by Saad Al-Ghamidi



The sixth Imam, Imam Ja’far Sadiq (A.S.) said that after writing it in a mixture of rose water and saffron for seven days and then drinking this surah (it has to be written once for each day) makes a person have such a good memory that he will never forget what he hears and he will win debates and will gain great respect and status. Keeping surah Yaseen in one’s possession as a talisman acts as a protection from the jealousy of people. If given to a woman, her breast-milk will increase. The wearer remains safe from the evil designs of men and Jinn. It also acts as a cure from disease.

If recited near a person who is on the verge of passing away, then an angel brings a drink for the dying person from Jannah and as he drinks of it, he feels greatly eased. Needs are rewarded if asked after the recitation of Surah Yaseen and the reward for its recitation is also compared to performing twenty hajj pilgrimages.
