This electronic application is designed for anyone seeking to explore the sect's scholars and notable figures in the most efficient way possible.

In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful

Given that technological progress has become an essential part of daily life, it is crucial for institutions of knowledge and science to adapt to modern developments and cultural globalization. This ensures the preservation of their scholarly heritage while making it more accessible and reaching the widest possible audience.

At the Heritage Revival Center of al-Abbas's holy shrine, a key repository of significant works and leadership in its field, we recognized that this rich intellectual heritage has not received the publishing attention it deserves. Although there have been individual efforts over the centuries to document certain volumes, undertaken with care by some researchers, a comprehensive modern solution was needed.

Therefore, we decided to present this valuable work through an electronic application, serving specialists and heritage enthusiasts alike. It acts as a knowledge portal for those wishing to study the scholars of the true sect and the biographies of its men, facilitating research and inquiry in the shortest time.

The application includes the book in three distinct formats:

1- A digital text version that closely matches the printed edition.

2- A scanned digital copy of the original printed book.

3- A unique feature of great value to specialists: the inclusion of the author's original handwritten manuscript. This allows users to verify any suspected typographical errors, especially important as most volumes—as noted—were not fully verified, leaving some errors in previous editions.

This user-friendly application offers several key benefits for researchers, summarized as follows:

1- Read each of the three book formats independently.

2- Search across the entire encyclopedia or within a specific section (using both basic and advanced search).

3- Copy or share text excerpts.

4- Print pages from any of the three available formats.

5- Open two synchronized windows simultaneously—one for text and one for the printed version—with zoom controls and linked navigation between them.

6- Access an index of biographers for each volume and a master index for the entire encyclopedia, both searchable.

7- Bookmark any page from any of the three formats.

8- Add personal notes or comments to any page in any format.

In closing, as we launch this application for our valued users, we extend our deepest gratitude and appreciation to all who contributed to this remarkable project. Special thanks go to the eminent scholar of his time, Sheikh Agha Buzurk al-Tharani (may God have mercy on him), for his meticulous work in compiling, editing, and publishing the original work. We also thank those who preserved and shared manuscript copies, making them available to researchers, and to our dedicated team who worked tirelessly to develop this application. May God reward them all generously.
