Completing his lower degree there in 2016, Al Suleiman and his family moved once more to return to Istanbul and he pursued a higher degree at Istanbul University in the literature of the Turkish language, which he graduated from in 2019. [6][7]

In an interview, he stated that his purpose was to learn about the culture of both of his parents and understand both origin languages. He also felt that the commonality between the people of the region and the shared culture, particularly during the Ottoman Empire, is one that should be supported and emphasized.[8][9]
