The largest opposition forces were headquartered in Iraqi Kurdistan, represented by the Kurdish Democratic Party (KDP) and the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan. In all practicality, Naif should have had the upper hand; he was a respected officer and was supported by the common soldier. This voluminous text has been critically edited based on several old manuscripts from The Institute of Ismaili Studies' vast collection. The Uyun al-Akhbar is being published in 7 volumes of annotated Arabic critical editions as part of an institutional collaboration between the Institut Franais du Proche Orient (IFPO) in Damascus and The Institute of Ismaili Studies (IIS) in London. The Isma'ili view on Gods Speech is therefore in contrast with the Hanbali view that it is eternal sounds and letters, the Mu'tazila view that it is a temporally created provision of sounds, and also the Ash'ari and Maturidi views that it is an everlasting nonverbal attribute contained in Gods essence. Along with zakat, Isma'ilis pay a tithe, a percentage of their asset to the Ismaili Imamate for use in development projects in the eastern world, primarily to benefit Isma'ilis and, by extension, other communities living in that area.
