From Brčko he was transferred to Sarajevo, where he worked as a teacher at the Islamic school Dural-mualimmin. Soon he was elected as a national assembly in Maglaj.

Together with Safvet beg Bašagić and Osman Nuri Hadžić, Mulabdić would be one of the founders and originators of several welfare associations and publications, such as Behar in 1900 and Gajret in 1903.[2][3]
