This unique book displays the genius of al-Suyuti in exegesis of the Qur'an. Through his deep reflection and knowledge of the Qur'an and its related sciences, he provides insights into why its chapters are ordered so and unveils intricacies to the reader which could only have been unearthed by one possessing such mastery and genius. 

The author states at many junctures within the book that he is displaying his reflections to the reader, so one is given the opportunity through this intimate writing style to ponder over the Qur'an from the perspective of a true tafsir master.

From The Back Cover:

Qatadah (d. 118) said, “By Allah, they would find in the Qur'an that which would impede sinfulness, if only they contemplated upon it and comprehended it.” [Tafsir al-Tabari]

Al-Shawkani (d. 1250) said, “Al-Suyuṭi was a major Imam, and a prolific author. He was given authorisation (ijazah) by the major scholars of his time from different countries and towns. He excelled in the various sciences and surpassed his peers; he gained distinction and his acclaim spread far and wide. From his beneficial works are his two Jami' collections of hadith, al-Durr al-Manthur and al-Itqan fī 'Ulum al-Qur'an.” [Summarised from his biography in al-Badr al-Ṭali' (1/328-335)]

The author said, “[I have aimed to produce an interesting book about a special theme]—that being the rationale of the order of the surahs—so it can help and save the time of one who is after such knowledge. Most of its content is from my own thoughts, contemplation and insights since only a few people have touched upon this topic. I have explicitly given reference to that which I used from others, and I would only mention that which is good and would not make me subject to criticism.”
