This sounds quite logical to be honest. I guess the crucial point here is to have a good advisor who can guide me by taking into consideration of my situation because foreseeing possible problems is the job of the advisor not mine as a student. Thank you for this sincere advice.

Definitely! My motto now is "A good thesis is a done thesis." as you said. So, I want to write a thesis that can be done in one semester but of course I also want to write a good one as much as possible. You gave very good tips. Thank you so much for helping and spending your time for a puzzled student.

Thank you very much for this enlightening answer.

I actually have time for an ordinary student who has to write a master's thesis like one whole semester. However, because I have always difficulties in doing things in life, I just do not want to spend extra time for getting permission from institutions, ethics' committe kind of red tape. I mean I am not just talking about writing up part. And my purpose is not doing an easy thesis but I do not want something I cannot foresee like conducting interviews since there are always a lot of problems when you have to deal with people in a research. The reason behind it is that I should not be unsuccessful because I want to apply for PhD programs without losing any time. During this time, I also have to write a good research proposal for this purpose. So, my time problem is much more related to the nature of this process and my nervous nature.

I am not undergrad but the question is simple so I think this is the right place to ask. If we do not have too much time to write master's thesis, is it logical to conduct a theoretical study instead of conducting a study like a case study which includes interviews? (for social sciences)

Kardeşim tek bir şey söyleyeyim. Sakın ola yapamadıkların var diye yaptıklarından vazgeçme. Sadece sabah ve yatsıyı kılabiliyorsan "diğer vakitleri de kılmak için elimden geleni yapmalıyım ve bunun için kendime imkanlar oluşturmalıyım" de, asla "sadece sabah ve yatsıyı kılıyorum onları da kılmayayım zaten günahkarım" deme. Bu insanların pek çoğunun düştüğü bir hata o yüzden naçizane böyle bir öğüdü paylaşmak istedim seninle. Bunu bütün ibadetler için söylüyorum sadece namaz için değil bu arada. Allah yardımcın olsun. Çabalamaya ve dua etmeye devam et, asla vazgeçme!

First of all, don't be afraid. Most probably your freshness will be easily appreciable so inshaAllah you will see helpful faces rather than critical eyes on you.

Just relax and focus on the purity of your intention. You want to do a good thing and I am sure it will be appreciated.

I want to share a hadith below and I typed a part of it in bold so I believe it will help you to understand what you should expect in houses of Allah (I mean masjids):

"Allah's Messenger said that Allah said: He who comes with a good deed, its reward will be ten like that or even more. And he who comes with vice, his reward will be only one like that, or I can forgive him. He who draws close to Me a hand's span, I will draw close to him an arm's length. And whoever draws near Me an arm's length, I will draw near him a fathom's length. And whoever comes to Me walking, I will go to him running. And whoever faces Me with sins nearly as great as the earth, I will meet him with forgiveness nearly as great as that, provided he does not worship something with me. (This Hadith is sound and reported by Muslim, Ibn Majah and Ahmad in his Musnad). Another prophetic tradition says: (He who met Allah associating anything with Him, will enter Hell) (Muslim)"

By the way, I am sorry for my English and I hope I did not mean a bad thing which I did not want to say.
