Surah Ya-Sin – Ya-Sin

Classification: Makki | Verses: 83

Surah Ya-Sin, revealed in Makkah, is the thirty-sixth chapter of the Quran and often called the “heart of the Quran.” It emphasizes the truth of the Quran and the prophethood of Muhammad (ﷺ). The surah contains vivid reminders of past nations who rejected their messengers and faced destruction. It highlights signs of Allah in creation — such as the earth, plants, the alternation of night and day, and celestial bodies — all pointing to His oneness. The surah strongly stresses the reality of resurrection, accountability, and the contrast between the destiny of believers and disbelievers. It closes by affirming Allah’s absolute command: He only says “Be,” and it is.
