In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

Ha-Mim.
0:26
“A revelation from the Beneficent, the Merciful,” (41:2)
0:31
A Book whose verses have been detailed as an Arabic Qur'an for a people who know.
0:40
“Good tidings and a warning. But most of them turn away so that they hear not.” (41:4)
0:48
Ha-Mim.
0:51
This Qur'an is a revelation from the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
0:55
He revealed it to His Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him.
1:00
A Book whose verses have been made clear as an Arabic Qur'an for a people who understand the Arabic language.
1:07
Bringing glad tidings to those who believe in it and act upon its obligatory duties.
1:12
And a warner to those who deny it and do not act upon what it contains.
1:16
Yet most of these people have turned away from listening to it.
1:21
They do not listen to it so as to hear it.
1:23
Out of aversion and arrogance.
1:27
“And they say: Our hearts are protected from that unto which thou (O Muhammad) callest us, and in our ears there is a deafness, and between us and thee there is a veil. Act, then. Lo! we also shall be acting.” (41:5)
1:34
“And they say: Our hearts are protected from that unto which thou (O Muhammad) callest us, and in our ears there is a deafness, and between us and thee there is a veil. Act, then. Lo! we also shall be acting.” (41:5)
1:43
So act, for we are acting.
1:48
And these polytheists said:
1:51
Our hearts are covered against that to which you invite us, O Muhammad, regarding the oneness of Allah.
1:57
And in our ears is a deafness, so we do not hear what you invite us to.
2:02
And between us and you, O Muhammad, there is a veil.
2:05
We shall not meet for its sake, neither we nor you.
2:08
So that we might see one another.
2:11
That veil is their difference in religion.
2:15
So act, O Muhammad, according to your religion, for we are acting according to our religion.
2:20
“Say (unto them O Muhammad): I am only a mortal like you. It is inspired in me that your Allah is One Allah, therefor take the straight path unto Him and seek forgiveness of Him. And woe unto the idolaters,” (41:6)
2:35
So take a straight course toward Him and seek His forgiveness.
2:40
And woe to the polytheists.
2:44
“Who give not the poor-due, and who are disbelievers in the Hereafter.” (41:7)
2:54
Say, O Muhammad, to these people who turn away:
2:57
O people, I am only a human being from the children of Adam.
3:02
Like you in species, form, and appearance.
3:06
It has been revealed to me by Allah that there is no deity for you worthy of worship except one God.
3:13
So take a straight course toward Him in obedience, and turn your faces toward Him with desire and worship.
3:19
And the pus of the people of the Fire, and what flows from them, for those who claim a partner for Allah.
3:25
“Who give not the poor-due, and who are disbelievers in the Hereafter.” (41:7)
3:28
And they are deniers of the Hour and the resurrection of Allah's creation.
3:33
“Lo! as for those who believe and do good works, for them is a reward enduring.” (41:8)
3:42
Indeed, those who believed in Allah and His Messenger.
3:46
And acted upon what Allah and His Messenger commanded them.
3:50
For those who do that, there is a reward without end.
