| | + | The Mufti opened two schools as the 'Imam Institute' - for training imams to serve both [[SS]] and regular [[Muslim]] units. The Guben imam school opened on April 21, 1944,<ref name=rubin-on-is>Rubin, Barry., Schwanitz, Wolfgang G.. Nazis, Islamists, and the Making of the Modern Middle East. United Kingdom: Yale University Press, 2014, [https://books.google.com/books?id=UHe9AgAAQBAJ&pg=PA156 pp. 155-6].<blockquote><small>By the end of 1944 this formation included three thousand Muslim SS men. Al-Husaini opened two schools for training imams to serve both SS and regular Muslim units: one in Dresden for Soviet Turkic recruits, and another in Guben for those from the Balkans. Among the teachers in Dresden were Professors Richard Hartmann, sixty-three, of Berlin University and Munich University's Bertold Spuler, thirty-three. |
| | + | They trained forty Turkic Muslim imams at a time for both SS and regular units in six courses lasting two to four weeks each. |
| | + | The Guben imam school opened on April 21, 1944, in ceremonies presided over by al-Husaini and Berger... The graduates were told to preach Islam in their units, bond Germans and Muslims together, and make their soldiers into "good" SS men. The teachers were four more senior Bosnian clerics, the best-known being Husain Sulaiman Djozo, and seventeen younger men. |
| | + | Three of al-Husaini's aides— Shaikh Hasan, Abu as-Saud, and Mustafa al-Wakil—helped with the courses and al-Husaini himself often lectured there too. |
| | + | The school trained fifty SS imams in two courses of four months each.</small></blockquote></ref> at a SS hotel.<ref>Lepre, G.
