Asalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah. Bismillah al-Rahman al-Raheem.
Honoured brethren.
I live in Northern Europe and we Muslims are facing more and more opression here, and they are making laws against women convering themselves with niqab (soon maybe hijab also) etc., so I considered making hijra to Turkey where you can hear the adhaan and women can be covered properly and it will be better for my family maybe. Why Turkey? Because I understand Turkish fine, and I know the economy is doing well, so it's easy for me to settle as an engineer. Also it's more stable and beautiful than many other places in the Muslim world, and the climate is much better than many other places. So if I can find a good area in Turkey, that would in sha Allah be good.
I know some parts of Turkey are very bad. Many secularists, nationalists, modernists, alevis etc. in some cities.
So my question:
What cities in Turkey do you recommend me to settle in?
Preferably a city and not a small village because I need to consider workplaces and universities and schools for children etc. but at the same time an area where people follow Ahlus Sunnah wa'l jammah with the understanding of salaf us salih.
Where do most of the salafis in Turkey live?
BarakAllahu Feekum.
