Say: 'I call only upon my Lord, and I do not associate with Him anyone. 20 Say: Lo! I control not hurt nor benefit for you. 21 Say: 'None shall protect me from Allah, and other than Him, I will find no 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 (They shall not change their ways) until they see that against which they had been warned, and then they will know whose helpers are weaker and whose supporters are fewer in number. 24 (Muhammad), say, "I do not know whether that with which you have been threatened is close by or whether my Lord will prolong the time of its coming. 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 that He may know they have delivered the Messages of their Lord; and He encompasses all that is with them, and He has numbered everything in numbers.' 28
