Summary of Surah Yasin

Introduction

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Surah Yasin is considered one of the Meccan surahs.
The surah begins with disjointed letters: "Ya Seen."
The Qur'an, full of wisdom, confirms that Muhammad (PBUH) is among the messengers on a straight path.
The Qur'an was revealed by the power of the Almighty, the Merciful.

The messengers came to warn a people whose forefathers were not warned, so they were heedless.
Most people do not believe, and the decree has been confirmed against them.
Allah has placed shackles around their necks, so they cannot see.
It is the same whether you warn them or do not warn them; they will not believe.

Those who follow the reminder and fear the Most Merciful in the unseen are given good news of forgiveness and a noble reward.
Allah revives the dead and records what they have sent ahead and their traces, and everything is in a clear record.

Messengers were sent to a town, but its people denied them.
Allah sent three messengers who said: "We have been sent to you."
The people of the town said to them: "You are only men like us, and the Most Merciful has not revealed anything."
The messengers confirmed their mission and that Allah knows they are sent.
A man from the farthest part of the city called his people to believe in the messengers.
The believing man said: "O my people, follow the messengers, who do not ask you for any payment and are rightly guided."

The people of the town threatened the messengers with stoning and punishment.
The believing man defended the messengers and called to believe in the One who created him.
Allah destroyed the people of the town with a single cry, and they became silent.
Woe to the servants, never did a messenger come to them but they mocked him.

Allah revived the dead earth and brought forth grain from it.
He created gardens of date palms and grapes and caused springs to burst forth in them so they may eat of its fruit.
Allah created pairs of all things from what the earth produces and from themselves.
The night, the day, the sun, and the moon are all signs from Allah.
The sun runs to a specific course, and the moon has phases decreed by Allah until it becomes like an old date stalk.
All float in their orbits.

Allah carried the descendants of Adam in the loaded ark and created for them similar vessels to ride.
If Allah willed, He could drown them, and there would be no savior for them except His mercy.

The polytheists refuse to spend from what Allah has provided for them.
They question the promise of Allah, awaiting nothing but a single cry that will seize them while they dispute.

When the trumpet is blown, people will be resurrected from their graves to their Lord.
They will say: "Woe to us, who has raised us from our resting place? This is what the Most Gracious promised, and the messengers told the truth."
On that day, no soul will be wronged at all, and you will be recompensed only for what you used to do.

The companions of Paradise will be joyfully engaged, they and their spouses reclining in shade on adorned couches.
They will have fruits in it and whatever they call for, "Peace," a word from a Merciful Lord.
Allah distinguishes between the believers and the criminals.
The criminals will enter Hell for what they used to earn.

Allah reminds humanity that He created them from a drop of fluid, and then they become adversaries clearly disputing.
Allah is capable of reviving the bones while they are decayed.
Allah has the dominion of all things in His hand, and to Him, you will be returned.
