Amr Khaled: Surah Yasin pushes away evil and fulfills needs
Live 4 major meanings with Surah Yasin that protect your heart from death
The most beautiful lesson you can learn from Surah Yasin
An action if done ensures your eternity even after your death
Khaberni - Dr. Amr Khaled, Islamic preacher, said that Surah Yasin holds a special place in the hearts of Muslims, and many hadiths mention its virtue, which emphasizes its great status and its uniqueness in fulfilling needs.
Among these, the Prophet peace be upon him said: "Everything has a heart, and the heart of the Quran is Yasin," and Ibn Abbas may Allah be pleased with them said: "Whoever reads Yasin in the morning, his day will be facilitated until the evening, and whoever reads it at the beginning of his night, his night will be facilitated until he wakes up."
Khaled explained in the fifth episode of the program "Guide - Journey with the Quran" how Surah Yasin is linked to facilitating matters, stating that it is not just verses to be read, but a spirit that is breathed into the heart when the world constricts it, and those who seek answers, or feel lost, or face closed doors, will find in it messages from Heaven, indeed a different kind of healing.
Khaled revealed that Surah Yasin is known by many other names, among them: The Encompassing, which brings you goodness from Allah by reading it in this life and the hereafter; The Repeller, which repels evils by reading it; The Fulfiller, through which Allah fulfills needs.
The status of Surah Yasin among the Quran's Surahs
He explained how this Surah has gained such status among other Quranic Surahs, as is the heart relative to other human organs, saying: "The role of the heart is the central engine of human life, it pumps blood to nourish every cell with oxygen and rid it of toxins to keep it alive, and any dysfunction in the heart directly affects the life and death of cells and humans," and as long as the heart beats, you are alive; for the pulse is life, and it is the secret of sustaining life."
And Khaled said that anyone who wants his heart to pulse with the knowledge of Allah, to stay alive with the love of Allah, to elevate his sensation of Allah, and who wants to worship Allah as if he sees Him, should read Surah Yasin, indicating that just as the heart is the life-pumping center for the body, if it stops, life stops, just as the Quran is the life-pumping center for humans "Like the one who reads the Quran and the one who does not, it is like the living and the dead."
And he showed how the Surah places man in a comparison between types of people: those with dead hearts, and others with alive hearts. And of the former type mentioned in the Surah: "To warn a people whose forefathers were not warned, so they are heedless," "The word came into effect upon most of them, so they do not believe * Indeed, We have placed upon their necks iron collars reaching to the chins, so they are heads held aloft," "And We have placed before them a barrier and behind them a barrier and covered them, so they do not see * And it is all the same to them whether you warn them or do not warn them; they will not believe."
And urged those who want to remain alive even after their death, and want their remembrance among people to stay alive until the Day of Judgment, that they should frequently perform acts of goodness, "Indeed, it is We who bring the dead to life and record what they have put forth and their footsteps. And everything, We have encompassed it in a clear Imam."
Believer of the Family of Yasin
And Khaled mentioned that from that category, whose deeds will remain eternal with the eternity of the Quran, "Believer of the Family of Yasin," who was not satisfied with prophets conveying from Allah, but initiated by himself to lead people to goodness, for his heart pulses with the love of faith, thus, the Quran endorsed his deed until the Day of Judgment.
And Khaled clarified that the scenes of Allah’s power in the universe, and belief in Allah "And he presents for Us an example and forgets his own creation. He asks, 'Who will give life to bones while they are disintegrated?'", is what strengthens belief, making the heart pulse with faith.
And he referred to the second way to revive the heart, embodied in the magnificence of Allah in the universe, and the cosmic verses, filled with pulsating life, pointing to examples of what the Surah presents in this frame: "And a sign for them is the dead earth. We have brought it to life and brought forth from it grain, and from it they eat," "And the sun runs [on course] toward its stopping point. That is the determination of the Exalted in Might, the Knowing"; as the sun's course and its end time remind that even celestial bodies have an end, and that the universe has a limited lifespan, "And the moon, We have determined for it phases until it returns [appearing] like the old date stalk," the moon's cycle from full moon to the thin crescent resembles the life cycle in creatures.
And Khaled mentioned the third way to revive the heart, summed up in the very impactful scenes of the Day of Resurrection, "And the Horn will be blown, and at once from the graves to their Lord they will hasten * They will say, 'O woe to us! Who has raised us up from our sleeping place? This is what the Most Merciful had promised, and the messengers spoke truth."
And described Khaled, Surah Yasin as the Surah of Benevolence, because it draws for you scenes to see embodied before you to activate the sense of Allah and His power (as if you see Him), and it resembles in its structure the living heart, beginning from awareness up to meeting Allah.
4 signs that your heart is alive
And Khaled identified four signs to know if your heart is alive and not dead, as follows:
1- Love and zeal for the religion of Allah, and initiative to do good
2- Whenever you see the beauty of the universe, remember the magnificence of the creator
3- The hereafter and meeting Allah fill your heart with love, not fear
4- The decree of Allah in a great heart, try to worship Him and fear Him.
