Say, "I call only upon my Lord and do not associate anyone else with Him." 20 Say thou: verily I own not for you power of hurt nor of benefit 21 Say: 'From God shall protect me not anyone, and I shall find, apart from Him, no refuge, 22 (My task is no more than) to deliver Allah's proclamation and His messages. And whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger, surely the Fire of Hell awaits him; therein he will abide in perpetuity.” 23 Until, when they see that which they are promised, then they will know who is weaker in helpers and fewer in numbers. 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 the messenger whom He has chosen. He sends down guardians who walk before them and behind them, 27 "That He may know that they have (truly) brought and delivered the Messages of their Lord: and He surrounds (all the mysteries) that are with them, and takes account of every single thing." 28
