Imam, writer, and translator.

He was born in 1985 in the village of Tarîn in Şemrex (Mazıdağı), Mêrdîn (Mardin). After primary school, he abandoned the state school system and started to study in the Kurdish madrasas in order to be an imam. He continued his education in Mardin, Diyarbakır, Antep, Batman, Bitlis, and finally in Bismil, where he graduated from the madrasa and received his diploma in 2004. After receiving his diploma, he travelled to villages to teach, just like every other Kurdish imam. Mela Birhanê Tarînî continues to teach in Mardin, and as a devotee of Kurdish literature, carries on with his transliterations and translations of Kurdish classics and Arabic.
