The fist part of this text deals primarily in Islamic theology, with commentaries by the author on a number of Islamic scholars including al-Taftazani. The second part of the text comprises a number of shorter extracts on astronomy, includes maps of the world and touches on global affairs including the Serbian Campaign of 1914. Examples of Arabic printing in China are rare and the variations in transliteration make it difficult to find comparables on Western databases, but no other copies of this author's works have been traced on OCLC.
