Summary of Quran Chapter 36, Surah Ya-Sin 

In this verse, Allah Almighty has provided the signs of His perfect power and profound wisdom, which are evident not only throughout the entire universe but also within the essence of human beings themselves. One side of these manifestations of Allah's power is clear: the Entity that possesses such immense power and wisdom requires neither any partner nor any helper to sustain His divine order. 

Thus, He alone is worthy of worship. On the other hand, these signs of power indicate that the Entity who has created this universe and its astonishingly complex system has no difficulty in granting human beings another life after their death. Therefore, these signs of power establish the belief in the Oneness of God and the concept of the Hereafter unequivocally. The Noble and Last Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) had come to invite people to reflect upon these signs and to correct their beliefs and actions accordingly. 

Despite this, if some people are not accepting this invitation, they are actually causing harm to themselves, because of which they are becoming deserving of Allah Almighty's punishment. In this context, verses 13 to 29 mention the account of a community that did not accept the invitation of truth. Instead, they engaged in oppression and cruelty against the bearers of truth. 

The outcome for those propagating the truth was indeed favorable, but those who rejected the truth fell into the grip of Allah Almighty's punishment. Since this chapter eloquently and comprehensively presents the fundamental beliefs of Islam, it is reported from the Noble and Last Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) that he referred to this chapter as "the heart of the Quran."
