Hi, I'm Faris. Every pin here is a place I've stood in, or one a project dragged me to, all tracing back to a small town on the Kedah coast. This is my personal corner of the internet, nothing corporate: mostly Qur'an and hadith, a shelf of book summaries, and a not-very-secret hobby of tinkering with tech and AI. I also hand out free, honest takes on the everyday stuff, politics and technology included. Drag the globe, follow a line, or pick a region.Drag the globe or tap a city.
Working essays where the engineering lens meets the tradition. Start with the muhaddithun & information integrity.
Also here: book summaries, Learn AI, a non-partisan read on Malaysia's politics, and personal corners like the sneaker shelf and apps & experiments.
