He graduated in 1894 and continued to practise under the supervision of Muhsinzade Abdullah Hamdi Efendi until 1896. In 1921, King Fuad of Egypt has invited him to Cairo, where he transcribed the Quran and gilded the result. After completing his mission, he remained in Egypt, where he worked as a teacher and contributed to the establishment of schools to improve Arabic fonts. He returned to Istanbul in 1932, where he died two years later. Two of his calligraphic panels are hanging in the Grand Mosque of Bursa, Turkey.
