The introduction explains the definition of the Oneness of Allah’s names and attributes and the importance of studying it. As for the sections, it is as follows:

1. First section: The seven principles that come under the main Quranic principle in creed.
2. Second section: Examples and fundamentals that come under the Quranic principle in creed.

The most important results of this study:

1. The principles, examples and fundamentals mentioned by Ibn Taymiyyah in at-Tadmuriyah were also mentioned by other than him from scholars of the pious predecessors and it all comes under this Quranic principle in creed.
2. If the Muslims adhered to this principle and proceeded upon it, they would gain the true knowledge of Allah and be saved from the deviation in the understanding of the names and attributes of Allah.
3. The greatest reason for the deviation of sects - such as the negators of Allah’s attributes (mu'attila) and the beliefs of the anthropomorphists (al-mumathila) – is their contradiction of this principle.
