"Ya Sin is the heart of the Qur'an, no worshipper would recite it for the sake of God and seeking the Final Abode, unless all their sins are forgiven. So recite it over your deceased ones."
Prophet Muhammad

About the Author
Sheikh Mohammad Saeed Bahmanpour is a cleric and a popular speaker. Currently he is the director of interfaith relations at the Islamic Centre of England.
He studied sociology at LSE and Tabatabai University of Tehran in which he has obtained a masters degree. His interest in sociology was not an intrinsic one but to answer a call from within to know more about other religions. That call eventually took charge of his life and directed him to study religion proper in Tehran and Qum seminaries and to assume clerical duties.
In 1999 he was invited to Cambridge University to teach as a visiting lecturer in the Faculty of Oriental Studies. Later, he was appointed as the principle of The Islamic College in London which has both seminary and university degrees on its educational programs. He was in that post for four years. He has taught Islamic studies both in seminary and university courses for a long time before, during and after his post at the Islamic College.
He is also interested in the history of Jesus and Mary from an Islamic perspective and has written a screenplay about the life of Mary based on the Islamic sources, which was made into a successful movie. Another of his works on Christian history was the screenplay about The Seven Sleepers of the Cave (Ashab al-Kahf).
Sheikh Bahmanpour has authored several books including Muslim Identity in the 21st Century, ed. (2001), The Idols Will Fall (2010),The Blessed Tree: The Life and Times of Fatima Daughter of Muhammad (2011) and Towards Eternal Life (2015).
