He became mufti of the Croatian capital Zagreb in 1917 after the Islamic community was reformed there. His main task was to attempt to build a permanent mosque in the city. Plans to build a mosque at Zelengaj in the 1930s did not succeed, however.
In March 1939 Muftić was one of the founders and vicepresident of Društvo bosansko-hercegovačkih Hrvata u Zagrebu (Society of the Bosnia-Herzegovinian Croats in Zagreb).
In the end, it was decided that the Meštrović Pavilion would take that role. To that effect, three minarets were added to the building.
In 1945, at the end of the Second World War, Muftić was hanged by the Yugoslav Partisans in front of the very mosque which he had sought for nearly three decades. In 1949 the Pavilion"s minarets were taken down, and the building returned to its old usage.
