In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful
With the rapid advancement of technology—now an essential part of everyday life—it has become imperative for scholars and custodians of knowledge to embrace modernity and cultural globalization. Doing so ensures the preservation of our rich scientific and intellectual heritage, making it more accessible and easier to share with the widest possible audience.
At the Heritage Revival Center of al-Abbas's alternatives, we recognize the importance of this mission. This center stands as a leading authority in its field, yet, despite its vast scholarly value, its works have not received the comprehensive publication and preservation they deserve. Although individual efforts have led to the printing of certain volumes over the centuries—meticulously edited by dedicated researchers—much of this heritage remains underrepresented in published form.
Therefore, we have developed this valuable resource as an electronic application designed for specialists, researchers, and all those passionate about Islamic scholarly heritage. This app serves as a knowledge gateway for anyone seeking to explore the scholars of the true sect and understand the biographical conditions of its prominent figures—enabling fast, efficient, and accurate access in the shortest possible time.
The application includes the book in three distinct formats:
- Text format – Carefully aligned with the original publication for accuracy and readability.
- Digital scan – A high-quality digital version of the printed book, preserving the original layout and pagination.
- Manuscript version – A unique and invaluable feature: the original handwritten manuscript by the author, may God Almighty have mercy on him. This allows researchers to verify potential typographical errors, especially important given that many volumes were published without thorough editorial review.
Despite its simplicity, this application offers several powerful features designed to support in-depth research:
- Read each of the three versions independently.
- Perform quick or advanced searches across the entire encyclopedia or within specific sections.
- Copy or share any text excerpt with ease.
- Print pages in any of the three high-quality formats.
- Open two synchronized windows simultaneously—one for the text and one for the scanned version—with independent zoom controls and automatic page linking for seamless navigation.
- Access a comprehensive index of translators in each volume, as well as a unified index across the entire encyclopedia, all fully searchable.
- Bookmark any page in any of the three formats to your favorites for quick future access.
- Add personal notes or comments to any page, saved separately for each format.
In conclusion, as we present this application to our esteemed users, we extend our deepest gratitude, appreciation, and praise to all who contributed to this important endeavor. Special thanks to the eminent scholar of his time, Sheikh Agha Buzurk al-Tharani, may God have mercy on him, whose meticulous work in typesetting, editing, and publishing the original text laid the foundation for this project. We also thank those who preserved and shared the written copies—making this knowledge available to researchers (fulfilling the zakat of knowledge)—and to our dedicated brothers who invested their time and effort in developing this application. May God reward them all with the best of rewards for the righteous.
