Articles of Formation


Recognizing the need for an English translation of Tarikh al Tabari to be easily available to the Muslim masses in the interests of increasing their knowledge, the undersigned have decided to form a project to make available the english translation of Tarikh Al Tabari online to the great unwashed masses. The following Articles will lay down the organization of the project.


1. I, Mohammed titumir Ali, will act as the supreme judicial authority, who has the power to interpret the application of this projects internal laws.

2. The board of governors will consist of 3 people, the number of positions of which can be changed by the board itself. For the beginning, the board consists of the aforementioned M. t. A. Who can be replaced at the next board meeting

3. All decisions shall be decided on through a vote

4. The board shall elect a executive, who shall have the day to day responsibilities of this project. The executive can be dismissed at any time by the board. For the beginning, the executive, too, is the aforementioned M. t. A. Who can be replaced by the board.

5. The board shall meet for discussions at a to be determined irc channel or mailing list. For now, the board communicates via PM.

6. The goal of the project shall be to have the entire english tabari in a computer-text form. That can be then viewed or displayed in many ways, on the web, on a pdf, etc.

7. All other disputes and doubts shall be put to the Supreme Judicial Authority whose verdicts shall be binding.

good project to open the truth to many people.
I know some wahhabis starting to disbelieve in Tarikh at Tabari.

Great intention brother.

The other day I was scouring pirate and torrent sites for a downloadable Tarikh Al-Tabari english translation (using a software called "Vuze" (google it if interested)) and found only non-english volumes.

Best of luck. I hope you find a vast team of translators to get it done quickly.

I wanted lineage, I found it in virtue. I wanted majesty, I found it in contentment. I looked for peace and found it in asceticism." - Uwais al Qarni

Yeah, only 495 quids for the set. Everyone rush out and buy one now. Genius. -_-
