Say thou: I simply call upon Allah, and I associate not with Him any-one. 20 Say: "It is not in my power to cause you harm, or to bring you to the Right Path." 21 Say thou: verily none can protect me from Allah, nor can I find beside Him any refuge. 22 Unless I convey from God and deliver His message." For those who disobey God and His Apostle is the fire of Hell, where they will abide for ever; 23 [Let them, then, wait] until the time when they behold that [doom] of which they were forewarned: for then they will come to understand which [kind of man] is more helpless and counts for less! 24 Say: 'I do not know whether that which you are promised is near, or whether my Lord will set for it a time. 25 The Knower of the unseen! so He does not reveal His secrets to any, 26 other than to a Messenger whom He chooses (for the bestowal of any part of the knowledge of the Unseen), whereafter He appoints guards who go before him and behind him, 27 [He (Allah) protects them (the Messengers)], till He sees that they (the Messengers) have conveyed the Messages of their Lord (Allah). And He (Allah) surrounds all that which is with them, and He (Allah) keeps count of all things (i.e. He knows the exact number of everything). 28
