi Kur'an i praksu Muhammeda, sallalahu alejhi ve sellem.

Abstract
This paper presents the life, work, and influence of Sheikh Ahmed effendi Mešić (1916–1994), a Sharia judge and professor of Islamic Oriental languages. It offers a brief overview of his biography, education, spiritual journey, and the usul (methodology) he adhered to, with particular emphasis on his written legacy and the final five years of his life, during which he publicly acted as a Sufi sheikh and Masnavihan. The most significant aspects of his work are highlighted—those that were, and continue to be, an important contribution to spiritual awakening and renewal in the environment in which he lived and worked, as well as far beyond. Through his piety, behavior, intellectual pursuits, approach to tasawwuf (Sufism) and tariqa (Sufi order) activities, appearance, effort, and work, he provided us with a lesson and a lasting model of how a Muslim, in his own time and environment, should essentially follow the Qur’an and the practice of Muhammad, peace be upon him.
