Then he introduces the author and his intellectual contributions, and finally talks about his method and approach in the investigation. After the researcher’s introduction, you find the author’s preface, in which he speaks about the greatness of the Noble Quran and that it is a source of light and guidance. But not everyone is qualified to draw from its inexhaustible spring; rather, one must have a pure heart and a clean soul free from all diseases. He also points out that the first sciences needed for understanding the Quran are the verbal sciences, which focus on verifying individual words, as these help in understanding the Quran. Then he briefly discusses his method in writing the book. The book does not contain chapters or sections as we are used to in other books. Instead, it is a lexical dictionary, so after the preface, you find the letter "Alif" chapter, which includes all the words starting with the letter "Alif." Then you find the letter "Ba," and so on until the last letter of the alphabet. Following that, you find the technical investigations conducted by the author. The book consists of 728 pages, of which 578 pages are for the dictionary, and the rest are dedicated to the technical investigations. It is then supplemented with an index.
