Surah Yaseen recited by Sheikh Hani Ar Refaei

Fadhilat surah Yasin

Hadrat Ata Ibn-e Abi Ribah berkata bahawa Rasul-ullah SAW di beritakan telah bersabda,"Sesiapa yng membaca surah Yasin di permulaan hari, segala hajatnya bagi hari itu akan dipenuhi".

Banyak kelebihan-kelebihan daripada surah Yasin yang disebutkan di dalam banyak hadith-hadith. Adalah dikatakan di dalam sebuah hadith, "Segala sesuatu mempunyai hati, dan hati bagi Al-Quran ialah surah Yasin. Barangsiapa membaca surah Yasin Allah s.w.t. akan menulis pahala baginya seumpama ia membaca seluruh Al-Quran sebanyak sepuluh kali."

Menurut sebuah hadith yang lain, Allah s.w.t membacakan surah Yasin dan Taha seribu tahun lamanya sebelum terciptanya langit dan bumi dan mendengarkan ini, para malaikat pun berkata,"Umat dimana Al-Quran diturunkan akan dirahmati, hati-hati yang memikulnya , yakni yang menghafalnya akan dirahmati dan lidah-lidah yang membacanya akan juga dirahmati.

Ada satu lagi riwayat yang seumpama ini, "Sesiapa yang membaca surah Yasin semata mata kerana Allah, segala dosa-dosanya yang dahulu akan diampunkan. Oleh itu jadikanlah sebagai amalan untuk di baca ke atas orang yang mati."

Mengikut sebuah hadith, surah Yasin dinamakan Mub'mah (pemberi berita baik) didalam Torah kerana ia mengandungi manafa'at kepada pembacanya, didalam kehidupan dunia dan juga akhirat, ia menghindarkan penderitaan didunia dan juga akhirat dan menjauhkan kedahsyatan dikehidupan akhirat. Surah ini juga dikenali sebagai Rafi'ah Khafidah, iaitu yang mengangkat derjat orang-orang yang beriman dan menurunkan derjat orang-orang yang engkar ( tidak beriman). Menurut satu riwayat Rasul-Ullah s.a.w. bersabda, "Hatiku menghendaki supaya surah Yasin berada di setiap hati Ummatku," Mengikut sebuah hadith yang lain, jika sesaorang itu membaca surah Yasin pada setiap malam dan kemudiannya meninggal dunia, ia akan mati sebagai mati syahid. Diriwayatkan pada hadith yang lain, " Barang siapa membaca surah Yasin, ia akan diampunkan, siapa sahaja yang membaca semasa kelaparan, akan dihilangkan kelaparannya itu, barang siapa membacanya dikala sesat jalan, akan menjumpai jalannya semula, barang siapa membaca kehilangan binatang akan mendapatkannya semula, dan bila sesaorang itu membacanya kerana bimbangkan kekurangan makanan, makanan itu akan mencukupi. Dan jika membaca kepada orang yang menghadapi penderitaan maut, akan dimudahkan baginya. Dan jika sesaorang itu membaca keatas perempuan yang sukar untuk melahirkan anak akan dimudahkan juga baginya."

Maqri rahmat-Ullah 'alaih berkata, "Jikalau surah Yasin dibaca oleh seorang yang takut pemerintah atau musuh, ia akan dihilangkan akan ketakutan itu. "Menurut sebuah hadith yang lain jikalau sesaorang itu membaca surah Yasin dan surah Was-Saffat pada hari Jumaat dan memohon kepada Allah sesuatu, doanya akan diterima. ( Kebanyakan daripada yang diatas dipetik daripada Mazahir-e-haq walaupun sebahagian ulamak hadith telah mempersoalkan sebahagian daripada riwayatnya.)

Virtues of Surah Ya'seen

Many virtues of Surah Ya'seen are mentioned in the Ahaadith. Rasoolullah (SAW) has said:

"Everything has a heart, the heart of the Qur'an is Surah Ya'seen. Whoever reads Surah Ya'seen (once), Allah Ta'aala records for him a reward equal to that of reading the whole Qur'an ten times."
(Tirmizi, Daarimi)
It is related from Hazrat Ata bin Abi Ribah (RA) that Rasulullah (SAW) said:
"Whoever reads S.Ya'seen in the beginning of the day, all his needs for that day will be fulfilled."

According to another Hadith, Allah Ta'aala recited S.Ya'seen and Surah Taha 1000 years before the creation of the Heavens & the Earth , and on hearing this, the angels said: "Blessing is for that Ummat unto whom the Qur'an will be sent down, blessing is for the hearts which will bear (memorize it) and blessing is for the tongues which will recite it."

Another narration says: Whoever reads Surah Ya'seen for the pleasure of Allah only, all his previous sins are forgiven. Therefore, make a practice of reading this Surah over your dead."

According to another hadith, S.Ya'seen is named in the Torah as Mun'mah (‘giver of good things‘) because it contains benefits for its readers in this life as well as in the Hereafter, it removes from him the afflictions of this world and the next and takes away the dread of the next life. This Surah is also known as "Rafi'ah Khafidah" (that which exalts the status of the believers and degrades that of the unbelievers). According to a narration, Rasulullah (SAW) said:

"My heart desires that Surah Ya'seen should be present in the heart of everyone of my Ummat."

Another hadith relates that if anybody recites S.Ya'seen every night and then dies, he dies as a Shaheed (martyr).
(Tabaraani)

It is reported in a hadith that: "Whoever reads it in hunger, will be satisfied; whoever reads it while having lost his way, will find his way; whoever reads it on losing an animal, will find the same. And when one reads it apprehending that his food will run short, that food will become sufficient; and if one reads it beside a person who is in the agonies of death, his agonies will be made easy for him; and if anyone reads it on a women experiencing difficulty in child-birth, her delivery will become easy."

Rasulullah said: "The person who reads S.Ya'seen every night, (he) will be pardoned."
(Baihaqi)

Hazrat Maqri (RA) said: "If S.Ya'seen is read by one who fears the ruler or an enemy, will have his fears removed."


Therefore, in the light of the above ahaadith, every believing Muslim should attempt to read the heart of the Qur'an every night (or, at least frequently) and it has been said that it should be recited any time between Maghrib & bedtime. Insha-Allah, Allah ta'aala will reward the reciter in abundance both in this world and the Hereafter. Morover, with the approach of Ramadhan, for those of us who may not be able to recite the entire Qur'an, one may keep in mind the hadith in Tirmidhi that, "Whoever reads the heart of the Qur'an - ‘Ya'seen‘ in Ramadhan will receive the thawaab of reading 10 Qur'ans."

Rewards and Virtues of Surah Yasin, al Waqiah and al Mulk

It has been said by our prominent scholars that one should be especially observant in reciting Surat Ya Sin (36), Surat al Waqia (56) and Surat al Mulk.(67)

The Virtues and Benefits of Surah Yasin (36)

1. The Prophet (SalAllahu alayhi wasalam) said, ‘Surely everything has a heart, and the heart of the Qur’an is Yasin. I would love that it be in the heart of every person of my people’[Bazzar]. (S.Muhammad Ali Sabuni, Tafsir-al-SabuniVol.2)

2. The Prophet (SalAllahu alayhi wasalam) said, ‘Whoever recites Yasin once Allah will record the reward of reciting the Qur’an ten times.’[Maqal, Tirmidhi 2812/A & Dhahabi]

3. It has been reported by Aisha (radiAllahu anha)that the Prophet (SalAllahu alayhi wasalam) said that there is a surah in the Qur’an that intercedes for itsreciter and forgive its listener. Know! It is Surah Yasin. It is called ‘Mu’amma’ in the Torah. It was enquired, what is Mu’amma? The Prophet (SalAllahu alayhi wasalam) said, ‘it embraces the person with the goodness of this world and removes the dismay of the Hereafter’[Hashiya of Tafsir Jalalalayn , pg 368].

4. The Prophet said, ‘Whoever recited Surah Yasin in the night seeking Allah’s pleasure, Allah would forgive him’[Ibn Hibban, Darimi 3283/A, Abu Yala, Tabarani, Baihaqi & Ibn Mardawaih]

5. Ma`qil ibn Yasar (Allah be pleased with him) relates that the Messenger of Allah (Allah’s blessings and peace be upon him, his family, companions, andfollowers) said,”Ya Sin is the heart of the Qur’an. No one reads it intending thereby Allah and the Next Abode except that Allah forgives them. Recite it for your deceasedones.” [Related by Ahmad, Abu Dawud, Nasa'i (this wording is his), and Hakim, who deemed it rigorously authenticated (sahih)]

6. Imam Ghazali explained that this is because soundness of faith rests on acknowledging Resurrection and Judgment, and Surat Ya Sin details this in the most emphatic of ways. Imam Fakhr al-Din al-Razi concurred.

7. Imam Tibi explained in his commentary on Mishkat al-Masabih that Surat Ya Sin was called ‘the Heart of the Qur ‘an ‘ because of what it contains of overwhelming proofs, decisive signs, subtle spiritual meanings, eloquent admonition, and stern warnings.

The Virtues and Benefits of Surah al Waqiah (56)

8. The Prophet said, ‘Whoever recites surah al Waqiah at night would never encounter poverty’ [Ibn Sunni 620]

9. The Prophet said, ‘Surah al Waqiah is the Surah of Wealth, so recite it and teach it to your children’[Ibn Asakir]

The Virtues and Benefits of Surah al Mulk (67)

10. The Prophet said, ‘There is a surah in the Qur’an which is only thirty verses. It defended whoevere\recited it , until it puts him into paradise ‘ i.e.Surah al Mulk[Fath al Qadir 5/257, Sahihul Jamiea 1/680, Tabrani inAl-Awsat & Ibn Mardawaith]

11. The Prophet said, ‘Surah al Mulk is the protector from the torment of the grave ‘[Sahihul Jamiea 1/680, Hakim 2/498 & Nasai]

12. Jabir (radiAllahu anhu) said it was the custom of the Holy Prophet sallallahu alaihe wasallam not to go to sleep until he had read Tabarakalladhi Biyadihil Mulk and Alif Laam Meem Tanzeel. [Ahmad, Tirmidhi and Darami]

13. Anas (radiAllahu anhu) reported Rasulullah (sallallahu alaiyhi wasalam) as saying, "There is a Surah which will plead for its reciter till it causes him to enter paradise" (Tabarakalladhi Biyadihil Mulk). [Tabrani]

Chapter 36: Surah Yaseen - Sheikh Su'ud Shuraim

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
36:1 Ya Seen.
36:2 I swear by the Quran full of wisdom
36:3 Most surely you are one of the apostles
36:4 On a right way.
36:5 A revelation of the Mighty, the Merciful.
36:6 That you may warn a people whose fathers were not warned, so they are heedless.
36:7 Certainly the word has proved true of most of them, so they do not believe.
36:8 Surely We have placed chains on their necks, and these reach up to their chins, so they have their heads raised aloft.
36:9 And We have made before them a barrier and a barrier behind them, then We have covered them over so that they do not see.
36:10 And it is alike to them whether you warn them or warn them not: they do not believe.
36:11 You can only warn him who follows the reminder and fears the Beneficent God in secret; so announce to him forgiveness and an honorable reward.
36:12 Surely We give life to the dead, and We write down what they have sent before and their footprints, and We have recorded everything in a clear writing.
36:13 And set out to them an example of the people of the town, when the messengers came to it.
36:14 When We sent to them two, they rejected both of them, then We strengthened (them) with a third, so they said: Surely we are messengers to you.
36:15 They said: You are naught but mortals like ourselves, nor has the Beneficent God revealed anything; you only lie.
36:16 They said: Our Lord knows that we are most surely messengers to you.
36:17 And nothing devolves on us but a clear deliverance (of the message).
36:18 They said: Surely we augur evil from you; if you do not desist, we will certainly stone you, and there shall certainly afflict vou a painful chastisement from us.
36:19 They said: Your evil fortune is with you; what! if you are reminded! Nay, you are an extravagant people.
36:20 And from the remote part of the city there came a man running, he said: O my people! follow the messengers;
36:21 Follow him who does not ask you for reward, and they are the followers of the right course;
36:22 And what reason have I that I should not serve Him Who brought me into existence? And to Him you shall be brought back;
36:23 What! shall I take besides Him gods whose intercession, If the Beneficent God should desire to afflict me with a harm, shall not avail me aught, nor shall they be able to deliver me?
36:24 In that case I shall most surely be in clear error:
36:25 Surely I believe in your Lord, therefore hear me.
36:26 It was said: Enter the garden. He said: O would that my people had known
36:27 Of that on account of which my Lord has forgiven me and made me of the honored ones!
36:28 And We did not send down upon his people after him any hosts from heaven, nor do We ever send down.
36:29 It was naught but a single cry, and lo! they were still.
36:30 Alas for the servants! there comes not to them an apostle but they mock at him.
36:31 Do they not consider how many of the generations have We destroyed before them, because they do not turn to them?
36:32 And all of them shall surely be brought before Us.
36:33 And a sign to them is the dead earth: We give life to it and bring forth from it grain SQ they eat of it.
36:34 And We make therein gardens of palms and grapevines and We make springs to flow forth in it,
36:35 That they may eat of the fruit thereof, and their hands did not make it; will they not then be grateful?
36:36 Glory be to Him Who created pairs of all things, of what the earth grows, and of their kind and of what they do not know.
36:37 And a sign to them is the night: We draw forth from it the day, then lo! they are in the dark;
36:38 And the sun runs on to a term appointed for it; that is the ordinance of the Mighty, the Knowing.
36:39 And (as for) the moon, We have ordained for it stages till it becomes again as an old dry palm branch.
36:40 Neither is it allowable to the sun that it should overtake the moon, nor can the night outstrip the day; and all float on in a sphere.
36:41 And a sign to them is that We bear their offspring in the laden ship.
36:42 And We have created for them the like of it, what they will ride on.
36:43 And if We please, We can drown them, then there shall be no succorer for them, nor shall they be rescued
36:44 But (by) mercy from Us and for enjoyment till a time.
36:45 And when it is said to them: Guard against what is before you and what is behind you, that mercy may be had on you.
36:46 And there comes not to them a communication of the communications of their Lord but they turn aside from it.
36:47 And when it is said to them: Spend out of what Allah has given you, those who disbelieve say to those who believe: Shall we feed him whom, if Allah please, He could feed? You are in naught but clear error.
36:48 And they say: When will this threat come to pass, if you are truthful?
36:49 They wait not for aught but a single cry which will overtake them while they yet contend with one another.
36:50 So they shall not be able to make a bequest, nor shall they return to their families.
36:51 And the trumpet shall be blown, when lo ! from their graves they shall hasten on to their Lord.
36:52 They shall say: O woe to us! who has raised us up from our sleeping-place? This is what the Beneficent God promised and the apostles told the truth.
36:53 There would be naught but a single cry, when lo ! they shall all be brought before Us;
36:54 So this day no soul shall be dealt with unjustly in the least; and you shall not be rewarded aught but that which you did.
36:55 Surely the dwellers of the garden shall on that day be in an occupation quite happy.
36:56 They and their wives shall be in shades, reclining on raised couches.
36:57 They shall have fruits therein, and they shall have whatever they desire.
36:58 Peace: a word from a Merciful Lord.
36:59 And get aside today, O guilty ones!
36:60 Did I not charge you, O children of Adam ! that you should not serve the Shaitan? Surely he is your open enemy,
36:61 And that you should serve Me; this is the right way.
36:62 And certainly he led astray numerous people from among you. What! could you not then understand?
36:63 This is the hell with which you were threatened.
36:64 Enter into it this day because you disbelieved.
36:65 On that day We will set a seal upon their mouths, and their hands shall speak to Us, and their feet shall bear witness of what they earned.
36:66 And if We please We would certainly put out their eyes, then they would run about groping for the way, but how should they see?
36:67 And if We please We would surely transform them in their place, then they would not be able to go on, nor will they return.
36:68 And whomsoever We cause to live long, We reduce (him) to an abject state in constitution; do they not then understand?
36:69 And We have not taught him poetry, nor is it meet for him; it is nothing but a reminder and a plain Quran,
36:70 That it may warn him who would have life, and (that) the word may prove true against the unbelievers.
36:71 Do they not see that We have created cattle for them, out of what Our hands have wrought, so they are their masters?
36:72 And We have subjected them to them, so some of them they have to ride upon, and some of them they eat.
36:73 And therein they have advantages and drinks; will they not then be grateful?
36:74 And they have taken gods besides Allah that they may be helped.
36:75 (But) they shall not be able to assist them, and they shall be a host brought up before them.
36:76 Therefore let not their speech grieve you; surely We know what they do in secret and what they do openly.
36:77 Does not man see that We have created him from the small seed? Then lo! he is an open disputant.
36:78 And he strikes out a likeness for Us and forgets his own creation. Says he: Who will give life to the bones when they are rotten?
36:79 Say: He will give life to them Who brought them into existence at first, and He is cognizant of all creation
36:80 He Who has made for you the fire (to burn) from the green tree, so that with it you kindle (fire).
36:81 Is not He Who created the heavens and the earth able to create the like of them? Yea! and He is the Creator (of all), the Knower.
36:82 His command, when He intends anything, is only to say to it: Be, so it is.
36:83 Therefore glory be to Him in Whose hand is the kingdom of all things, and to Him you shall be brought back.
