This electronic application provides swift access to the scholarly works and biographies of prominent figures within a specific sect.

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

Technological advancements have become integral to modern life. To maintain relevance in the face of cultural globalization, and to preserve its rich scholarly heritage, this application makes this vital resource easily accessible to a wider audience. The Heritage Revival Center at the al-Abbas's shrines houses a significant collection of scholarly works. While individual efforts have resulted in the printing of some volumes throughout history, the full potential of this collection remained largely untapped.

This application digitizes this valuable resource, serving both specialists and those interested in the sect's history. It offers a convenient way to access biographies of its scholars and notable figures. The application aims to facilitate research and discovery within the shortest possible timeframe.

The application presents the book in three formats:

1. A text format closely mirroring the original publication.
2. A digital version of the printed book.
3. A unique feature: a digital facsimile of the author's handwritten manuscript. This allows users to verify suspected typographical errors, addressing inconsistencies present in previously published versions.

This application offers several key advantages for researchers:

1. Independent access to each of the three book versions.
2. Comprehensive search capabilities across the entire encyclopedia or specific sections (standard and advanced search).
3. Text copying and sharing options.
4. Printing capabilities for all three formats.
5. Simultaneous viewing of text and printed versions, with adjustable zoom and page synchronization.
6. Indices of translators (both per volume and for the entire encyclopedia), searchable within the application.
7. Bookmarking functionality for all three formats.
8. Annotation capabilities for all three formats.

In closing, we express our gratitude to all those who contributed to this project, including the meticulous work of Sheikh Agha Buzurk al-Tharani (may Allah have mercy on him) in typesetting, proofreading, and printing, and to those who preserved and shared the handwritten manuscript. We also thank the team responsible for developing this application. May Allah reward them all abundantly.
