Importance of Surah Yaseen
All Quran Surahs are equally important. However, some Surahs have special benefits and virtues that we know some of, while Allah The Almighty knows them all. Surah Yaseen (or: Surah Yasin) is one of these special Surahs, as Prophet Muhammad called it “The Heart Of Quran”.
Surah Yaseen is the 36th surah of the Quran. It’s a Meccan Surah and has 5 Rukus and 83 verses. It also has 3 main themes that pretty much sum up the whole message of the Quran. These three themes are:
- Tawheed (saying that Allah is one and only)
- Risalah: Muhammad (PBUH) is the messenger of Allah to humanity.
- The Judgment Day (Yaum Al Qiyamah)
