Shahryanshah Sirajuddin was born in Sangkulirang, Indonesia and graduated from the Faculty of Islamic Law at Al-Azhar University in Egypt in 2009. He received ijazah in Ruqah, Diwani and Jali Diwani script types with the education he received from Belaid Hamidi in Egypt, and then he came to Türkiye in 2010 and specialised in Thuluth and Naskh script types under the guidance of Hasan Çelebi, Ferhat Kurlu and Mümtaz Seçkin Durdu. He was granted his ijazah in Arabic calligraphy at a ceremony organised by IRCICA. He enriched his training by taking lessons from master calligraphers such as Şavaş Çevik, Davut Bektaş, Ali Toy, Mehmed Özçay and Osman Özçay in Istanbul.
