What is it really like to quit London and move to a *secular* Muslim city?
Five years of living here, I have seen a lot of changes.

Peace be upon you, sister!

Stay immensely blessed; soul and body together, equating with and enjoying the environment one lives in; Masha'Allah you glow like a light. I've made a couple of MoUs with universities in Turkey; lovely counterparts. I spent 10 years in the US and the UK during my studies, but felt like a fish out of water; the Imperial College London photographer once told me, "you speak good English, but you don't think in English!". This has been my dilemma throughout. I always counsel my faculty and students to stand on their feet and hold their head high up in the air, like proud citizens; if your pride (not arrogance) is gone, half the battle is won by the adversary; I think the Turkish people have this quality.
Love you my elder sister or my mother. We love you only for the sake of Allah… ❤😊
If you are in Istanbul, please go visit Akbaba where you will ask for Sheikh Mehmet Adil , he will console your beautiful soul even more
I am a native of Ethiopia. i have watched many of your interviews that's the process you converted to Islam and you are very much loved by Allah's because of you coming out of the bad life used to have and coming to the life of Islam. I have never been to Turkey but, I have read the history of Ottoman Turkey and I want to come to this country in person.
Best of choice
I used to live in London for long years now I live in turkey and I was so happy to listen to you
Assalamu aleykum, I am converted Muslima from Latvia. I love Turkiye too, I visit Istanbul 3-4 times a year. I love this city so much, miss it. From time to time I think about moving there, but I agree: if you are not married a Turkish citizen, it could be complicated. And after all I lobe my country too. It would be wonderful to make my visits to Turkiye more meaningful, away from touristic pathways, studying our deen, meeting locals and expats!.. Perhaps there are some opportunities for that, aren't they? I would be happy to spend a month or two in the good environment, together with other women from the Western countries. May Allah SWT shows us the way
It is really awesome to hear your words about Turkiye and Istanbul. You remind us all these we don't appreciate because we take them as granted
Masha Allah.
Yes
Jazakamullah khair sister Lauren for this video. It was very helpful❤. May Allah swt accept it. I love Turkiye and especially Istanbul❤
Great 👍 comparison!

Nobody is going back to syria!!!
I like your beautiful statement: "Home is not where the money or the job is.. Home is where your ❤ heart is!"
She's an EMBARRASSMENT to UK ….
RIP to the victims in the Germany Christmas market today.
Mash Allah. You don't look 60.
So proud of you sister Lauren Booth – you are an amazing mentor. Allah bless you in thousandfolds. Ameen.

0:59 Maybe you are unaware of the political happenings! That tiny island still doesn't get off the sun away from its land within the 24 hours!
I hope you visit Baku, Azerbaijan too. It is a very secular country. Turkiye is a great country!
