BENEFITS OF RECITING SURAH AL-YASEEN
Allah addresses mankind through
The Holy Qur’an and we address
Allah by our supplications.
Though the entire Holy Qur’an is
a miracle and the words of
Allah, the special merits found
in this blessed Surah
particularly, can be understood
by referring to the narrations,
describing the extraordinary
excellence and benefits
available to the faithful
through regular recitation of
this Surah.
Islam’s foundation is based on
“understanding” and the measure
of nearness to Allah is the
understanding of Truth. The Holy
Prophet (S.A.W.S.) is the
foremost in knowledge and
worship of Allah. Heart of the
Universe is the Holy Prophet
(S.A.W.S.) as confirmed by The
Hadees-e-Qudsi:“Had it not been
for you, I would not have
created Heavens.” This Surah,
which specially pertains to the
Holy Prophet (S.A.W.S.), becomes
the heart of the Holy Qur’an
just as he himself is the heart
of the world. This Surah starts
with an address to the Holy
Prophet (S.A.W.S.) as the Chief
of All Messengers and the Holy
Qur’an says on oath that he is
among the True Messengers sent
by Allah. In a subsequent verse,
the Holy Qur’an tells us that
all the worlds of existence are
wrapped-up and placed in him;
that the center and heart of the
universe is Muhammad (S.A.W.S.).
A minute study of the whole
Qur’an leads us to conclude that
its Basic Subjects are related
to:
1. Origin of Life
2. The Hereafter
3. Calling people towards
religion (Tauheed)
In reality, the heart of this
Noble Qur’an is the verses of
knowledge about Allah, The
Creator and The Recaller.
Surah YaSeen may be divided into
four parts:
1.
Muhammad (S.A.W.S.), Holy
Qur’an, objective of the
message, and the lovers of this
Message.
2.
About the three Messengers of
Allah and their invitation
towards Tauheed.
3.
About The Signs of Allah
4.
Relates to the Day of Judgment,
accountability, Paradise and
Hell.
Who ever recite Surah al-Yaseen
solely for seeking the Pleasure
of Allah, all his sins will be
forgiven and he will be given
reward equal to the reward of
reciting the whole Holy Qur’an
twelve times. If this Surah is
recited near a person who is on
his deathbed, then for each
letter recited, twelve angels
are sent for his forgiveness and
they will remain even when the
soul is being taken by the Angel
of Death. The angels also take
part in his funeral rites. If
this Surah is recited near a
person who is on the verge of
passing away (Sakarat-ul-Mawt)
then an angel brings a drink
from Paradise, and as he drinks,
he feels greatly eased.
Recitation of this Surah will
bring all Good (Hasana) in this
life and life here-after and
also safety from all evils in
this life and in here-after.
What ever are the Hajaat (needs)
will be answered by Allah when
requested after reciting this
Surah. The reward of reciting
this Surah is compared to
performing Hajj twenty times.
Drinking the water in which this
Surah is dissolved cures
thousand types of illnesses.
The Holy Prophet (S.A.W.S.) said
that every thing has its heart
and the heart of Holy Qur’an is
Surah YaSeen.He also said that
if this Surah is recited in a
graveyard then all punishment is
lifted for that day from all the
graves and the reciter gets the
reward equal to the sum of all
good deeds performed by all
those who are buried in that
graveyard.
Imam Jaffer al-Sadiq (A.S.) said
that drinking this Surah after
writing it in a mixture of
Saffron and rose water for seven
days ( it should be written
fresh for each day) makes a
person have such a good memory
that he will never forget what
ever he hears only once. If he
is a debater then he will win
the debate. He will command
great respect and attain high
status. If a breast-feeding
woman drinks it, it will
increase the milk.
Imam Jaffer al-Sadiq (A.S.) said
that whoever recites this Surah
in the morning will be protected
from all calamities and problems
during the day and whoever
recites this Surah at night will
be protected from Shaitaan by
seventy thousand angels.
Recitation of this Surah saves
the reciter from the squeezing
of the grave and its torments.
Passing the difficult stages in
the hereafter will also be made
easy for him.
Whoever keeps this Sura in his
possession will be protected
from the jealousy of people.
It also acts as a cure from
disease. |
