Al-Majlisi could well manage all the works needed, so he only sent his students to collect and write [[verses]] of the [[Qur'an]] and hadiths under the titles he organized. The rest of selections from text and writing the final draft was done by he himself.<ref>Al-Mu'jam al-mufahras, vol.1, pp.7-8 (Arabic)</ref> However, finishing the whole book was done after he passed away by his students.<ref>A'yan al-Shi'a, vol.9, p.183 (Arabic); Lu'lu' al-bahrayn, p.57</ref>

Al-Majlisi chose titles for the front cover of every book and organized titles in every book. He began every chapter with verses of the glorious Qur'an which were either directly related or through different historical, hadith and interpretational evidences they were related with the title; then he brought quotations from different [[exegetes]] (usually [[Amin al-Islam al-Tabarsi]] and [[Fakhr al-Razi) and then he mentioned hadiths related with any title together with their references. He sometimes narrated a part of a hadith and brought it in full elsewhere more appropriate (he sometimes mentioned where he had brought the hadith in full) and also, if necessary, he explained the meaning of hadiths which do not exist in those volumes written by his students.
