Al-Mawardi says in his introduction: "And I have sought in this book to point to the manners [of the world and religion], and to detail what is summarized of their states, in the fairest of matters, from concise and comprehensive explanation, combining the understanding of the jurists and the refinement of the literati, so it does not stray from understanding, nor become too subtle for the mind, citing from the Book of Allah - Glorious is His Name - what it necessitates, and from the Messenger of Allah - peace and blessings be upon him - what matches it, then following that with examples from the wise, the eloquent, and the poets; because hearts are comforted by different arts and become bored of a single art." Al-Mawardi divided his book into six chapters: - In the virtue of intellects and the blame of desires - The chapter "If only knowledge" - The chapter "If only religion" - The chapter "If only the world" - The chapter "And so forth" First chapter: On avoiding arrogance and self-admiration Second chapter: On good manners Third chapter: On revival (life) Fourth chapter: On anger and wrath Fifth chapter: On truthfulness and lying Sixth chapter: On envy and competition 6.
