All praise due to Allah The lord of the universe and peace be upon Prophet Muhammad (Sm). The ultimate success of Men is in Deen which has been established based on 5 basic elements. 1. Perfection of Eman 2. Performing all righteous deeds according to Sunnah 3. Earning sustenance in Halal way 4. Fulfil the right of parents and all the creations 5. Own self rectification (Tazkia) And being the Ummati of the Final Messenger Muhammad (Sm) it is our special responsibility to do the work of DAWAH & Tablig. To act on above mentioned duties we have to make effort in 3 ways: 1. Tablig (propagation of Deen) 2. Talim (learning and teaching) 3. Tazkia (rectification of own self) Till date the effort of the Sahaba RA. has been carried out for the establishment of Deen through lectures, writings of Ulama. This App is our little contribution into that establishment. To continue this all the Ulama e Haqqani make three types of efforts and they teach the people these three. Hence some put more emphasis in Tablig, some in Talim and some in Tazkia. The purpose of this App is to unite all three effort in one line.

With about 300 million speakers worldwide, Bangla is the seventh most-spoken native language and the sixth most-spoken language by total number of speakers in the world [source: Wikipedia]. The Bangla language has evolved over one thousand and three hundred years and has produced a huge corpus of rich literary works, which essentially have shaped us, our culture, and our identity as Bengalis. However, in this era of digitization, the most unfortunate truth that bothers us is that a very small percentage of those literary works are digitized. Ketab-e, as a Bangla e-reading platform, is an initiative to keep a record of this rich heritage, being a part of it at the same time. This e-book platform publishes new Bangla e-books, distributes them, and even archives important books on various subjects written in Bangla. One of the objectives of this platform is to make Bangla books accessible to the global Bengali diaspora. Another very important goal this platform aims to achieve is to archive the Bangla little magazines, which had always played its role as a budding stage for future mainstream authors or even a challenger to the mainstream itself. Ketab-e is a first-of-its-kind digitization initiative of Bangla little magazines in the EPUB format. The platform is also publishing important works of new authors as well as of already established ones. The slogan which Ketab-e often uses is: ’Here Technology Meets Literature’. At Ketab-e, technology plays an important role in this large-scale digitization venture. Here, readers can purchase books from any device through the Ketab-e web portal, and read them with the ebook reader which is inside the Ketab-e app. The ebook reader has many interesting features to provide a far-reaching reading experience to Bengali readers. For example, there is an embedded Bangla dictionary inside the ebook reader which can come in handy while reading classical literature. Ketab-e also provides a portfolio page to its authors and publishers which helps them to organize and promote their books through the Ketab-e web portal. Altogether, Ketab-e is and will be a unique destination for the global Bengali reading community. With a constant focus on innovation and quality, it will definitely create its own footprint in the digitization initiative of Bangla literature.
