“The Quran is like a treasure trapped in a glass receptacle; mankind can view and benefit from this treasure, but they are in need of Tafseer, for Tafseer acts like the key that unlocks the treasure so that mankind can benefit from it to the greatest possible extent.”
The purpose of Tafseer of Quran is to study the principles and rules which the Quran came to clarify:
The Tafseer of Quran is of dignified importance for a person who wishes to understand and implement the Quran with its true essence and meaning.
