Say: 'I call only upon my Lord, and I do not associate with Him anyone. 20 Say, "Indeed, I do not possess for you [the power of] harm or right direction." 21 Say thou: verily none can protect me from Allah, nor can I find beside Him any refuge. 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 Till, when they see that which they are promised, then they will know who it is that is weaker concerning helpers and less important concerning numbers. 24 (Muhammad), say, "I do not know whether that with which you have been threatened is close by or whether my Lord will prolong the time of its coming. 25 "He (alone) knows the Unseen, nor does He make any one acquainted with His Mysteries,- 26 Except to him whom He chooses as an apostle; for surely He makes a guard to march before him and after him, 27 (Messenger) so that He would know that the Messengers have conveyed the message of their Lord. He encompasses all that is with them and He keeps a precise account of all things". 28
