The Jewels of the Qur'an
جواهر القرآن ودرره (Jawahir al-Qur'an)
A treatise on the hierarchy of verses and the sciences of the Qur'an: it distinguishes the "jewels" (verses on God's essence, attributes and acts) from the "pearls" (those on the straight path), and explains how all the sciences, profane ones included, branch out from the Book. It contains a famous eulogy of the Throne verse and of the sura of Sincerity.
