The manuscript is about Islamic jurisprudence according to the Shāfi‘ī School. It starts with a chapter on the evening prayers halfway the month Sya’bān (nisf Sya’bān), and ends with a chapter on how intentions (niat) have to be said. It also deals with the tradition in Nusantara of beating the drum (bedug) to call for prayers which, according to the author of the manuscript is allowed.
