Say: I only call upon my Lord, and I do not associate any one with Him. 20 Say: “Surely neither it is in my power to hurt you nor to bring you to the Right Way.” 21 Say: Lo! none can protect me from Allah, nor can I find any refuge beside Him 22 Mine is but the publishing from Allah and His messages; and whosoever disobeyeth Allah and His apostle, his portion verily is the Hell-Fire as abiders therein for evermore. 23 [The disbelievers continue] until, when they see that which they are promised, then they will know who is weaker in helpers and less in number. 24 Say: "I do not know whether that [doom] of which you were forewarned is near, or whether my Sustainer has set for it a distant term." 25 He is the Knower of the unseen, and He discloseth not His unseen unto anyone. 26 Save unto every messenger whom He hath chosen, and then He maketh a guard to go before him and a guard behind him 27 so that He may know that they have delivered the messages of their Lord. He encompasses in His knowledge their surroundings and keeps a count of all things.” 28
