Utopia is “no place (outopia)” but also “a good place (eutopia)”. The word of utopia denotes “an impossible world where everyone admires to live”. İsmail Gaspıralı (1851-1914) was an ideologist, an author, a journalist, a publisher, an educator and a majör. Gaspirali’s work called Muslims of Darurrahat (Comfortable Country) was published in 1891 after the first issuance in Tercuman Newspaper as the continuation of Letters of Frengistan. In his book, of which the setting is Endulus, Gaspıralı exhibits an ideal of Muslim state through his leading character. The aim of this study is to argue whether Darurrahat is an utopia or not. In this context, following the articulation of the characteristics of the concept of utopia, “Muslims of Darurrahat” was examined. In this context; -It is a story. -It has a critical structure. -It is historical. -It is revolutionary and even destructive. -The ideal system is in a different location and spatially closed off.
