Surat Ya-Sin is called “the Heart of the Qur'an” by the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). It contains a very important message about the resurrection and life after death. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) recommended that it be read in front of a dying person. Reading it at times of distress is also helpful, as mentioned in several Prophetic hadiths.
It is reported in one hadith that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "I wish if every person in my Ummah keeps this surah (that is, Surat Ya-Sin) in his heart.”
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is reported to have said: “Ya-Sin is the heart of the Qur'an. The one who recites it solely for Allah's Sake, his sins will be forgiven. Read it on behalf of your dead” (At-Tirmidhi).
In his tafseer, Imam Al-Qurtubi states that Ibn `Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) quoted the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) as saying, “Reciting Ya-Sin at the beginning of the day makes the rest of the day easy for the person till night approaches. Also, reciting it with the approach of the night makes the rest of the night easy till the next day.”
