(Muhammad), say, "I worship only my Lord and do not consider anyone equal to Him". 20 Say: "Verily, it is not in my power to cause you harm or to endow you with consciousness of what is right." 21 Say, "Surely no one can protect me against God, nor can I find besides Him any place of refuge. 22 except a deliverance from Allah and His Messages. He who disobeys Allah and His Messenger, for him is the Fire of Gehenna, which he will be in for ever. 23 Until they see what they are promised, when they will understand who is weaker in aid and poorer in numbers. 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) the All-Knower of the Gha'ib (unseen), and He reveals to none His Gha'ib (unseen)." 26 Other than an apostle He has chosen, when He makes a sentinel walk in front of him and a sentinel behind, 27 that He may know they have delivered the Messages of their Lord; and He encompasses all that is with them, and He has numbered everything in numbers.' 28
