Say: "I do no more than invoke my Lord, and I join not with Him any (false god)." 20 Say, "Indeed, I do not possess for you [the power of] harm or right direction." 21 Say: Surely no one can protect me against Allah, nor can I find besides Him any place of refuge: 22 (It is) only a delivering (of communications) from Allah and His messages; and whoever disobeys Allah and His Apostle surely he shall have the fire of hell to abide therein for a long time. 23 Until, when they see that which they are promised, then they will know who is weaker in helpers and fewer in numbers. 24 Say thou: I know not whether that which ye are promised is nigh, or whether my Lord hath appointed for it a distant term. 25 He is the Knower of the Unseen, and He does not disclose His Unseen to anyone 26 Except to a Messenger (from mankind) whom He has chosen (He informs him of unseen as much as He likes), and then He makes a band of watching guards (angels) to march before him and behind him. 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
