Say (unto them, O Muhammad): I pray unto Allah only, and ascribe unto Him no partner. 20 Say: "Verily, it is not in my power to cause you harm or to endow you with consciousness of what is right." 21 Say: "No one can save me from God, nor can I find a place of refuge apart from Him, 22 except a deliverance from Allah and His Messages. He who disobeys Allah and His Messenger, for him is the Fire of Gehenna, which he will be in for ever. 23 Until when they see what they are threatened with, then shall they know who is weaker in helpers and fewer in number. 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 knows the unseen and He does not allow anyone to know His secrets except those of His Messengers whom He chooses. 26 Except whom He has approved of messengers, and indeed, He sends before each messenger and behind him observers 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
