The necessity of Tafseer of the Qur’an- 3
Assalam olaikum,
We know that Allah (swt) communicates with mankind in an easily comprehensible way. Due to this reason Allah (swt) has sent every messenger in the language of his people. However, there are three reasons why tafseer is essential in spite of these facts.
Firstly, Allah (swt) uses the most clear and concise language to make his message clear. However, only those who are well-versed in the Arabic language can understand His message clearly.
Secondly, Al-Qur'an does not always describe the events or references for which every specific verse has been revealed. The background of the verses needs to be understood well only then will the meaning of the verses become clear.
Lastly, some words may have various meanings. It is the job of the person who does tafseer to explain the exact meaning of the words. Only then can a layman understand the actual context in which the words have been used. Misconstruing the words can lead to a lot of confusion and conflicts.
Therefore, the job of a mufassir (one who interprets Quran) is to enlighten the laymen about all of the above points. So from the above discussion, we see that the science of tafseer is meant to enlighten the mankind about the Holy Book that has been sent down to them from Allah (swt).
