This digital application provides 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 indispensable in modern life. To keep pace with this progress and the globalization of culture, while preserving its rich scholarly heritage and ensuring accessibility to a wider audience, this application was developed. The Heritage Revival Center at the al-Abbas's shrines houses a significant collection of invaluable works. While individual efforts have resulted in the printing of some volumes over the centuries, much of this important material remains underutilized. This application aims to make this precious resource readily available to scholars and enthusiasts alike, providing a user-friendly interface to explore the lives and works of the sect's leading figures.

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 providing access to the author's handwritten manuscript. This allows users to verify suspected typographical errors, a significant advantage given the lack of thorough proofreading in many 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 (standard and advanced search options).
3. Text copying and sharing functionality.
4. Printing capabilities for all three formats.
5. Simultaneous viewing of the text and printed versions, with adjustable zoom and synchronized page navigation.
6. Indices of translators, both by volume and across the entire encyclopedia, with integrated search functionality.
7. Ability to bookmark pages (all three formats).
8. Note-taking and commenting features for each page (all three formats).

In closing, we express our sincere gratitude to all who contributed to this project, including the tireless efforts of Sheikh Agha Buzurk al-Tharani (may Allah have mercy on his soul) for his work on typesetting, interviewing, and printing, as well as those who preserved and shared the manuscript copy, and the team who developed this application. May Allah reward them all abundantly.
