O Humankind: Surah Ya Sin

Contemporary female Sufi teacher Cemalnur Sargut has a unique ability to take us to the heart, and into the heart of the Qur’an. Her book “O Humankind,” translated for the first time into English, is an elaborate commentary on the Chapter Ya-Sin, the heart of the Quran, about the inner meanings of each verse. In it, she draws on the insights of classical Muslim sages, commentaries, Rumi, Ibn ‘Arabi, and others. The Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.s.) summarized Chapter Ya-Sin with the following noble hadith: “Everything has a heart. The heart of the Quran is Chapter Ya-Sin.”
