Say thou: I simply call upon Allah, and I associate not with Him any-one. 20 Say, "Indeed, I do not possess for you [the power of] harm or right direction." 21 Say, "Surely no one can protect me against God, nor can I find besides Him any place of refuge. 22 My only (means of protection) is to convey the message of God. Whoever disobeys God and His Messenger will go to hell, wherein he will live forever". 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 whether that which you are promised is nigh, or whether my Lord will appoint for it a space; 25 He alone has knowledge of what is hidden. He reveals this to none, 26 Except to him whom He chooses as an apostle; for surely He makes a guard to march before him and after him, 27 That He may know that they have preached the message of their Lord. And He comprehendeth whatever is with them, and He keepeth count of everything numbered. 28
