Say: I only call upon my Lord, and I do not associate any one with Him. 20 Say, "I do not possess any power to harm or benefit you". 21 Say, "No one can protect me from God, nor can I find any place of refuge but with him. 22 except a deliverance from Allah and His Messages. He who disobeys Allah and His Messenger, for him is the Fire of Gehenna, which he will be in for ever. 23 Until they see what they are promised, when they will understand who is weaker in aid and poorer in numbers. 24 Say (O dear Prophet Mohammed – peace and blessings be upon him), “I do not know whether what you are promised is close or if my Lord will postpone it for a while.” 25 He is the knower of the Unknown, and He does not divulge His secret to any one 26 except only to a Messenger that He has chosen, and He sends guardians before him and behind him, 27 so that He may know that they have delivered the Messages of their Lord and He encompasses all that is with them, and He has counted everything in numbers' 28
