This electronic application is designed for those seeking to explore the works of the sect's scholars and prominent figures in the most efficient time possible.

In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful

In light of technological advancement, which has become an essential part of daily life and an unavoidable necessity, it is vital for those with access to science and knowledge to keep pace with modernity and cultural globalization. This ensures the preservation of their scientific heritage while making it accessible and available to the broadest possible audience.

At the Heritage Revival Center of the al-Abbas’s alternatives—an important leader in its field—this rich legacy has unfortunately not received the level of publication it deserves. While there have been individual efforts over the centuries to document certain volumes, these works were treated with careful attention by only a few investigators.

We have therefore decided to present this valuable work through an electronic application that serves specialists and heritage enthusiasts alike. It serves as a knowledge gateway for those wishing to study the scholars of the true sect and learn about the lives of its men, with efficient and rapid search capabilities.

The application offers the book in three formats:

1. A text version that aligns as closely as possible with the printed edition.
2. A digital reproduction of the printed book.
3. A unique feature designed especially for specialists—the inclusion of the original manuscript, handwritten by the author, may God Almighty have mercy on him. This allows users to verify any suspected printing errors, especially since most volumes, as noted earlier, were not thoroughly reviewed and may contain typographical mistakes.

Despite its simplicity, this application provides several advantages that researchers will find beneficial, including:

1. The ability to read any of the three versions of the book independently.
2. Search functionality across the entire encyclopedia or within specific sections (both basic and advanced search).
3. Options to copy or share text.
4. The ability to print pages from any of the three formats.
5. A dual-window view that displays the text and printed version simultaneously, with zoom controls and synchronized navigation between both windows.
6. An index of biographees for each volume, plus a master index covering the entire encyclopedia—all searchable.
7. A favorites feature for bookmarking any page across all three formats.
8. A notes field for adding personal comments or observations on any page in any format.

Finally, as we present this application to our valued users, we extend our deepest gratitude and appreciation to all who contributed to the realization of this significant work—especially the distinguished scholar of his time, Sheikh Agha Buzurk al-Tharani, may God rest his soul, who dedicated himself to typesetting, editing, and printing the work, as well as all those who preserved and shared manuscript copies for researchers (thereby offering the “zakat of knowledge”). Our thanks also go to the dedicated team who worked tirelessly to develop this application—may God reward them all with the best of rewards.
