Ya-Sin, Surah 36 of the Holy Qu’ran
Art Harun
This must have been one of the most beautiful recitation of the Holy Qu'ran that I have ever heard. Please click here.
For the benefit of the non-Muslims, that was the recitation from Surah 36 of the Holy Qu'ran, namely Surah Ya-Sin. The English translation of the Surah Ya-Sin could be viewed here.
Surah Ya-Sin is recited by Muslims for many purposes. It is recited when someone is sick or when someone needs to gain a sense of confidence (for example, before he or she goes into the exam hall). It is also recited to treat or cure someone who is believed to have been possessed by evil spirit.
However, most importantly, the Surah is recited to someone who is on his or her death bed, in order to "smoothen" his or her journey to meet his or her creator.
