'he tafseer of urahs (a een and Ar%#ahman is a vital component of our understanding the
mentality of those who are re)ecting *slam for whatever various reasons" haykh !r" #eda
$edeir will keep you interested while sharing various gems and precious details of knowledge
hidden within these chapters whose tafseer comes less from hadith than others" He will make
these stories of old come alive in modern terms, and will impress you with his ability to switch
between formal well pronounced +nglish and a beautiful classic Arabic tongue" uch is the
delight of an instructor who has a strong background in translation and linguistics" A powerful
da,wah and foundational knowledge of *slam will be instilled by the haykh,s tales from his own
modern life and others he has met on his own spiritual )ourney" 'here is an important
component of the foundational framework to having complete knowledge of the -uran found in
this tafseer so * would recommend the course to anyone looking to dig deeper into *slam and
wanting to have a stronger approach and way of thinking about da,wah" Alhamdulillah that we
can learn such depth and breadth of knowledge in only . short days&

Day ): *ntrodu%tion
'he /rophet (/$0H) said 1Alhamdulillah2 every day when awakening"
*n the -uran, sleep is talked about as death and Allah takes the soul then sends it back every
day"
3hen someone accepts *slam, ask them to make dua4a for you because they became better
than you by having all sins forgiven"
Arabs are only 567 of the world4s Muslims"
+8press love of Allah not only with tongue but through actions"
1ubhan Allah2 means that Allah is the most far from imperfection, being perfect in every
possible way"
'here are 9 names of the haitan4s which come to whisper to you during prayer: khan:ab,
khan:ib and khan:ub"
1$ismillah2 means not )ust in the name of but in the name of the one who gave me all things ; a
tongue wisdom, life, eyes to see, ears to hear, a mind to make right decisions, and it also
means to please Him and only for the pleasure of Allah"
*n this world we have control, in the afterlife we have no control"
'here are 9 types of souls while the mutama4inna is the highest one reaching spiritual purity"
Allah will always leave the door open to redeem oneself"
Allah gives us . books, 5 is a closed book we can see, the -uran, and the other is an open
book, the universe which has signs all around us"
*ntrodu%tion to Ya Seen
'he /rophet4s (/$0H) mission is .9 years, 59 years in Makkah and 5< years in Madinah" He
still loved Makkah as his homeland but his love of Allah was greater" Makkan revelation of
tawheed and stories of the past" Madinan revelation had most of the rules and laws to be
applied enumerated"
'here is no patriotism or racism in *slam, only pride in worship of and belief in Allah"
Ar%#ahman describes His nature, being e8ceedingly merciful" Ar%#aheem means that His
actions are merciful" Allah and Ar%#ahman (and #ahman without 1Ar%1) are the . names which
nobody can ever use to describe themselves"
3eak hadith are accepted in 9 conditions" 5) =nly slightly weak" .) =nly when it comes to
virtue of deeds, not for a>idah, either to motivate to do good or to warn of bad" 9) Must mention
that it is a weak hadith"
-uran references: 5?:@6, 96:6., .:5A., .B:.B, 5.:555, C:5@C, 9:599, 99:.9"
/eople who are like animals: take care of the body not the soul" -uran says they have minds
but do not reason, have eyes but do not see the truth, have ears but refuse to hear the truth"
Allah can see what people hide, people deny the e8istence of Allah by sinning in secret" 'a>wa
which is developed during #amadan means to be conscious of Allah and to fear Him out of love
and respect"
Muta>een: spend for Allah, control anger, those who forgive and forget" Allah is Al%Dafu4 ;
forgives and takes away sin" Must forgive and forget as some people forgive but never forget
and later remind"
'here were 5.B<<< /rophets of Allah" A Messenger is someone who was sent, and with a
message" All came with one message: to submit to Eod, He is the creator and we are the
creation" /eople say miracle violates the laws of nature but a miracle can be defined as
something impossible for humans to do" 1top being a :ero, step up and be a hero2: we have
the best religion so use it to lead and be a shepherd not a sheep"
-uran reference: 56:.@"
*f all books were thrown into the sea, only the -uran would come back because it is memori:ed
by many Muslims until the !ay of Fudgment"
#evert is a more appropriate term than convert because we come back to the pure state we
were born in"
Magic was common in the time of Musa (A) so miracles correlate, medicine common in the
time of *sa (A) and in the time of /rophet Muhammad (/$0H) linguistics, poetry and mastery
of language was common, with the best in linguistics being the master of the tribe" Ghallenge of
9 levels referenced in -uran: make up a -uran like it, make up )ust 5< urah like it, and make
up even )ust 5 urah like it" 5 Arab try who later named a liar, and imitate -uran with urah Al%
Hil saying 1Al%fil, 3a ma adraka mal%fil, an elephant has a long trunk and short tail2" Gan take an
oath on the -uran if representing the speech of Allah but not if treating it as ink on paper" 9
letters before an oath are ba4, waw or ta4 as in billahi, wallahi or tallahi" A mushaf -uran is
always kept highest in the house out of respect not to the creation of Allah but to the speech of
Allah" 'he -uran is the oral form, the most authentic book in history, written in fragments but
not compiled" 0mar (#A) told Abu $akr (#A) to compile the -uran but refused as was not done
by the /rophet (/$0H) yet after a battle when C< sahaba died, 0mar (#A) again pleaded to Abu
$akr (#A) then out of necessity it became allowed with . witnesses for each ayah" 5 ayah was
only heard by 5 sahaba, about the battle of 0hud how some men are honest in battle field and
willing to die for Allah" 'he man who heard it the /rophet (/$0H) said never needed .
witnesses because he was so trustworthy so it was included" 'he -uran is Al%-uran, Al%Iitab,
Al%Hur>an, Al%'hikr"
'here are .6 letters in the Arabic alphabet" emitic languages are Arabic, Aramaic, and
Hebrew as the previous /rophets used" 5A7 to .<7 of a message is lost when it is translated"
Ya Seen Tafseer +erses )-), -istori% Argument
Meaning of (a een has A opinions" 5) Jike Alif%Jaam%Meem in Al%$a>arah, . separate letters
of the Arabic alphabet" .) eparate Arabic letters for name of person or something" 9) Kame of
the /rophet (/$0H) as ayat 9 talks to him as you" B) 'he master of humanity as in (a ayeed
Al%$ashar" A) (a insaan meaning L= mankind4" Al%Hil and Ash%harh both also start with Alif%
Jaam%Meem but not read as letters, read as 1alam2 meaning 1didn4t we2" 3e recite as letters as
we heard it directly from the /rophet (/$0H) who heard it directly from angel Fibrael"
Merse .: 3a does not mean Land4 but is for taking an oath"
Merse 6: aglalan is iron collar, al%uth>ani is neck"
!enial ; people of -uraish denied that /rophet (/$0H) is the messenger of Allah" A mursaleen
is someone who is sent and ala means on"
B enemies" 5) elfNnafs" .) !esires" 9) haitanNhushu" B) 'emptationNhalwat"
Hakama means reins for controlling a horse, leading and thus can control one4s own life by
taking the reins"

mubin ; clear book"
'he shortest distance between . points is a straight path"
Ka:ala means to come down"
0ses angels to watch us, . assigned to all souls"

3arning is positive because if you care about someone, you warn them"
Ko one on earth wants you to be better than them e8cept your parents"
Ma ; not or that which is"
Hirst thing Allah created was the pen to write all that happens now to the end of life, A<<<<
years before humans were created" o for Allah, all is done, no past and future, only for us
there is the future" 3e still have a choice even though Allah knows our choice before we make
it" -adar is predestination, Allah knows before it happens but does not interfere in our )ustice,
as we are only accountable for our choices" ome will believe, some will not, His knowledge of
us will not interfere"
Abu Jahab is an e8ample who lived 5< years after urah about him revealed, showing it proved
true" Heads raised up a sign of arrogance, like camels after drink and camels drink a very long
time without breathing" Abu Fahal could not see /rophet (/$0H) and wife of Abu Jahab went to
throw a rock at him yet could not see him even though right in front of him" Ayah .%A are about
the muta>een, those who have ta>wa, ?%C about the kafiroon and 6%5@ about the munafi>een"
$est way to e8plain the tafseer of the -uran is through the -uran itself, then hadith then
companions understanding"
$owing and su)ood is only for Allah" /repare for those things not seen ; )annah and Fahannam,
the angels and Allah" Among people or not we must still have *hsaan ; Ali (#A) says sincerity is
to act the same whether among people or alone" 0sually people described as having wisdom
but here the -uran described as wise" /eople are usually described as generous but the
reward here is described as generous" 3e, nahnu in the -uran is the royal we, like a Iing, and
only used when it relates to His actions"
*t would be unreasonable to make angels as messengers" !a4wah re>uires tawasaw bil%ha>>
wa tawasaw bis%sabr (teaching with truth and teaching with patience)" Analogies and parables
are a good means of driving the point home"

Eratitude means attributing all that is good to Allah"
!on4t leave children to live in their own world, make things logical for them" 0se the -uran as
an incentive and not a punishment
'he hypocrites contradict themselves saying the Most Eracious did not send anything yet
confirming He is the Most Eracious" 'he /rophet (/$0H) liked to answer a >uestion with a
>uestion when it was nonsensical" 0sing birds for omens declared to be nonsense by /rophet
(/$0H)" 'he idea of stoning then beating someone up is nonsensical showing the illogicalness
of the hypocrites" An Arabic phrase is 1what pain would a goat feel if you kill it and then peel off
its skin"2
A new convert to *slam can set all salah only saying ubhan Allah until learning the proper way"
Messengers, /rophets, scholars and dua4a show people the way to the straight path"
Ya Seen Tafseer +erses ,0-,1
Habibun a)%)al ; a man who run to the people had leprosy and came running after he reverted,
made dua4a for a cure and was cured so he tried to appeal to his people" All stepped on top of

crime not to believe in the !ay of Fudgment"
Ya Seen Tafseer +erses 41-54
3hen Allah gives, He is testing you to see if you will share your blessing" !isbelievers deny

nd
best act of worship is to be best to parents as it is mentioned 59 times in the -uran" =ne of
the best acts of worship is to bring happiness to a Muslim though also through feeding the
needy or visiting the sick" Griminals ; polytheists (mushrikeen), disbelievers (kufar), hypocrites
(munafi>een)" C:5C@" . e8cuses will be put forth on the !ay of Fudgment ; that one did not
know or blindly followed parents" 3orship is obedience, not only rituals" (ou are either a part%
time Muslim or a full%time Muslim, either practicing or not" 'he best Muslim is an all%time

worship Him" 'hen go to washroom and was then take wudu saying $ismillah" .:..9, Allah
loves those in a constant state of purification" 'hen when looking in the mirror, praise Allah and
ask to perfect manners like He perfected our forms" *f worship does not change character, then
it is a waste of time, even if do all the rituals" A>idah, ibadah, akhla> (change in character),
dealings with others % how to treat others, if any one of these B is missing then something is
wrong" !o not listen to the whisperings of haitanNhushu and know that he does not come
>uickly but comes slowly and pushes successfully increasing, he is clever and smart" Abu
Fahal, meaning ignorance was Abu Hakim meaning wisdom until *slam was revealed and the
/rophet (/$0H) gave him a name representing him" ?.: wala>ad ; singular worship me" ?A:

Fannah, we will have the same body of Adam which is ?< feet tall and .5 feet wide"
Ya Seen Tafseer +erses 3/-13 "oral Argument
A bridge here as before talking about -uraish, now talking about the /rophet (/$0H) yet is
coherent, if think there is incoherence in the -uran then it is because have not yet learned it, as
it is not poetry" -uran is a book read over and over and over until the !ay of Fudgment and the
most read book in the world" $ayin ; clear" Mubeen ; clarifies for others" 3hatO 'rueNfalse,
rightNwrong, goodNbad" /rophet (/$0H) knowledge deep not poetry, many poets among the
Arabs" hift now as the main source of *slam is Allah" -uran, beginning talks about Allah, then
-uran now tell about the /rophet (/$0H), as a reminder to be recited again and again from the
living heart, not the same as poetry" 6:.B they call that which brings life to the heart" #eal age
is how long you connect with Allah" 'here are 6@ (a ayuhha amanou verses in the -uran" An
*dolator said samat (idol) but once accidently said amad and Allah responded" Arabs used to
carry stones from house as 1Eod2 on a )ourney" 'he 3est even have e8plicit haitan
worshippers" =n day of resurrection they will bring fire and stones because of this" -uraish
knew Muhammad (/$0H) was truthful but called him a liar and Abu Fahal admitted privately
that what /rophet (/$0H) said was 5<<7 true but the leadership of the Iabah is a competition
in the tribe" Merely politics prevented them from accepted what they privately knew to be true"
A camel is the 1sheep of the desert2, lips of camel are designed to be able to pick a thorn, eyes
created to see people as 5< times bigger, most patient animals on earth, some beat camel out
of anger which /rophet (/$0H) said not to do" $eware of patient people when angry as camel
when make it angry can put someone in hospital after loses its very large amount of patience"
C5: ri:a from Allah given to us" C.: camel creation is a miracle" C9: gratitude is not forceful but
gentle" -uran reference: ??:?"

Ya Seen Tafseer +erses 11-2.
Man threw rotten bones at /rophet (/$0H) so he said yes, He can bring a body back to life and
yours will be in the hellfire" #ecreation easier than creation, and certainly He can do it" Allah
has hand, not metaphorically, Allah says it, and His hand is not like our hand" 3e don4t ask or
interpret it or liken it to ours, it befits him" He says to *blis, why not prostrate to what * create
with my . hands" *t is similar to verses regarding being established on throne being >uestioned
as metaphor" Mulk ; kingdom, things can see in kingdom of Allah" Malakut ; things cannot see
in the kingdom of Allah" Are you ready to returnO +8ample scientifically, Kewton was hit on the
head and discovered what was malakut and is now mulk" +lectricityNpower also has always
been there but was not discovered" *n Arabic, more letters usually indicates a more comple8
meaning" *man takes patience, suffering and is not cheap and easy" Jike Abraham had to
catch B birds, cut them into B pieces and mi8 the 5? pieces then put them each at the top of a
different mountain which re>uired great effort then the birds came back to life and returned as a
sign" CC: sperm and egg" 6<: green trees which are full of water, give us wood which can make
a fire" 65: constant state of creation all the time, not )ust one time creation" 69: can bring back

/rophet (/$0H) went 9 months with no cooking )ust living with dates and water" All live in
lu8ury, the prophets were poor e8cept kings of !avid and olomon who worked and did not take
from their kingdoms" Appreciate what you have or you are living in denial" Appreciate what you
have before you appreciate what you had such as appreciating health before sick or parents
before they die" !o you serve what you haveO Ko, so be grateful and share what you have"
'he essence of the seminar is to be grateful" Jife on earth is based on )ustice and what that
does not happen then the world is messed up like it is now" .<7 of the world controls 6<7 of
the world4s resources which is not )ustice" Many hats are worn in life ; such as father, son,
member of community, profession" ome only focus on work and are not balanced, like a father
ignoring his son then wondering why when he grows up he does not talk to him, but it is
because he threw away the hat" /eople teach kids professional lying, like telling a child to say
on the phone that they are not there" Ghildren copy what their parents are doing" Eive all the
roles their due right" Gheck your neighbor, do your )ob to the best of your ability, etc" Allah
listens to your heart not the tongue" un and moon are balanced, trees and stars prostrate, do
youO ea is creation and soldier of Allah and the earth will bear witness against us" Gan
make su)ood after hearing surah :il:alaha after ayah about the earth testifying" /roblems in
communities and world are from not following )ustice" Kever )udge anyone or say Allah will not
forgive them" 0mmah ; someone good in characteristics" #abb ; one who creates out of
nothing and provides for His creation whether they believe in Him or not" Eives dunia for those
who love Him and not love Him yet only guide to *slam those He loves" *la is a Eod we worship"

=nly surah starting with a name of Allah" -uraish used to especially deny the name Ar%#ahman
and at Hudabbiyah refused to allow more than $ismillah in the treaty" Ali (#A) refuse to cross it
out and the /rophet (/$0H) erased it himself" Ar%#ahman is the most beautiful name, even
without LAl%L it cannot be attributed to a person" Allah has the most beautiful names, and one
should call upon them when making dua4a" *magine hearing Ar%#ahman recite Ar%#ahman in
)annah" *t means the e8ceedingly merciful, the immediately merciful" +8ample of how many, list
5< mercies upon you right now: being present, being Muslim, having eyes, having parents,
having children, having a )ob, having money, having security in country, etc" Abdullah ibn
Masud first to go to Iaaba to recite -uran" 'he /rophet (/$0H) said his small (emeni legs will
be heavier in akhirah than Mount 0hud" /rophet (/$0H) said when recite the ayah repeated 95
times the )inn showed more gratitude and interacted more with Allah" An:ala not meaning
revealed but teaching as a transitive verb must have a learner" Jearn the >ara (recitation) and
alam (knowledge) of the -uran as the companions used to recite 5< ayah at a time then stop
