Now days when someone hears the term Turk, they think of Turkey and people who live there. But Turks are historically a race related to Mongolians, Chinese, Koreans.
They are from Siberia, Mongolia and Northern China.
During the Prophets time, there was a Turkic empire called Gokturk (celestial, Sky or Blue Turks). They ruled what is now Mongolia and Central Asia and parts of Northern China all the way to the borders of Korea.
Some Of these tribes migrated down to Central Asia and eventually made contact with Muslims and embraced Islam.
After the Arabs early on , the Turks took the reigns and ruled the Muslim world.
Today majority of Turks are Muslims with exception of some tribes who still remain in Siberia like the Tuva and Yakuts.
