(Muhammad), say, "I worship only my Lord and do not consider anyone equal to Him". 20 Say: 'Surely I possess no power over you, either for hurt or for rectitude.' 21 Say: 'None shall protect me from Allah, and other than Him, I will find no refuge, 22 (Mine is) but conveyance (of the Truth) from Allah, and His messages; and whoso disobeyeth Allah and His messenger, lo! his is fire of hell, wherein such dwell 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 do not know whether what you are promised is imminent, or whether my Lord has set for it a far-off day. 25 "He (alone) knows the Unseen, nor does He make any one acquainted with His Mysteries,- 26 except only to a Messenger that He has chosen, and He sends guardians before him and behind him, 27 so as to make manifest that it is indeed [but] their Sustainer's messages that these [apostles] deliver: for it is He who encompasses [with His knowledge] all that they have [to say,] just as He takes count, one by one, of everything [that exists]. 28
