Whoever disobeys God and His Messenger will go to hell, wherein he will live 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 with which you are threatened be nigh or whether my Lord will appoint for it a term: 25 He is the knower of the Unknown, and He does not divulge His secret to any one 26 He causes angelic guards to march before and after 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
