Say, [O Muhammad], "I only invoke my Lord and do not associate with Him anyone." 20 Say, "Indeed, I do not possess for you [the power of] harm or right direction." 21 Say: 'None shall protect me from Allah, and other than Him, I will find no refuge, 22 But [I have for you] only notification from Allah, and His messages." And whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger - then indeed, for him is the fire of Hell; they will abide therein forever. 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: "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 Unknown, and He does not divulge His secret to any one 26 unless it be to an apostle whom He has been pleased to elect [there for]: and then He sends forth [the forces of heaven] to watch over him in whatever lies open before him and in what is beyond his ken 27 so that He may know that they have delivered the Messages of their Lord and He encompasses all that is with them, and He has counted everything in numbers' 28
