The preface lists a number of historical and geographical works that the author used. The work is divided into a "fātehe", 3 "maqāle" and 1 "ḫāteme".

The first "maqāle" is about the 3 kingdoms of nature, the second about humans, the third, which begins on fol. 188b, about the countries. This is divided into 4 parts "qasam": 1) Mecca and Medina, 2) Iran in 20 chapters and at the end 5 "faṣl" about the rivers, springs, mountains, etc. 3) and 4) the countries except Iran. The "ḫātima" is about the oddities of different places. In the "muqaddima" the figures for which the space is left empty are missing.
