It contains 11 lines of scripture from Chapter 41 (Surah Fussilat/Explained in Detail) of the Quran, which discusses the nature of the Quran as guidance and healing, the stubbornness of disbelievers, the nature of divine accountability, and the inconsistencies in human behavior (their weaknesses) regarding faith.

Simple gold round aya mark the verses. The scripture is framed with both a thin and a thick gold linear column, and a blue outer frame line. A decorative marginal Juz marks the 45th verse of the chapter. A further gold arabesque outer margin frames the manuscript.
