Surah Yaseen -Terjuma o Tafsir

Quran is the best Marvel and blessing of Allah SWT which He bestowed upon humankind. On recitation of each word of the Holy Quran, there is a reward for a believer. Other than the reward on the general text of the Quran, some special Surahs hold recompense superior as compared to others.

Surah Yasin is amongst the most revered Surah of Holy Quran.

Muslim youth throughout the world recite it, memorize it and tune into its recitation with incredible sanctity and respect. There is a reason behind the greater prestige of Surah Yasin specified by our beloved Prophet Muhammad PBUH in His different sayings entailing various advantages of its recitation. Following lines talk about the significant benefits of reciting Surah Yasin.

Yaseen –The Heart of Quran

Our beloved Prophet Muhammad PBUH said:

“Surely, everything has a heart, and the heart of Quran is Yaseen. I would like that it be be in the heart of every believer of my ummah.” –Tafsir -al- Sabuni, volume:2

Everything has a heart, and the heart of Quran is Surah Yasin. It shows the importance of this Surah as a single word of Holy Quran carries ten rewards then surely the heart of this Holy Book would bring greater reward than that. Another thing clear from this saying is that Prophet Muhammad PBUH confirmed His likeness for the remembrance and memorization of this Surah by His followers.

Magnificent Reward

Our Prophet Muhammad PBUH states another incredible advantage of reciting Surah Yasin:

Whoever reads Surah Yaseen, Allah rewards him that is equal to that of reading the whole Quran.” –Tirmidhi 2812/A

These Hadith do not require any clarification as it is explicitly declared that reciting Surah Yasin once is equivalent to reciting Holy Quran ten times. This gives all the more reasons for a believer to memorize Surah Yasin so it can be perused many times in a day to obtain grand rewards, the value of which is beyond human comprehension.

Ya sin (also Yaseen; Arabic: يٰسٓ, yasin; the letters 'Yāʼ' and 'Sīn') is the 36th chapter of the Quran (sūrah). It has 83 verses (āyāt). It is regarded an earlier "Meccan surah". Some scholars maintain that verse 12 is from the Medinan period. While the surah begins in Juz' 22, most of it is in Juz' 23.

The surah begins with the eponymous (muqatta'at) Arabic letters: يس (yā sīn). The meaning of the letters Ya Sin, while being primarily unknown, is debated amongst Muslim religious academics. One of the interpretations is "O human being!" referring to Muhammad since the verses that follow are translated as "By the Qur´an, full of Wisdom, Thou art indeed one of the messengers". Tafsir al-Jalalayn, a Sunni beginners exegesis (tafseer), concludes, "God knows best what He means by these [letters]."

The surah focuses on establishing the Qur'an as a divine source, and it warns of the fate of those who mock God's revelations and are stubborn. The surah tells of the punishments that plagued past generations of nonbelievers as a warning to present and future generations. Additionally, the surah reiterates God's sovereignty as exemplified by His creations through signs from nature.

It has been proposed that yaseen is the "heart of the Quran". The meaning of “the heart” has been the basis of much scholarly discussion. The eloquence of this surah is traditionally regarded as representative of the miraculous nature of the Qur'an. It presents the essential themes of the Qur'an, such as the sovereignty of God, the unlimited power of God as exemplified by His creations, Paradise, the ultimate punishment of nonbelievers, resurrection, the struggle of believers against polytheists and nonbelievers, and the reassurance that the believers are on the right path, among others. Yā Sīn presents the message of the Qur'an in an efficient and powerful manner, with its quick and rhythmic verses. This surah asserts that Muhammad was not a poet, rather he was the greatest and the Last Messenger of Allah (the "Seal of the Prophets").
