Say: "I do no more than invoke my Lord, and I join not with Him any (false god)." 20 Say: Lo! I control not hurt nor benefit for you. 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 At length, when they see (with their own eyes) that which they are promised,- then will they know who it is that is weakest in (his) helper and least important in point of numbers. 24 Say, "I do not know if what you are promised is near or if my Lord will grant for it a [long] period." 25 He alone has knowledge of what is hidden. He reveals this to none, 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 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
