Advices are divided into sections; some sections are created directly with the name of the advices. The author first gave advice to his son, and then supported these advices by exemplifying the verses, hadiths, words of the ancestors' and short stories. He puts special attention to the problem of teaching younger generation to all these necessary life skills and values. In addition, Keykavus says that human beings should possess characteristics such as knowledge, honesty, generosity, to keep religious values in words and behavior, not to hurt people and to be able to see the power of people. Therefore, Qabusnama still remains one of the important books in terms of giving advice to children and the values contained in the Qabusnama are important today.
