I was born in Ankara, the capital of Turkey in 1975. I raised on several cities such as Çankırı, Muğla, Ankara, and Diyarbakır because of my father job. He was teacter at that time, now he works at University of Van as a assistant Proffessor. I attended several elemantery school in diverse cities and graduated Toplarlar Elemantary School in 1985-1986. After that I registered to Koycegiz Middele thelogical school which was called İmam-Hatip Lisesi and completed this school.
After I graduated from high school called "Van İmam Hatip Lisesi", I studied İslamic Sdudies at the Divinity Faculty, University of Marmara and graduated in 1998. Newt, I got Master degree from the Universty of Van in 2002 and PhD from the University of Ankara in İslamic Studies especially in İslamic Law in 2008.
I started working as an assistant at University of Van from 1999 to 2002. After that I worked as a teacher in Ankara from 2002 to 2003. After that I changed my institute and started working as a preacher in Ankara at Turkish Religious Affairs in 2003. After a short time, I started to study at The Education Center for Preacher and Mufti in Konya during thirty months. When I comleted this education in 2006, I was appointed as a Prison Preacher in Çankırı in 2006. After that I won the teacher exam at that institute and started working as a Techer of Leader (İmam).
Now, I am working as an expert of religious affairs at High Council of Turkis Religious Affairs. I answer the question of Turkish citizen or other question about İslam and İslamic Studies by e-mail. To send us an e-mail about Turkish Religious Life or İslam, you can visit our web cite, wwww.diyanet.gov.tr. In addition this, I write respons of mail. Besides, I researh about İslamic law for the Presidency of Turkish Religious Affairs.
I've been studying English at ELI for four months. In addition, I'm taking a course as a auditor from Hartford Seminary. After I finish my English course on May, I plan to register Hartford Seminary to study "İslamic Chaplaincy Program". To tell the truth, because I'm a scholarship student, I have to prapare a thesis about chaplaincy.
My basic purpuse is to learn English academically; therefore I take some other courses as a auditor in Cenrall Connecticut State University and Noah Public Library.
So far, I've stayed in the US for five months. In addition these periods, I intend to study in the US approximately for one year. After that, I have to return to my country, Turkey, since my studying term is ending at that time.
I hope we'll benefit from the US.
I wrote four academic essay that were published in refereed academic journal about İslamic Law, Quran, Zaydiya, Mutazila, and Cafariyya.  
For examle;
1. Interaction in Usul al-Fıqh between Zaydiyya and Mutazila
2. Understanding of İnnocence (al-Masumiyya) between Cafariyya- Zaydiyya and its influences in Usul al-Fıqh
3. Quran and its interpratation (Delalet) in Zaydi Undestanding.
Besides these, I wrote approximately more than twenty article about İslam, Quran, Yemen and İslamic Culture.
I'm planning to take associate profesor degree in İslamic Studies.
Meanwhile, I have to add that I'm married and I've three sons and two daughter. God bless you and them. I hope Our Lord, Allah, protect ourselves from bad things.
Thanks.
