About this episode

Yā Sīn (also Yaseen; Arabic: يٰسٓ, yāsīn; the letters 'Yāʼ' and 'Sīn') is the 36th chapter of the Quran (sūrah). It has 83 verses. It is regarded an earlier "Meccan surah" Some scholars maintain that verse 12 is from the Medinan period.[3] While the surah begins in Juz' 22, most of it is in Juz' 23

The surah focuses on establishing the Qur'an as a divine source, and it warns of the fate of those who mock God's revelations and are stubborn. The surah tells of the punishments that plagued past generations of nonbelievers as a warning to present and future generations Additionally, the surah reiterates God's sovereignty as exemplified by His creations through signs from nature

The surah ends with arguments in favor of the existence of Resurrection and God's sovereign power
