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

Developed in the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, this application addresses the need for accessibility in the digital age. It aims to preserve a valuable scientific heritage, facilitating wider dissemination and accessibility to a broader audience. The application focuses on a significant historical text, previously lacking widespread availability despite its importance. While some individual volumes were printed in past centuries, this application offers a comprehensive and readily accessible digital version.

This electronic resource presents the book in three formats: a text-based version closely mirroring the original publication, a digital replica of the printed book, and a unique feature—a scan of the author's handwritten manuscript. This last element allows users to verify potential typographical errors, a common issue in previously published versions.

The application's user-friendly design offers several key advantages for researchers:

1. Independent access to each of the three book formats.
2. Comprehensive search capabilities, including both basic and advanced search functions within the entire text or specific sections.
3. Copy and share functionality for text excerpts.
4. Printing options for all three formats.
5. Simultaneous viewing of the text and printed versions, with adjustable zoom and synchronized page navigation.
6. Detailed indices of translators, searchable across individual volumes and the entire work.
7. Bookmarking functionality for pages across all three formats.
8. Annotation capabilities, allowing users to add notes and comments to any page in any format.

We extend our gratitude to all who contributed to this project, including Sheikh Agha Buzurk al-Tharani for his invaluable work on typesetting, editing, and printing earlier versions, as well as those who preserved and shared the manuscript copy. We also thank the developers who brought this application to fruition.
