Say: "I do no more than invoke my Lord, and I join not with Him any (false god)." 20 Say: Lo! I control not hurt nor benefit for you. 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 (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 do not know whether what you are promised is imminent, or whether my Lord has set for it a far-off day. 25 "He (alone) knows the Unseen, nor does He make any one acquainted with His Mysteries,- 26 Except whom He has approved of messengers, and indeed, He sends before each messenger and behind him observers 27 So that He may know that they have truly delivered the messages of their Lord, and He encompasses what is with them and He records the number of all things. 28
