Book One of this work covers issues such as ijtihad and taqleed (emulation), ritual cleanliness, daily prayers, fasting, hajj, khums and zakah. In addition to the classical structure of such work, new topical chapters are also added that are not normally found in the traditional Risalah. These are topics such as culture and development, freedom, human rights, social and personal reform, peace and non-violence, medicine, immigration,morality and ethics. These topics are covered in Book Two. Furthermore, some of the questions that have been submitted by the faithful to the office of the marje‘ together with their corresponding answers are also presented in this work. Such Q&A are not normally given in the traditional Risalah. On the issue of the presentation of this work, some restructuring have been made compared with the traditional Risalah, and thus relevant issues are grouped together. For example, the rulings concerning women, hijab, marriage, divorce, and marital issues, will, inheritance are grouped under the title of the Family.
