(Muhammad), say, "I worship only my Lord and do not consider anyone equal to Him". 20 Say, "I do not possess any power to harm or benefit you". 21 Say: “None can protect me from Allah, nor can I find a refuge apart from Him. 22 "Unless I proclaim what I receive from Allah and His Messages: for any that disobey Allah and His Messenger,- for them is Hell: they shall dwell therein for ever." 23 Until they see what they are promised, when they will understand who is weaker in aid and poorer in numbers. 24 Say: "I know not whether the (Punishment) which ye are promised is near, or whether my Lord will appoint for it a distant term. 25 (He is) the Knower of the Unseen, and He revealeth unto none His secret, 26 Except to His chosen Noble Messengers – so He appoints guards in front and behind him. (Allah gave the knowledge of the hidden to the Holy Prophet – peace and blessings be upon him.) 27 so that He may know that they have delivered the messages of their Lord. He encompasses in His knowledge their surroundings and keeps a count of all things.” 28
