This customized book will be hand out to the guests of the ceremony on every 40th, 100th day of the deceased date. The book contains not only Surah Yaseen, but there are also tahlil recites, prayers and a complete worship arrangement guides with the picture of the deceased on the cover, the full name of the deceased and the list of their close family.
