This digital 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 a globalized world, and to preserve its rich scholarly heritage, this application offers readily accessible access to a vast body of knowledge for a wider audience. The Heritage Revival Center at the al-Abbas's shrines houses a significant collection of invaluable texts. While individual efforts have preserved portions of this collection through printing, a comprehensive digital approach was needed. This application addresses this need, providing scholars and enthusiasts alike with an easily searchable resource.

This application presents this important work in three convenient formats:

1. A text-based format closely mirroring the original publication.
2. A digital replica of the printed book.
3. A unique feature: a digital version of the author's handwritten manuscript. This allows users to verify any suspected typographical errors, particularly valuable given the lack of comprehensive proofreading in previous printings.

This user-friendly application offers several key advantages for researchers:

1. Independent access to each of the three book formats.
2. Comprehensive search capabilities within the entire encyclopedia or specific sections (standard and advanced search options).
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 synchronized page navigation.
6. Indexes of translators (both per volume and for the entire encyclopedia), with searchable functionality.
7. Bookmarking capability for all three formats.
8. Note-taking functionality for each page across all three formats.

In closing, we express our sincere gratitude to all who contributed to this project: Sheikh Agha Buzurk al-Tharani, for his invaluable work on typesetting, proofreading, and printing; those who preserved the handwritten manuscript; and the dedicated team who developed this application. May God reward them all abundantly.
