Say (unto them, O Muhammad): I pray unto Allah only, and ascribe unto Him no partner. 20 Say: “Surely neither it is in my power to hurt you nor to bring you to the Right Way.” 21 Say: 'None shall protect me from Allah, and other than Him, I will find no 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 [The disbelievers continue] until, when they see that which they are promised, then they will know who is weaker in helpers and less in number. 24 Say: "I do not know if what is promised you is near, or if my Lord prolongs its term. 25 [He is] Knower of the unseen, and He does not disclose His [knowledge of the] unseen to anyone 26 Except to him whom He chooses as an apostle; for surely He makes a guard to march before him and after him, 27 so that He may know that the messengers have delivered the messages of their Lord. He encompasses all that is with them and He keeps count of all things. 28
