Say thou: I simply call upon Allah, and I associate not with Him any-one. 20 Say: “Surely neither it is in my power to hurt you nor to bring you to the Right Way.” 21 Say: “None can protect me from Allah, nor can I find a refuge apart from Him. 22 (My task is no more than) to deliver Allah's proclamation and His messages. And whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger, surely the Fire of Hell awaits him; therein he will abide in perpetuity.” 23 Till the time when they will see what they are promised – so they will now come to know whose aide is weak, and who is lesser 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 has knowledge of what is hidden. He reveals this to none, 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
