Say (unto them, O Muhammad): I pray unto Allah only, and ascribe unto Him no partner. 20 Say, "Indeed, I do not possess for you [the power of] harm or right direction." 21 Say: "No one can deliver me from Allah (If I were to disobey Him), nor should I find refuge except in Him, 22 (Mine is) but conveyance (of the Truth) from Allah, and His messages; and whoso disobeyeth Allah and His messenger, lo! his is fire of hell, wherein such dwell for ever. 23 Until when they see what they are threatened with, then shall they know who is weaker in helpers and fewer in number. 24 Say: “I know not whether what you are promised is near or whether my Lord will prolong its term. 25 The Knower of the unseen! so He does not reveal His secrets to any, 26 Except whom He has approved of messengers, and indeed, He sends before each messenger and behind him observers 27 That He may know that they have indeed conveyed the messages of their Lord. He surroundeth all their doings, and He keepeth count of all things. 28
