The Majlis-i maktub further discusses themes such as the evolution of religious law (shariat) and its culmination in the qiyamat (resurrection), the relation between free will and predestination, the interplay between the exoteric and esoteric aspects of faith, and the role and function of the Shi?i Imams in the cosmological narrative.This treatise is arguably the most dense expression of al-Shahrastanis thought, and it demonstrably indicates the Ismaili inclination of this Muslim scholar who has usually been regarded as a Shafii-Ashari.
