Say: "I do no more than invoke my Lord, and I join not with Him any (false god)." 20 Say thou: verily I own not for you power of hurt nor of benefit 21 Say: 'None shall protect me from Allah, and other than Him, I will find no refuge, 22 My duty is only to convey that which I receive from Him and His messages." For those who disobey God and His Messenger there is the fire of hell, wherein they will abide forever. 23 (On the Day of Judgment) when the disbelievers witness that with which they have been threatened, they will then know whose helpers are weaker 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 has knowledge of what is hidden. He reveals this to none, 26 except only to a Messenger that He has chosen, and He sends guardians before him and behind 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
