Say, [O Muhammad], "I only invoke my Lord and do not associate with Him anyone." 20 Say: I do not control for you evil or good. 21 Say, "Indeed, there will never protect me from Allah anyone [if I should disobey], nor will I find in other than Him a refuge. 22 "(Mine is) but conveyance (of the truth) from Allah and His Messages (of Islamic Monotheism), and whosoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger, then verily, for him is the Fire of Hell, he shall dwell therein forever." 23 When they are confronted by what they have been promised, they will realize who is weaker in helpers and fewer in numbers. 24 Say: I do not know whether that with which you are threatened be nigh or whether my Lord will appoint for it a term: 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 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
