Accordingly, with the translation of Chahardah Akhtar-i Tabnak into English ( The Fourteen Luminaries of Islam ) and publishing it in a single volume as well as fourteen separate volumes, this Foundation has tried to take a step, however small, toward the introduction of these luminary figures and the dissemination of Islamic and human values.

Chahardah Akhtar-i Tabnak , originally written by the late eminent researcher Ahmad Ahmadi Birjandi (a member of the Islamic Research Foundation), is such a valuable and concise work that has managed to address a great number of seekers after perfection and has been published several times.

Being decided to be published in English; however, the Persian version was assigned to the IRF Department of History of Islam to be revised and then handed over to the Translation Department to be rendered into English. It is hoped that this English translation may pave the way for further familiarization of the interested readers with the profound and prominent Islamic culture.
