He considered his book as a statement of the [[Ta'wil]] of the verses of the Qur'an and by Ta'wil, he meant  the hadiths that are narrated from [[infallibles]]. He also mentioned the virtue of infallibles. He didn't add any comment on the hadiths but in his long introduction, he presented his views and analysis on the interpretational theories. There is another introduction for this book by [[Abu l-Hasan Sharif al-'Amili al-Isfahani]] (d. 1138/1725 or 1140/1727) under the title ''[[Mirat al-anwar wa mishkat al-asrar]]''.

Al-'Allama al-Bahrani presented his ideas on interpretation and Qur'anic quests in 16 chapters in introduction. He believed that the Qur'an exclusively should be interpreted by [[Imams (a)]]. Even though that his notion of interpretation is close to Ta'wil, in the 6th chapter, he expressly prevented other people to interpret the Qur'an. In the 15th chapter, he stated some points on the unity of the Qur'an and [['Itrat]]. He also emphasized on the inward meaning of Qur'an and on the belief that its knowledge is in the hand of Ahl al-Bayt (a). In the last chapter, he mentioned some of the sources of the book and introduced some terms like [[Nasikh wa Mansukh]], [[Muhkam wa Mutashabih]], [['Am wa Khas]], [[Taqdim wa Ta'khir]] but he didn't pose any definition about these terms. Thus, he began to enter to the exegesis. The atmosphere of the book in proving the rightfulness of Ahl al-Bayt (a) and introducing the virtues of them.
