This digital application is designed for those seeking to access the works of the sect's scholars and prominent figures in the shortest time possible.

In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful

With technological advancement becoming an essential part of daily life and a necessary tool, it has become crucial for custodians of knowledge and science to adapt to modernity and cultural globalization. This ensures the preservation of our scientific heritage while making it accessible and reaching the widest possible audience.

At the Heritage Revival Center of al-Abbas's alternatives—a leading source in its field—this valuable resource has unfortunately not received the printing attention it deserves. Although individual efforts have been made over the centuries to document certain volumes, these attempts were handled with varying degrees of care and attention by researchers.

Therefore, we decided to present this precious work through a digital application that serves specialists and heritage enthusiasts alike. It serves as a knowledge gateway for those wishing to explore the scholars of the true sect and learn about its notable figures, while simplifying research and access in minimal time.

The application includes the book in three formats:

1- A text version that closely matches the printed publication.

2- A digital copy of the printed book.

3- A unique feature designed especially for specialists: the manuscript version written by the author himself—may God Almighty have mercy on him—enabling users to verify potential typographical errors. Since most volumes, as mentioned, were not thoroughly reviewed, some printing inaccuracies may be present.

Despite its simplicity, this application offers several advantages for researchers, which we summarize as follows:

1- The ability to read each version of the book separately.

2- Search functionality across the entire encyclopedia or within specific sections (both normal and advanced search).

3- Options to copy or share text.

4- Printing capability for pages in all three advanced formats.

5- Dual-window functionality: one for text and another for the printed version, with zoom and synchronization features between the two windows during navigation.

6- An index of biographees for each volume, plus a master index for the entire encyclopedia, with integrated search.

7- Bookmarking for any page across all three formats.

8- Note-taking and commenting features for any page in all formats.

In closing, as we present this application to our valued users, we extend our deepest gratitude and appreciation to all who contributed to this remarkable work. Special recognition goes to the eminent scholar of his time, Sheikh Agha Buzurk al-Tharani—may God have mercy on him—for his meticulous typesetting, interviews, printing efforts, and partial realization of the work. We also thank those who preserved and shared a manuscript copy (as an act of knowledge zakat), and the dedicated team behind this application—may God reward them all with the finest recompense.
