Welcome Jihad Watch
readers! The link in Beagle's
comment brought many new visitors Nov. 29, '08. I
am under
a lifetime ban, so I can't comment there.
I apologize for any service interruptions. This site has a bandwidth
limit. Downloading files from the older library may trigger a shut
down. The New
Expanded Library is stored at Box.net and will not
crash this site.
There are two libraries
here, The first, older library
contains monolithic chm files without
functional search & index tabs. You can search the
entire
text with one entry.
The Expanded
Library near the bottom of the page contains the same texts but they
are not monolithic. You'll need to search each internal Surah or 'book'
separately. The newer files have functional search tabs, and all but
Reliance have functional index tabs. The Qur'an, Hadith &
Tafsir in
the Expanded Library interoperate, Reliance and the older
files
are strictly stand alone.
The text of
Reliance was downloaded from an academic site as one monolithic file
and broken up into 'Books' A-V, then compiled into .chm format. I was
unable to compile an index for it. There are typos in the
text,
and it probably contains errors. The important parts of
O9.8-9
match the version at Muhadith. They also match the version at
Scribid. [Reliance sources follow.]
One academic site
hosts a huge text file which may or may not be complete and accurate.
It takes a long time to load, and you need to use the Windows Search
[Ctrl F] to find anything. [The source for the .chm file.]
Scribid
displays a scanned image of the book. Somehow they arranged a means of
searching it, which works much faster than I expected. Of course you
can't cut and paste from it, but it should be useful for verifying
content found in other sources.
Allah.com
displays a text file, so you can copy & paste. That will
facilitate
using quotes in blog posts. Unfortunately, they renamed and rearranged
the books, and added a half dozen. Two columns are displayed,
on
the left, a list of the books and a code for deciphering the
original names. Book O is transmuted to Book 9. Links to the entry
points are in the right hand column.
