This electronic application offers swift access to the scholarly works and biographies of the sect's prominent figures.

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

Technological advancements have become integral to modern life. To maintain relevance in a globalized world, it is crucial for custodians of knowledge to embrace modernity and preserve their scientific heritage. This application ensures wider accessibility to a significant body of work.

The Heritage Revival Center at the al-Abbas's shrines houses a wealth of important resources. Despite its significance, this rich collection has not received the attention it deserves in terms of widespread publication, although individual efforts have been made to publish certain volumes over the centuries.

Therefore, we have created this electronic application to serve scholars and heritage enthusiasts. It provides a convenient knowledge interface for those seeking information on the scholars of the sect and their contributions, facilitating research and retrieval with unprecedented ease.

The application presents the book in three formats:

1. A text format closely mirroring the published version.
2. A digital version of the printed book.
3. A unique feature providing access to a manuscript copy written by the author. This allows users to verify suspected typographical errors, addressing inconsistencies present in some previously published volumes.

This application offers several key advantages for researchers:

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

In closing, we extend our gratitude to all who contributed to this project, including the meticulous work of Sheikh Agha Buzurk al-Tharani (may Allah have mercy on him) for his typesetting, editing, and printing efforts; those who preserved the manuscript copy; and the team who developed this application. May Allah reward them all generously.
