(Muhammad), say, "I worship only my Lord and do not consider anyone equal to Him". 20 Say: Lo! I control not hurt nor benefit for you. 21 Say thou: verily none can protect me from Allah, nor can I find beside Him any refuge. 22 My duty is only to convey that which I receive from Him and His messages." For those who disobey God and His Messenger there is the fire of hell, wherein they will abide forever. 23 (On the Day of Judgment) when the disbelievers witness that with which they have been threatened, they will then know whose helpers are weaker and fewer in number. 24 Say: “I know not whether what you are promised is near or whether my Lord will prolong its term. 25 He alone has knowledge of what is hidden. He reveals this to none, 26 Except whom He has approved of messengers, and indeed, He sends before each messenger and behind him observers 27 (Messenger) so that He would know that the Messengers have conveyed the message of their Lord. He encompasses all that is with them and He keeps a precise account of all things". 28
