Description of manuscript content:

The manuscript discusses four different kinds of ‘marriages’ seen from the Sufi point of view. They are (1) marriage with the portent of the Qur’an, (2) marriage between men and women, (3) marriage between body and soul, and (4) marriage between a wise follower of Allah with his master.

Other notes:

The manuscript is incomplete and the end is missing. Although the text is on marriages, it is not Islamic jurisprudence. Other short texts preceed the main text. They are (1) Surat Al-Fātiḥah, (2) Surat al-Nabā’, (3) quotes from the hadith of the Prophet on the prohibition of putting a statue in the house, and (4) Arabic alphabet.
