Surah Yasin was revealed in Makkah with eighty three verses

arranged into five sections. Surah Yasin begins with affirming of

Muhammad’s r prophethood by invoking the Qur’an, the book of

wisdom and assuring him that he is on the right guidance.

Then it proceeds to describe the fate of the inhabitants of a certain

settlement; they repudiated the prophets sent to them and invited

Allah’s I wrath on themselves which wiped them off the face of earth.

This account of the attitude of the people of the settlement makes a

very significant point; the truth which the high, proud and

sophisticated people of the city failed to see was recognised by a

simple, lowly man from the suburbs.

The account of the ruined settlement is given as a stern warning to the

disbelievers of Makkah whose vanity made them reject Muhammed r

as a prophet of Allah I although they knew fully well the faultless,

unimpeachable character of the prophet and the clear, self

explanatory truth of the message.

After narrating the story of the settlement the surah once again calls

upon people to observe and ponder over the vast and varied

phenomena of nature – from the stars and planets to the rich

productivity of earth – and decide who else but the supreme being

who created and subjected the entire universe to an ordered,

integrated system is worthy of worship.

Then the surah turns to the question of resurrection and answers the

disbelievers’ assertion that it is impossible to revive the dead by putting

together the bits and pieces of their dried, crumbly bones with a

simple, satisfactory argument: he who created man from a mere drop of

water has also the power to recreate the dead on the day of resurrection.

The surah discusses the crooked, avaricious mentality of the capitalist

who denies responsibility of helping the poor and the needy on various

pre-texts, and even goes so far as to assert that why he should spend his

wealth on those whom Allah I has not chosen to make prosperous.

The surah also declares that the prophet is not a poet and that what he

preaches is the Message of Allah I whose knowledge has no bounds,

and not imaginary tales, exaggerated descriptions and false assertions

(which are the stock-in-trade of decadent poets).
