Surah Yasin is ‘makki’ and it has 83 verses. It is written in the commentary of Majma’ul Bayan whoever recites Surah Yasin solely for seeking the pleasure of Allah (S.w.T.), all his sins will be forgiven and he will be given the reward equal to the reward of reciting the whole Qur’an 12 times. If this Surah is recited near a person on his deathbed, then for each letter recited, 12 angels are sent to pray for his forgiveness and they remain even when the soul is being taken by the Angel of Death. The angels also take part in his funeral rites.
