Yassin is undoubtedly one of the great surahs of the Qur’an; its reading is considered to be highly beneficial and spiritually rewarding. It is important to memorize the entire surah; it is also important to read it as often as one can, and more especially, while attending those who are nearing death.
Being very familiar to the felda settlement scene, Yassin recitation ceremony is often conducted in the community....Be it once a week, monthly basis....The residents take turn to organize the ceremony at their home... I'm sure many of you have done this countless times.... Just a sharing how the ceremony was done at my in-law's place...
It was held last Friday morning..... This event was meant for women from the same block (felda settlement is divided into blocks, a block may varies on numbers of houses, in my in law's cases, the block contains around 24 houses.) Usually, food is served after the Yassin recitation but it is not compulsory..It really depends on the house owner.... my SIL made mee rebus that day....

Usually, people do not come empty-handed...They bring along kuih, puddings and even packets of sugar to give to the house owner..... That's what makes the abundance of food... They can even tapau the extra food to bring home..
