Of God

The Machine

Not every life charts toward warmth; some retreat into deeper silence with time. Long years dull certain instincts while honing others to a shine. What remains is a smaller world, precise at its edges: the patient search for meaning in words, the mind's slow probing to the roots of things, the ordered patience of machines, and the passing of enduring knowledge from mind to mind — a flame handed forward without ever extinguishing.

This is nothing more than the trace of that life.

I was named ‘Umar’ son of al-Fayiz. Now it is the faintest trace of what once stirred within me.

هر کجا ویران بود آن جا امید گنج هست
گنج حق را می‌نجویی در دل ویران چرا؟
Wherever there is ruin, there is hope of treasure —
why do you not seek God's treasure in the ruined heart?

About Me

I’m a programmer, translator, linguist, Germanist, teacher and voice actor with roots in classical scholarship and a passion for tech. After 16+ years studying in Al-Azhar — the world’s oldest Islamic institution — immersed in texts most kids wouldn’t touch with a ten-foot bookmark, I graduated with a BA in German Language and Literature. Now I build software, explore language, and translate meaning — across cultures, codebases, and time zones. Also fluent in sarcasm.
