Surah Ya-Seen ( _ar. سورة يس) is the 36th 'chapter' of Qur'an with 83 ayat, and was revealed in the Islamic holy city of Mecca. It is given the honorary title of "the Heart of the Qur'an". Fact|date=August 2007

According to Islamic tradition this Surah has many benefits, and it is read by Muslims at the Janazah (funeral) prayer. Muhammad's sayings in the Hadith, as well as the works of scholars like Imam Tirmizi who studied under Imam Bukhari in the 9th century, have asserted that reciting Surah Ya-Seen has many benefits.

The Surah says that God sent two messengers, and then a third, to the ancient city of Antioch, and they were repeatedly spurred. It goes on to describe non-Muslims who have repeatedly refused injunction to aid the poor and do good in this world: "And when it is said to them: "Spend of that with which Allah has provided you," those who disbelieve say to those who believe: "Shall we feed those whom, if Allah willed, He (Himself) would have fed? You are only in a plain error." (verse 47)

This Surah also countered the claims of the [Quraysh] tribe of Mecca that the Qur'an was mere poetry; that God did not teach Muhammad only a "plain reminder" in the Qur'an (verse 69).

The Surah also mentions the bountiful life in Paradise for believers: "They and their wives will be in pleasant shade, reclining on thrones", and goes on to describe the punishment for criminals and other wrong-doers. (verse 56)

The Surah concludes by describing some of God's wonders, like the creation of earth and heaven and how he can do it again, and how man was created by him and shall return to him.
