Salam,

What is notable is that Turkish Muslims attract a lot of converts whether due to their pro active work outside or because non Muslims being impressed when they visit Turkey. Compare that to dull response when people visit South Asian muslim population or Saudi Arabia.

Perhaps there is barakah in there, Definitely there was a lot of barakah during the some times of the Ottaman empire.



I have been told by Turkish dervişler (murideen) that the Ottomans used to build masaajid in the state of wudhu, according to them this is the reason why one feels more barakah when praying in one of the ancient Ottoman masaajid than praying in the new masaajid which are built by people without wudhu, open-sinners, etc..

And Allah ta'ala knows best.



When Ottomans extended the Masjid of Rasul-ullah (Sallaho Alaihe Wassallam) they had the brick factory setup miles away and everyone who particpated in the project was a Hafidh of Qur'aan.

When Ottomans extended railway line close to the Masjid of Rasul-ullah (Sallaho Alaihe Wassallam) they had tons upon tons of cotton and sound-proofing material buried under the tracks to STOP the noise from disturbing the surrounds of Madinah.

When General Anwar Pasha reached Madinah after the rebellion of Shareef and family of Saud he walked bare feet in hot baking sun and refused to wear shoes and said his Salam upon the Prophet (Sallaho Alaihe Wassallam)'s grave and Shaykh (Maulana) Zakariyya (RA) has described this in his books.

I am a witness to Ulama in Pakistan building small Musallas in their villages and forcing everybody to do Wudhu and ensuring that every single penny is HALAL and everybody participating is a man of Taqwa. Not once, not twice many times I have heard and seen this in Pakistan. In fact it is almost an accepted practise to this day in Pakistan (in villages) for people to do Wudhu and pray when they set the foundations of a Mosque.
