Say (O Muhammad SAW): "I invoke only my Lord (Allah Alone), and I associate none as partners along with Him." 20 Say: 'Surely I possess no power over you, either for hurt or for rectitude.' 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 Until they see what they are promised, when they will understand who is weaker in aid and poorer in numbers. 24 Say: 'I do not know whether that which you are promised is nigh, or whether my Lord will appoint for it a space; 25 He knows the unseen and He does not allow anyone to know His secrets except those of His Messengers whom He chooses. 26 Save unto an apostle chosen. And then He causeth to go before him and behind him a guard. 27 so that He may know that the messengers have delivered the messages of their Lord. He encompasses all that is with them and He keeps count of all things. 28
