    As a Muslim, I can tell that there is no difference between living in Turkey or in europe as a Muslim. Maybe Europe is much better because no one attacks you just because of your religion. Do not imagine Turkey as an Islamic country. Most Turks are secular and they hate you, especially if you are a foreigner.
    And Turkey is also a politically dangerous country. It is uncertain when and which event will occur. No one should be surprised if a civil war suddenly breaks out one day, as in Syria. It is a country that is politically very tense, stressful and prone to crisis. There are too many people who hate each other.
    I don't think it's a good choice Turkey for hijrah.

      Don't get any advice from these outsiders. They have little to no understanding of what's going on in the country and any matter that profoundly impacts your daily routine there. Turkey is going through a massive socioeconomic crisis (see Kayseri riots just a few weeks ago). Simply moving to a country because the exchange rate favors you will certainly leave you with unpleasant memories. Kindly note that only 15-20% of Turks speak English. Inflation is officially above 70%. Turks are increasingly becoming disgruntled towards migrants. Make sure you do your due diligence thoroughly. There are far better options than Turkey if you wish to settle somewhere as a foreigner.
