﷽ Bismillah Hir Rahman Nir Rahim
In the name of Allah, The Most Gracious and The Most Merciful
Laqad haqqal qawlu ‘alaaa aksarihim fahum laa yu’minoon The decree ˹of torment˺ has already been justified against most of them, for they will never believe.
Innaa ja’alnaa feee a’naaqihim aghlaalan fahiya ilal azqaani fahum muqmahoon ˹It is as if˺ We have put shackles around their necks up to their chins, so their heads are forced up,
Wa ja’alnaa min baini aydeehim saddanw-wa min khalfihim saddan fa aghshai naahum fahum laa yubsiroon And have placed a barrier before them and a barrier behind them and covered them ˹all˺ up, so they fail to see ˹the truth˺.
Innamaa tunziru manit taba ‘az-Zikra wa khashiyar Rahmaana bilghaib, fabashshirhu bimaghfiratinw-wa ajrin kareem You can only warn those who follow the Reminder1 and are in awe of the Most Compassionate without seeing Him. So give them good news of forgiveness and an honourable reward.
Innaa Nahnu nuhyil mawtaa wa naktubu maa qaddamoo wa aasaarahum; wa kulla shai’in ahsainaahu feee Imaamim Mubeen It is certainly We Who resurrect the dead, and write what they send forth and what they leave behind. Everything is listed by Us in a perfect Record.
Wadrib lahum masalan Ashaabal Qaryatih; iz jaaa’ahal mursaloon Give them an example ˹O Prophet˺ of the residents of a town, when the messengers came to them.
Iz arsalnaaa ilaihimusnaini fakazzaboohumaa fa’azzaznaa bisaalisin faqaalooo innaaa ilaikum mursaloon We sent them two messengers, but they rejected both. So We reinforced ˹the two˺ with a third, and they declared, “We have indeed been sent to you ˹as messengers˺.”
Qaaloo maaa antum illaa basharum mislunaa wa maaa anzalar Rahmaanu min shai’in in antum illaa takziboon The people replied, “You are only humans like us, and the Most Compassionate has not revealed anything. You are simply lying!”
Qaaloo innaa tataiyarnaa bikum la’il-lam tantahoo lanar jumannakum wa la-yamassan nakum minnaa ‘azaabun aleem The people replied, “We definitely see you as a bad omen for us. If you do not desist, we will certainly stone you ˹to death˺ and you will be touched with a painful punishment from us.”
Qaaloo taaa’irukum ma’akum; a’in zukkirtum; bal antum qawmum musrifoon The messengers said, “Your bad omen lies within yourselves. Are you saying this because you are reminded ˹of the truth˺? In fact, you are a transgressing people.”
Wa jaaa’a min aqsal madeenati rajuluny yas’aa qaala yaa qawmit tabi’ul mursaleen Then from the farthest end of the city a man came, rushing. He advised, “O my people! Follow the messengers.
Wa maa liya laaa a’budul lazee fataranee wa ilaihi turja’oon And why should I not worship the One Who has originated me, and to Whom you will be returned.
‘A-attakhizu min dooniheee aalihatan iny-yuridnir Rahmaanu bidurril-laa tughni ‘annee shafaa ‘atuhum shai ‘anw-wa laa yunqizoon How could I take besides Him other gods whose intercession would not be of any benefit to me, nor could they save me if the Most Compassionate intended to harm me?
24 إِنِّىٓ إِذًۭا لَّفِى ضَلَـٰلٍۢ مُّبِينٍ
Inneee izal-lafee dalaa-lim-mubeen Indeed, I would then be clearly astray.
25 إِنِّىٓ ءَامَنتُ بِرَبِّكُمْ فَٱسْمَعُونِ
Inneee aamantu bi Rabbikum fasma’oon I do believe in your Lord, so listen to me.”
Qeelad khulil Jannnah; qaala yaa laita qawmee ya’lamoon ˹But they killed him, then˺ he was told ˹by the angels˺, “Enter Paradise!” He said, “If only my people knew
Wa maaa anzalnaa ‘alaa qawmihee mim ba’dihee min jundim minas-samaaa’i wa maa kunnaa munzileen We did not send any soldiers from the heavens against his people after his death, nor did We need to.
Yaa hasratan ‘alal ‘ibaaad; maa ya’teehim mir Rasoolin illaa kaanoo bihee yastahzi ‘oon Oh pity, such beings! No messenger ever came to them without being mocked.
Alam yaraw kam ahlak naa qablahum minal qurooni annahum ilaihim laa yarji’oon Have the deniers not considered how many peoples We destroyed before them who never came back to life again?
Wa Aayatul lahumul ardul maitatu ahyainaahaa wa akhrajnaa minhaa habban faminhu ya’kuloon There is a sign for them in the dead earth: We give it life, producing grain from it for them to eat.
Wa ja’alnaa feehaa jannaatim min nakheelinw wa a’naabinw wa fajjarnaa feeha minal ‘uyoon And We have placed in it gardens of palm trees and grapevines, and caused springs to gush forth in it,
Li ya’kuloo min samarihee wa maa ‘amilat-hu aideehim; afalaa yashkuroon So that they may eat from its fruit, which they had no hand in making. Will they not then give thanks?
Subhaanal lazee khalaqal azwaaja kullahaa mimmaa tumbitul ardu wa min anfusihim wa mimmaa laa ya’lamoon Glory be to the One Who created all ˹things in˺ pairs—˹be it˺ what the earth produces, their genders, or what they do not know!
Wa Aayatul lahumul lailu naslakhu minhun nahaara fa-izaa hum muzlimoon There is also a sign for them in the night: We strip from it daylight, then—behold!—they are in darkness.
Wash-shamsu tajree limustaqarril lahaa; zaalika taqdeerul ‘Azeezil Aleem The sun travels for its fixed term. That is the design of the Almighty, All-Knowing.
Walqamara qaddarnaahu manaazila hattaa ‘aada kal’ur joonil qadeem As for the moon, We have ordained ˹precise˺ phases for it, until it ends up like an old, curved palm stalk.
Lash shamsu yambaghee lahaaa an tudrikal qamara walal lailu saabiqun nahaar; wa kullun fee falaki yasbahoon It is not for the sun to catch up with the moon,1 nor does the night outrun the day. Each is travelling in an orbit of their own.
Wa Aayatul lahum annaa hamalnaa zurriyatahum fil fulkil mashhoon Another sign for them is that We carried their ancestors ˹with Noah˺ in the fully loaded Ark,
Wa in nashaa nughriqhum falaa sareekha lahum wa laa hum yunqazoon If We willed, We could drown them: then no one would respond to their cries, nor would they be rescued—
Wa izaa qeela lahumuttaqoo maa baina aideekum wa maa khalfakum la’allakum turhamoon ˹Still they turn away˺ when it is said to them, “Beware of what is ahead of you ˹in the Hereafter˺ and what is behind you ˹of destroyed nations˺ so you may be shown mercy.”
Wa izaa qeela lahum anfiqoo mimmaa razaqakumul laahu qaalal lazeena kafaroo lillazeena aamanooo anut’imu mal-law yashaaa’ul laahu at’amahooo in antum illaa fee dalaalim mubeen And when it is said to them, “Donate from what Allah has provided for you,” the disbelievers say to the believers, “Why should we feed those whom Allah could have fed if He wanted to? You are clearly astray!”
Maa yanzuroona illaa saihatanw waahidatan ta’khuzuhum wa hum yakhissimoon They must be awaiting a single Blast,1 which will seize them while they are ˹entrenched˺ in ˹worldly˺ disputes.
Falaa yastatee’oona taw siyatanw-wa laaa ilaaa ahlihim yarji’oon Then they will not be able to make a ˹last˺ will, nor can they return to their own people.
Wa nufikha fis-soori faizaa hum minal ajdaasi ilaa Rabbihim yansiloon The Trumpet will be blown ˹a second time˺, then—behold!—they will rush from the graves to their Lord.
Qaaloo yaa wailanaa mam ba’asanaa mim marqadinaa; haaza maa wa’adar Rahmanu wa sadaqal mursaloon They will cry, “Woe to us! Who has raised us up from our place of rest? This must be what the Most Compassionate warned us of; the messengers told the truth!”
In kaanat illaa saihatanw waahidatan fa-izaa hum jamee’ul ladainaa muhdaroon It will only take one Blast, then at once they will all be brought before Us.
Fal-Yawma laa tuzlamu nafsun shai’anw-wa laa tujzawna illaa maa kuntum ta’maloon On that Day no soul will be wronged in the least, nor will you be rewarded except for what you used to do.
Alam a’had ilaikum yaa Baneee Aadama al-laa ta’budush Shaitaana innahoo lakum ‘aduwwum mubeen Did I not command you, O Children of Adam, not to follow Satan, for he is truly your sworn enemy,
Al-Yawma nakhtimu ‘alaaa afwaahihim wa tukallimunaaa aideehim wa tashhadu arjuluhum bimaa kaanoo yaksiboon On this Day We will seal their mouths, their hands will speak to Us, and their feet will testify to what they used to commit.
Wa law nashaaa’u lata masna ‘alaaa aiyunihim fasta baqus-siraata fa-annaa yubsiroon Had We willed, We could have easily blinded their eyes, so they would struggle to find their way. How then could they see?
Wa law nashaaa’u lamasakhnaahum ‘alaa makaanatihim famas-tataa’oo mudiyyanw-wa laa yarji’oon And had We willed, We could have transfigured them on the spot,1 so they could neither progress forward nor turn back.
Wa man nu ‘ammirhu nunakkishu fil-khalq; afalaa ya’qiloon And whoever We grant a long life, We reverse them in development.1 Will they not then understand?
Wa maa ‘allamnaahush shi’ra wa maa yambaghee lah; in huwa illaa zikrunw-wa Qur-aanum mubeen We have not taught him poetry, nor is it fitting for him. This ˹Book˺ is only a Reminder and a clear Quran
Liyunzira man kaana haiyanw-wa yahiqqal qawlu ‘alal-kaafireen To warn whoever is ˹truly˺ alive and fulfil the decree ˹of torment˺ against the disbelievers.
Awalam yaraw annaa khalaqnaa lahum mimmaa ‘amilat aideenaaa an’aaman fahum lahaa maalikoon Do they not see that We singlehandedly1 created for them, among other things, cattle which are under their control?
Falaa yahzunka qawluhum; innaa na’lamu maa yusirroona wa maa yu’linoon So do not let their words grieve you ˹O Prophet˺. Indeed, We ˹fully˺ know what they conceal and what they reveal.
Awalam yaral insaanu annaa khalaqnaahu min nutfatin fa-izaa huwa khaseemum mubeen Do people not see that We have created them from a sperm-drop, then—behold!—they openly challenge ˹Us˺?
Wa daraba lanaa maslanw-wa nasiya khalqahoo qaala mai-yuhyil’izaama wa hiya rameem And they argue with Us—forgetting they were created—saying, “Who will give life to decayed bones?”
Qul yuh yeehal lazeee ansha ahaaa awwala marrah; wa Huwa bikulli khalqin ‘Aleem Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “They will be revived by the One Who produced them the first time, for He has ˹perfect˺ knowledge of every created being.
Allazee ja’ala lakum minash shajaril akhdari naaran fa-izaaa antum minhu tooqidoon ˹He is the One˺ Who gives you fire from green trees, and—behold!—you kindle ˹fire˺ from them.
Awa laisal lazee khalaqas samaawaati wal arda biqaadirin ‘alaaa ai-yakhluqa mislahum; balaa wa Huwal Khallaaqul ‘Aleem Can the One Who created the heavens and the earth not ˹easily˺ resurrect these ˹deniers˺?” Yes ˹He can˺! For He is the Master Creator, All-Knowing.
Innamaa amruhooo izaaa araada shai’an ai-yaqoola lahoo kun fa-yakoon All it takes, when He wills something ˹to be˺, is simply to say to it: “Be!” And it is!
Fa Subhaanal lazee biyadihee malakootu kulli shai-inw-wa ilaihi turja’oon So glory be to the One in Whose Hands is the authority over all things, and to Whom ˹alone˺ you will ˹all˺ be returned.
Hadith on Surah Yaseen
Traditionally, at many places you will find numerous benefits mentioned about reciting Surah Yaseen at different times of the day and in different situations. But, as a Muslim, we need to understand that any hadith should be followed only if it is authentic. We need to check the proper refences given. Hadiths can be classified as:
Sahih (Auhtentic)
Sahih hadith is a hadith which is quoted (narrated) by a just rawi (narrator), perfect thought, continuous sanad (not having ‘illat and not odd).
Dhaif (Weak)
Dhaif hadith is a hadith that does not meet the requirements as hasan hadith due to the loss of some conditions. Basically dhaif hadith is caused by two reasons: A. The sanad (chain of speakers) is not muttasil (continued) B. Other factors such as matan(content)
Maudhu (Fabricated)
Maudhu hadith is a false hadith or hadith created and made by a person (liar) whose creation was spelled out to the Prophet falsely whether it was intentional or not.
Classification of Hadith involves a complete study and deep understanding. You may follow the link to get more information. And, Allah knows best.
Now that you know the classifications of a hadith, read the different hadiths mentioned on Surah Yaseen.
When to recite Surah Yaseen?
Surah Yaseen for the dying (Sunan Abu Dawud Mishkat Al Misbah 2/188)
It was reported by Imam Ahmad from his Musnad from Safwaan: “ My shaykhs told me that they were with Ghudayf ibn al Harith al Thumani when he was dying. Ghudayf ibn al Harith said: “Can any of you read Surah Yaseen? So Saalih ibn Shurayh al Sakooni recited it, and when he reached the fortieth ayah, Ghudayf passed away. My Shaykhs used to say that when it is recited in the presence of one who is dying, it eases the pain of death.” That was the opinion of Safwaan.
‘Eesaa ibn al Mu’tamir read it for Ibn Mabad (when the latter as dying ) (al –Musnad, 16355)
Shaykh Ibn Uthaymeen said inal Sharh al Mumti fi Ahkaam al Janaaiz: “Surat Yaseen may be recited over him (i.e., the one who is dying) for the one who thinks that the hadith is correct.” He explained that this surah makes the passage of soul easier and because this surah contains good news of Paradise, as in the ayah (interpretation of the meaning):
“It was said: ‘Enter Paradise.’…” [Yaseen 36:26] , and because this surah makes the passage of the soul easier and Allah alone has complete knowledge.
Surah Yaseen for the dead/deceased
For the ones who have passed away, there is no sahih hadith to indicate that this should be done.
Abu Dawood narrated and others which says “Read Yaseen over your dead”. In this hadith the sanad is not correct and the narrators are not known. So, the hadith is not Sahih.
Al-‘Allaamah al-Albaani in Irwaa’ al-Ghaleel stated, hadeeth no. 68: “Reading Qur’aan over the dead is considered to be bid’ah (innovation), as he states at the end of his book Ahkaam al-Janaa’iz”.
Dhaif Hadith on Surah Yaseen
“Everything has a heart, and the heart of the Quran is Ya-Sin”
“Whoever reads it once, it is as if he has read the Quran ten times.”
“Whoever reads Surah Ya-Sin in one night will be forgiven in the morning.”
“Whoever continues to read it every night then dies, will die as a shahid (martyr).”
“Whoever enters the graveyard and reads Surah Ya-Sin, their (punishment) will be reduced that day, and he will have hasanat (reward) equal to the number of people in the graveyard.”

Important
“Say (O Muhammad): (But) the things that my Lord has indeed forbidden are Al-Fawahish (great evil sins and every kind of unlawful sexual intercourse) whether committed openly or secretly, sins (of all kinds), unrighteous oppression, joining partners (in worship) with Allah for which He has given no authority, and saying things about Allah of which you have no knowledge” [al-A’raf 7:33]
All these practices are not verified according to Sahih Hadith. When people practice deeds that are not authentic then such deeds are recorded as acts of Bid’ah (innovated acts) which is absolutely against sunnah. May Allah SWT protect us from such practices and enable us to achieve correct knowledge from authentic resources.
