Subject Matter and Theme;
Imam Ahmad, Abu Daud, Nasai, Ibn Majah and Tabarani have related on the authority of
Hadrat Ma'qil bin Yasar that the Holy Prophet said: "Surah Ya Sin is the heart of the Qur'an."

NurulQuran Dawrah e Quran
This is similar to describing the Surah Al Fatiha has the Umm al Qur'an (the essence or core
of the Qur'an), because Al Fatihah contains the sum and substance of the teaching of the
whole Quran. The Surah Ya Sin has been called the throbbing heart of the Qur'an because it
presents the message of the Qur'an in a most forceful manner, which breaks the inertness
and stirs the spirit of man to action.
Again Imam Ahmad, Aba Da'ud and Ibn Majah have related from the same Ma'qil bin Yasar
that the Holy Prophet said: "Recite Surah Ya Sin to the dying ones among you." The object is
not only to revive and refresh the whole Islamic creed in the mind of the dying person but
also bring before him, in particular, a complete picture of the Hereafter so that he may
know what stages he would have to pass through after crossing the stage of this worldly life.
In view of this, it would be desirable that along with the recitation of the Surah Ya Sin its
translation also is made for the benefit of the person who does not know Arabic so that the
purpose of the admonition is duly fulfilled.
