المكتبة الشاملة-Islamic research via مكتبة الشاملة

Introduction to Al-Maktaba Al-Shamela

Al-Maktaba Al-Shamela (المكتبة الشاملة) is a comprehensive digitalمكتبة شاملة وظائف واستخدامات library designed to provide scholars, students, and researchers with free and organized access to a vast collection of Islamic texts. Developed to preserve, disseminate, and simplify access to Islamic heritage, the platform offers classical and contemporary works in various disciplines such as Fiqh (jurisprudence), Tafsir (exegesis), Hadith, Aqidah (creed), language, history, and more. One of the primary goals of Shamela is to centralize thousands of Islamic resources in a searchable and categorized format, thereby reducing the time and effort required for traditional book-based research. For example, instead of searching through 30 physical volumes of Ibn Taymiyyah’s 'Majmu' al-Fatawa', a user can search a specific keyword across all volumes in seconds. Another scenario involves a student researching the rulings on Zakat from the four Madhahib (schools of jurisprudence) — instead of consulting multiple sources, Shamela enables direct comparative analysis by accessing all relevant texts and filtering them by scholar or topic.
