The Hijrah Readiness Assessment
Hijrah succeeds or fails on four binary constraints — income, family, capital, destination. This assessment scores each, surfaces the weakest, and returns a personalised next-step plan. Be honest; the math is only useful if the inputs are.
Your hijrah readiness score · for Türkiye
66/100
Almost ready — close the gaps
The major structures are in place. Address the lowest-scoring dimension before booking.
Your weakest dimension · do this next
Visit the destination at least twice before committing. Spend 2–3 weeks each visit, not 2–3 days. Make contact with the local Muslim community, walk the schools the children would attend, talk to expat families already settled.
Destination
See /hijrah for the deep-dive on each destination's property + cost-of-living math.
Income · does your earning survive the move?
Remote-work compatibility of your current income
Transferable trade you could practise at destination
Family · is everyone on board?
Spouse alignment
Children's adaptability (consider ages + temperament)
Parents / dependants remaining in AU
Capital · can you land without panic?
Destination fit · is the landing pad real?
Visits to Türkiye in the last 24 months
