Is there anyone here from turkey who can tell us whats happening :/
Narrated Jubair ibn Mut’im: The Messenger of Allah (S.A.W), said: "He is not one us who calls for `Asabiyah, (nationalism/tribalism) or who fights for `Asabiyah or who dies for `Asabiyah." [Sunan Abu Dawud (Vol. 2, pg. 753) No. 5121]

There seems to be no rest or peace in the world, especially the Muslim world. I was glad that Turkey at least was relatively turmoil-free in the Muslim world, despite Daesh's attacks, but now it seems it isn't.
I honestly don't know what's happening in the world. It's like one bad news hits and a person is still trying to digest that bad news when a second worse news comes in and you're still left processing the first and now also having to deal with the second.
Does anyone have a website or a link to follow this news or anything?

I dont think we are ever going to be able to digest anything that's happening in the world.
So much is happening across the globe with wars, poverty, famine, oppression, terror, i dont think there is one place actually free of any of this its becoming that bad.

So if this happens and follows through, is this a good thing or a bad thing (honestly dont know what to think )

it's a good thing......while Erdogan has done great things for the country like turning Turkey into an economic power and lifting the ban on headscarves, he has, over the years, turned into a tyrant, despot, and dictator. Trust me, I'm Turkish, I would know.

There was a ban on headscarves
In sha Allah no one gets hurt, too much destruction & deaths are happening

Too late - too many people in Istanbul are dying already. And the military is driving its tanks throughout the streets.
I used to live in Turkey myself when I was a little child due to my father's job. So, I have sympathies for this country as well, though I'm not Turkish. This is not good news - Erdogan was a strong Muslim leader in a Muslim world full of ineffectual and weak Muslim leaders. There had been lots of propaganda against him and he'd held his own and actually Turkey had become a stronger nation under his leadership.
Turkey is now going to flail under military leadership and if you actually think the government was turning into a dictatorship under Erdogan, then you have no idea of what true dictatorship is and now you're about to find out the difference.

Im afraid you don't know at all, especially if you think this coup is a good thing. May Allah make their attempts unsuccessful. Aameeen!
So is there any reasoning behind why this coup happened,
Did something happen to cause this
(Sorry i dont know any tukish politics so im honestly clueless)

Erdogan has an Islamist-orientated politics, while Turkey's constitution says it is to be a secular state, with complete separation of Church and State, and also, Erdogan has cracked down on free speech and shut down media companies and sent hundreds to prison for "insulting" him (including a thirteen year old child) and turned Turkey into an authoritarian police state with few civil liberties......historically, the military has staged coups to ensure that Turkey does not turn Islamist......this goes back to when Mustafa Kemal (known as "Ataturk" or father of the Turks) got Turkey's independence and abolished the khilafa and turned Turkey into a western-style democracy.

What exactly do you mean by "islamist"

It's on periscope live from istanbul. I can't post the link, But Pro-Erdogan supporters are standing on tanks and chanting Allahu Akbar.
Why do people feel the need to say that when they're in possession of deadly weapons, are in the process of killing someone, or are preparing to potentially kill someone? It almost seems like it's a violent person's "inshallah," in that it can have real religious meaning but it can also be something that people say just so they're saying something. It seems like it might be a bit of a careless habit sometimes.
I've got CNN streaming live on my computer, they were talking about Turkey but after running through their contacts they basically don't know anything yet. So now they're back to profiling the Nice attacker.
I'm mighty curios to know what this will mean for the Kurds in Turkey. But that is a story for a different day, maybe for next week. I have a feeling they're just waiting for an opportunity, if there is an opportunity to be had.
CNN is back to Turkey now- CNN's sister station in Turkey stopped broadcasting, the whole media situation on the ground is going to be very interesting in the next few days. Loud noises are being heard, it's hard to even figure out if it's explosions or sonic booms, and lines of communication are pretty inconsistent.
There seems to be some sort of gathering at the airport, and the people gathering there seem to be supporting the coup. No soldiers at the airport, just security (with guns). Seems to be a calm gathering, without precisely defined leadership or purpose.
Why is there so many low flying aircraft? Are they trying to scare people, is this a way of enforcing martial law?
