Say: I only call upon my Lord, and I do not associate any one with Him. 20 Say: Lo! I control not hurt nor benefit for you. 21 Say: Surely no one can protect me against Allah, nor can I find besides Him any place of refuge: 22 "Unless I proclaim what I receive from Allah and His Messages: for any that disobey Allah and His Messenger,- for them is Hell: they shall dwell therein for ever." 23 Till (the day) when they shall behold that which they are promised (they may doubt); but then they will know (for certain) who is weaker in allies and less in multitude. 24 Say thou: I know not whether that which ye are promised is nigh, or whether my Lord hath appointed for it a distant term. 25 He is the Knower of the unseen, and He discloseth not His unseen unto anyone. 26 save only to such a Messenger as He is well-pleased with; then He despatches before him and behind him watchers, 27 [He (Allah) protects them (the Messengers)], till He sees that they (the Messengers) have conveyed the Messages of their Lord (Allah). And He (Allah) surrounds all that which is with them, and He (Allah) keeps count of all things (i.e. He knows the exact number of everything). 28
