Sura Yasin
OP - March 14, 2011, 05:42 AM
This morning on my way to work my brother-in-law decided to listen to Suratul Yasin - it is said that it is the most powerful surah in the Quran. We have lots of Surah Yasins lying around at home as it is encouraged to memorise it and read it after each salaah.
So it got me thinking, what makes this surah so powerful, I read the Yusuf Ali translation this morning and to me it is all things that does not make sense.
It seems as it is aimed at the disbelievers but I don't know if this is a narration in the 1st person, 2nd person or even 3rd person.
43. If it were Our Will, We could drown them: then would there be no helper (to hear their cry), nor could they be delivered,
44. Except by way of Mercy from Us, and by way of (world) convenience (to serve them) for a time.
Who is this "Our Will" - Thought Allah had no partners,
Same with "by the way of mercy from Us" - assigning partners to the ever so high almighty being.
Well that is just something I thought of while driving to work - what makes Surah Yasin so powerful that it gets recited at every function and after every prayer.?
