This digital application provides swift access to the scholarly works and biographies of the sect's leading figures.

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

Technological advancements have become integral to modern life. To keep pace with this progress and global cultural exchange, while preserving its rich scholarly heritage and expanding its reach, this application was developed. The Heritage Revival Center at the al-Abbas's shrines houses a significant collection of invaluable texts. While individual efforts have resulted in the printing of some volumes over the centuries, the full extent of this resource remains largely untapped.

This application offers a digital presentation of this important collection, serving both specialists and those with a general interest in the subject. It aims to facilitate access to the biographies of the sect's scholars, streamlining research and retrieval.

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 author's handwritten manuscript. This allows users to verify potentially ambiguous passages or typographical errors present in previously published versions, many of which lacked rigorous proofreading.

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

1. Separate access to each of the three book formats.
2. Comprehensive search capabilities, including both basic and advanced search functions across the entire work or specific sections.
3. Text copying and sharing options.
4. Printing capabilities for all three formats.
5. Simultaneous viewing of the text and printed versions, with adjustable zoom and page synchronization.
6. Indexes of translators, both by volume and for the entire collection, with searchable functionality.
7. Bookmarking capabilities for any page across all three formats.
8. Note-taking and commenting features for each page and format.

In closing, 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 his soul) in typesetting, proofreading, and printing earlier versions, as well as those who preserved and shared the handwritten manuscript, making this digital resource possible. May Allah reward all involved for their contributions.
