The letters Ya and Sin; a surah name
In Turkish: Yâ ve Sîn harfleri; sure adı
Yasin takes its name from the Quranic surah Ya-Sin and also denotes that chapter in Turkish. Its opening letters belong to the group known as the disconnected letters. Consequently, “O human” should not be presented as its established literal meaning; such explanations belong to interpretive traditions.
