Findings:
I would like to list and summarize a group of some findings and notes that have come out of my study of this subject matter below.
1) Sheikh Al-Kahlili followed a methodology concise and exclusive to the most important requirement. He stated this methodology several times in the book explicitly.
2) Sheikh Al-Khalili indicated the most evident opinion in an issue.
3) Sheikh Al-Khalili methodology is mostly characterized by conversation and discussion as he invented the existence of a student to converse and discuss. This method assists the student to correctly consolidate and understand information.
4) Frequently, Sheikh Al-Khalili issued the section under consideration with a regulation or measurable rule, then he referred the immeasurable to his book "Maqaleed" and he mentioned them sometimes.
5) Sheikh Al-Khalili explained terms that needed clarification or illustration. This method is frequent in his book. In addition to this impressive educational method, the explanation of meanings of words relieves burden incurred by students to search for these meanings.
6) Simplification Book is a complement to what the author missed in his book "Maqaleed". This is evidently clear in "Simplification", particularly in the introduction and conclusion.
7) Sheikh Al-Khalili concentrated on extensive language and did not say that those who adopted measurement were mistaken. Thus, he disagreed with the popular opinion.
8) Sheikh Al-Khalili used the term "Object" likely as used by his master Naser Ibn Abi Nabhan.
9) Sheikh Al-Khalili pursued the weigh method. At times, he agreed and disagreed with the majority, which signifies following a weighed method not a traditional method.
