Firstly: To choose suitable books of Tafsir (exegesis of the Quran), a student of knowledge should determine their level, benefit from recommended lectures, and consult the book "Al-Mushawwiq ila al-Quran" by Amr Al-Sharqawi.

Secondly: The book "Hadaiq al-Ruh wa al-Raihan" is a massive Tafsir (33 volumes) by Sheikh Muhammad al-Amin al-Harari al-Shafi'i, a great scholar from Abyssinia, who has numerous works.

Thirdly: "Hadaiq al-Ruh wa al-Raihan" is an extensive Tafsir that focuses on the grammar, language, and rhetoric of the Quran.
