A new service introduced
by Harf using the latest electronic publishing technologies in order to get the Muslim
user informed of the Islamic history in a thousand year. The program provides display,
search and indexing features. The user can review the historical events that took place at
a given scope of time and place throughout the Muslim world.
The program has been designed with Web CD and Personal Web Server
technologies, which enable the user to use web sites available on CDs in the same way he
uses Desktop applications, with all services of display, search and indexing.
The material is prepared from the books
Al-Bidayah wa Al-Nihayah (The Beginning and the End) by Ibn Kathir and Ahdath Al-Tarikh
Al-Islami Bi Tartib Al-Sinin (The Events of the Islamic History in Chronological Order) by
`Abd Al-Salam Al-Tirmanini.
The program presents a full display of
the events of the Islamic history in a thousand year, beginning from the year 1 until 1000
A.H. The program includes the historical events, the military events and the mortality.
The user can show a chronological order
of all the historical events witnessed by the Muslim Ummah, displaying the events of each
year separately.
The program provides the ability to
search for main topics, which are linked to many other subtopics that cover all the events
of the Islamic history in a thousand year.
The advanced textual search, based on
Harf's technologies in the field of computational linguistics, includes morphological
search, which enables search for words or phrases on various levels. The user can search
for a word or a phrase on root level, or with affixes; or rather search for exact matches
for search words or phrases.
The program includes two kinds of
indexes:
General indexes: which include indexes
of Qur'anic verses, Hadiths, poetic verses, biographical names, etc.
Special indexes: which include indexes
of military events, revolutions, natural disasters, major battles and conquests, etc.
The text material of the program is
supported with a library of illustrative maps accompanied by audio commentary.
There is ample information and images of
famous mosques spread throughout the Muslim world with accompanying audio commentary.
Qur'anic verses are served with
reference information and linked to the related web page on www.al-islam.com, which
provides more elaborate Qur'anic services.
The program provides comprehensive
biographies of the outstanding personalities mentioned in the program.
The program is legally approved by Al-Azhar
The program runs under Windows 95, 98
and 2000.
