Surah Yaseen

Surah Yaseen is a Makki Surah, but verse 45 is termed a Madni verse because it was revealed to the Prophet in Medina after hijrah. Surah Yaseen is one of the most famous and virtuous Surahs of the Holy Quran, often referred to as the 'Heart of the Quran' because it reiterates the fundamentals of Islam and thus is a summary of the Holy Quran.

Themes and Subject Matter of Surah Yaseen


The main theme of Surah Yaseen revolves around the basics of Islam, the importance of the word of Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى), the day of resurrection, and the truth about Heaven and Hell. The Surah warns the disbelievers about the consequences of refuting the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ). It talks about the Oneness of Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى) and the various signs that are present for mankind to appreciate the existence of a Creator.


Surah Yaseen also comforts the believers and gives them greetings of Paradise for facing hardship, tyranny, and extreme oppression by the disbelievers. It is a reassurance from Allah tabarak wa ta'ala to the faithful that they are on the right path and will be rewarded by Allah in the hereafter. It also describes the ultimate punishment for those who refute the existence of Allah Azzawajal.


The Surah maintains the absolute sovereignty and power of Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى) and how His oneness and magnificence can be seen in His creations. Surah Yaseen thus summarizes the entire Quran and presents the message of the Holy Quran in a coherent and epitomized manner.
