Say: "I call on my Lord alone and I do not associate any one with Him." 20 Say thou: verily I own not for you power of hurt nor of benefit 21 Say, "Indeed, there will never protect me from Allah anyone [if I should disobey], nor will I find in other than Him a refuge. 22 But [I have for you] only notification from Allah, and His messages." And whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger - then indeed, for him is the fire of Hell; they will abide therein forever. 23 When they are confronted by what they have been promised, they will realize who is weaker in helpers and fewer in 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 is the Knower of the Unseen and does not disclose His Unseen to anyone, 26 Except to him whom He chooses as an apostle; for surely He makes a guard to march before him and after him, 27 In order to see that they have conveyed the messages of their Lord – and His knowledge encompasses all whatever they have, and He has kept all things accounted for. 28
