Understanding verses through context is an important issue among structuralist commentators. The Tafsir al-Asās of Saeed Huwwi, due to its importance among this approach, has caused the number of used contexts and its types to be counted, and the accuracy of the commentator in his interpretations has also been measured.This research was done with descriptive-analytical method and using library resources.Huwwi has used context in 357 cases and 12 functions.Rejecting and accepting opinions, discovering the connection of stories with the meaning and concepts of the surah are among the most important functions of interpretation in the Tafsir al-Asās. Quoting the opinions of the most important structuralist commentators, along with the opinions of Huwwi, is telling that these commentators, while having a unity of approach, have differences of opinion.One of the effective factors in the multiplicity of understandings is the lack of sufficient attention to the structuring of the surah and the types of contexts, prioritizing the intellectual foundations and opinions of the commentator and other thinkers over the context, and Huwwi’s paying close attention to proving the connection between the chosen theme of each surah and the verses of that surah. Some of the mentioned cases are common among the structuralist interpretations and some are specific to the Tafsir al-Asās.
