In ten chapters, Shaykh Mahmud Khalil al-Husary effectively covers the superiority of the Quran, the etiquette, rewards, and virtues of listening, reciting, and memorising it, the correct method of recitation, the ruling of using melody and of crying out of the fear of Allah, and the warning against forgetting the Quran, along with a discussion on its seven variant readings.
