Application Description

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

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

Technological advancements have become indispensable in modern life. To maintain relevance in a globalized world, and to preserve its rich scholarly heritage, this application makes valuable historical texts readily accessible to a wider audience. The Heritage Revival Center at the al-Abbas's shrines houses a significant collection of these works. While individual efforts have preserved portions of this invaluable resource through past printings, a comprehensive digital version has been lacking.

This application offers a comprehensive digital presentation of this important collection, serving both scholars and enthusiasts. It aims to facilitate research and provide easy access to the lives and works of key figures within the sect.

The application presents the book in three 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 image of the original manuscript, allowing users to compare it with the printed and text versions and identify potential typographical errors. This is particularly valuable given the lack of prior comprehensive proofreading of many volumes.

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

1. Independent access to each of the three book versions.
2. Comprehensive search capabilities, including both basic and advanced search functions.
3. Text copying and sharing options.
4. Printing functionality for all three formats.
5. Simultaneous viewing of the text and printed versions, with adjustable zoom and synchronized page navigation.
6. Indices of translators, searchable at both the volume and encyclopedia levels.
7. Bookmarking functionality for all three formats.
8. Note-taking and commenting features for all three formats.

We express our sincere gratitude to all who contributed to this project, including the meticulous work of Sheikh Agha Buzurk al-Tharani (may Allah have mercy on him) in typesetting and printing, those who preserved and shared the manuscript copy, and the team who developed this application. May Allah reward them all abundantly.
