Say: "I do no more than invoke my Lord, and I join not with Him any (false god)." 20 Say: I do not control for you evil or good. 21 Say thou: verily none can protect me from Allah, nor can I find beside Him any refuge. 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 they see what they are promised, when they will understand who is weaker in aid and poorer in numbers. 24 Say: “I know not whether what you are promised is near or whether my Lord will prolong its term. 25 He is the Knower of the Unseen and does not disclose His Unseen to anyone, 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
