The General Kashifalgetaa Foundation
History and Background

Its is very clear and no scientist doubts that Najaf al Alashraf is the burial place of Imam Ali, He is the door of the prophets city of sciences it''s the prince of believers (peace be up on him), Najaf is the first city of science and the center of Moslems observations in public and the students of religious sciences in particular. It is the oldest and more sacred city in publishing sciences and distributing information many scientists, thinkers, literary men as well as many specialists in humanities graduated from this holy city, they filled the parts of the World and gained the highest grades in knowledge and left us valuable traces and great volumes in all arts specially in jurisprudence and principles .

These treasures remained hidden in the houses of scientists and their families. Few of such treasures appeared. Till now such pearls are kept on shelves and stored in the undergrounds and await the one who can bring them to light, distribute them among people and remove the dust of time and days.

 Of course, many factors made such heritage hidden in houses without publishing. Some of these factors were the general circumstances represented by the previous authority which endeavored to keep such treasures buried and eradicate them impact so many of these treasures lost.


Furthermore, some families prevented publishing the heritage of their grandfather and insisted to keep their manuscripts. Some families used such manuscripts in commercial business. We most not forget that the process of publishing and printing needs financial capabilities and this makes the manuscripts left in corners and shelves.


In1993, al Thakhair Foundation, knows now as kashif algetaa Foundation. Started to insert the manuscripts in the computer set, store them in discs and distribute them among the researches and al Hausa students.

  

The owner of this idea and the founder of this foundation is the scientist Dr .al sheikh Abass Kashif algetaa; the son of the greatest religious scientist al Sheikh Ali Kashif algetaa .He made the Diwan of Kashif algetaa family an office for such foundation.
This foundation worked hard during the difficult circumstances of the economical embargo despite the rarity of the modern techniques for maintaining and keeping the manuscripts from waste.
In addition to the high prices of computers and other instruments of printing, developing and discs. Moreover, the previous authority fought religion and the Sheeaa heritage in particular. Thus, it burnt many manuscripts, wasted them and kept many others in unattainable places to get rid of the scientific and religions Sheei heritage. Because of such reasons the work was carried out secretly away from previous observation.
   Moreover, some people did not appreciate the idea, but they denounced it .in spite of those obstacles, this institution continued working to draw the manuscripts of Kashif algetaa library, then, we started to draw the manuscripts in other libraries.

This work was going on day and night with simple potentials and on two shifts in morning and evening.

 The first disk started in 1995 and it includes (49) manuscripts. That was achieved after a hard effort in establishing a special program .It includes the special capabilities in presenting the manuscript that facilitates the process of assertion such as enlarging the manuscript, minimizing it, or reversing it for the existence of margins on some manuscripts. This program also contains the potentiality of printing the whole manuscripts, in this program, a special form was prepared for every manuscript that contains the number, the title, the manuscript author, the copier name, the date of copying, the place of copying, the disc no., the number of the pages, the length and width of the page, the lines number, the co lour of paper, and the lack existed in the manuscript. This program enables us to find each manuscript, its name, author, subject and the date of copying.
 This program also facilitates the ability to operate it on the hard disk and keeping it this program can be transformed into English. These disks were secretly distributed among trusted persons for fear of the oppression of the previous authority.
 This foundation made a disk for Imam Ali (peace be upon him), and another disk for Imam al Hussain and Imam al Sajad (peace be upon them).
In 1997 the operation of assertion and typing started for the manuscripts that belonged to the family of kashif algetaa. Some of al Hausa curricula were printed and distri buted among al Hausa students, researchers and asserters. The were given free.

In 2000 the number of manuscripts became more than (1050) stored in (forty four) disks. In that year the men of the previous system attacked the man of the previous system attacked the building of the institution in Diwan al Kashif algetaa in al Umara district and broke the divinity of that sacred place where people took protection for more than century quarter from the dangers of days and time .
