The author begins with an introduction in logic, then comes four divisions that mirror what he believed to the natural structure of (Šarīʿa) Islamic law. Each division is named Quṭb (pole). The first pole is about the Šarīʿa rules- being the fruit of law- that were further categorized into: The essence, the categories, the constituents of the rules. The second pole, which is the source of fruition, illustrates the sources of the rules included; amongst are: The Four principal sources; Qurʾān, Sunna, consensus (Iǧmāʿ), (Istiṣḥāb) rational proof. The third pole is how to process of cultivation, in which he demonstrates how the Šarī`ʿa rules are extracted from the principal sources, to be used by the harvester considered to be the forth pole Hence the fourth pole is about (al-Muǧtahid) the independent practitioner of jurisprudence.

By means of a detailed analysis of the linguistic treatise of this work she highlights the impact of the philosophical tradition on Islamic legal theory (uṣūl al-fiqh) in the so-called post-Avicennian era (11th-14th c.). Her main focus lies on a classification of signification ( dalāla) that can be traced back to Ibn Sīnā (lat. Avicenna, d. 1037): a word may signify a meaning by way of congruence ( muṭābaqa), containment ( taḍammun) or implication ( iltizām). The author shows how Faḫr ad-dīn ar-Rāzī develops – on the basis of the Avicennian theory of signification – a hermeneutic toolbox which is not only relevant in the context of Arabic philosophy but also useful for different questions of Islamic legal theory.

With abridgements, This anthology is distinguished by its ease of wording and how easy it is to understand. In addition to this, the book is in a middle state between an abridgment and a large volume. With abridgements, evidence is ignored and words are swallowed up in order to condense it whereas larger volumes are inclined to prolongate such that the reader might lose sight of the entirety of the book's purpose. Furthermore, this anthology is concerned with drawing conclusions from the essence of the matter with its selection of evidence and revision, which is sometimes prolonged. This is one of the most
distinguishing characteristics about al-Rāzi's books, as he takes care in them to use methods of drawing conclusions without a lot of divergent issues.
