The book (Ma’alim as-Sur) is a landmark on the path to the Qur’an, a key to its surahs from Al-Fatihah to An-Nas, a curriculum for the seeker of its contemplation and a guide to it, and a window to the beauty of its surahs and verses.
Its pages contain the names of its chapters, the topics of its verses, an explanation of its aims, purposes and occasions, an exposition of its strange and obscure aspects, and a glimpse of the pens of prominent figures who wrote a small amount of its subtleties and guidance, in addition to other things that help the reader and memorizer of the Qur’an to visualize and contemplate the chapter.
