Say: 'I call only upon my Lord, and I do not associate with Him anyone. 20 Say: “Surely neither it is in my power to hurt you nor to bring you to the Right Way.” 21 Say thou: verily none can protect me from Allah, nor can I find beside Him any refuge. 22 excepting a Deliverance from God and His Messages. And whoso rebels against God and His messenger, for him there awaits the Fire of Gehenna; therein they shall dwell 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 [doom] of which you were forewarned is near, or whether my Sustainer has set for it a distant term." 25 He [alone] knows that which is beyond the reach of a created being's perception, and to none does He disclose aught of the mysteries of His Own unfathomable knowledge, 26 Save unto every messenger whom He hath chosen, and then He maketh a guard to go before him and a guard behind him 27 (Messenger) so that He would know that the Messengers have conveyed the message of their Lord. He encompasses all that is with them and He keeps a precise account of all things". 28
