The study aims to examine the religious lives of Afghan migrants before and after migration, their religious socialization in Türkiye, the problems they face in their religious lives, and to reveal how they evaluate religious life in Türkiye. For this purpose, the Evrenseki, Çolaklı, Yavrudoğan, Gündoğdu, and Taşağıl neighborhoods of Antalya were chosen as the area for research. The study group of sixteen men and five women was formed using the snowball sampling method on Afghan migrants living in these neighborhoods and working in agricultural activities, cold storage, greenhouse cultivation, etc. The data obtained through the in-depth interview technique was analyzed using content analysis. The MAXQDA program was used for the systematic coding of the data. As a result of the coding, the article examines the subject through four themes: the pre-migration religious life of Afghans, the post-migration religious life of Afghans, the religious socialization practices of Afghan migrants, and religious life in Türkiye as seen through the eyes of Afghan migrants. Also, it discusses whether Afghan migrants are developing behaviors to protect their religious personalities or foster social integration and cohesion. As a result, it concludes that Afghan migrants have strong religious identities but generally develop integration and cohesion behavior.

This study discusses Islamic mobile applications produced in Turkey in the mobile application store entitled “Google Play Store”. The increase in the number of mobile applications with every passing day and the continued expansion in their field of use, and moreover their interactiveness and functionality make a study in this field necessary. The aim of this study is to examine and categorize Islamic mobile applications, determine the common types of applications and present a thematic analysis concerning the varieties, content and functions of these applications. 724 Islamic mobile applications produced in Turkey, which are included in “Google Play Store”, were determined and examined in line with this aim. While the quantitative data of the study (the number of applications in the category, the download rate and average scores) was analyzed using the SPSS 23 program, the qualitative data (the word cloud and the graphics) was analyzed using the MAXQDA 2020 program. In addition to this, the applications were also interpreted thematically based on 6 categories – “worship and rituals”, “mobile learning and education”, “lifestyle and consumption practices”, “interaction and communication tools”, “game and entertainment culture” and “the practices of daily life”. As a result, it was determined that religious knowledge and practices are also being carried to digital platforms as a necessity of the digital age, and that “content /service providers” are being produced in a manner which includes the different social categories that take into account the likes of religious individuals. The fact that there are no other studies which examine, categorize and thematically analyze Islamic mobile applications produced in Turkey makes the study original for the literature.
