Haris Al-Masjid — Guardian of the Masjid

Haris Al-Masjid is one installation intended to do two things: protect the people inside the masjid, and carry what happens inside it out to the world. The design is cameras with behaviour detection running on hardware inside the masjid — never facial recognition of congregants, never cloud surveillance, never remote access by Fotoh — with clear spoken warnings, a path to emergency services, and evidence the masjid itself holds. This is a concept. There is no product: the entire codebase is a single unfinished classifier, no hardware has been bought, and the shape of the product is still an open question at the founder’s desk. Nothing here is purchasable.

What it does

• Intended: cameras with behaviour detection running on hardware inside the masjid
• Intended: a clear spoken warning in the intruder’s own language, and a path to emergency services
• Intended: the same cameras carrying the khutbah out, so the hardware that guards the masjid also teaches from it
• Never facial recognition of congregants, never cloud surveillance, never remote access by Fotoh, and never capture of the prayer or the teaching without the masjid’s own hand connecting it
• No drone flies itself. Where a drone is ever used, a licensed human pilot flies it — there is no lawful autonomous alternative.
• Nothing is built and nothing is for sale. Reach is reported privately to the imam and the mu’adhdhin, never published as a popularity figure.

How it connects to the ecosystem

Haris and MRN are designed to sit on the same masjid installation, and the contract between them is still open. The broadcasting half now lives as a Meathanah requirement — only a camera the masjid itself connects, looking at the miḥrāb and minbar and nowhere else — while the hardware question stays with Haris.
