Say (unto them, O Muhammad): I pray unto Allah only, and ascribe unto Him no partner. 20 Say, "Indeed, I do not possess for you [the power of] harm or right direction." 21 Say: Lo! none can protect me from Allah, nor can I find any refuge beside Him 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 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 (O Muhammad, unto the disbelievers): I know not whether that which ye are promised is nigh, or if my Lord hath set a distant term for it. 25 "He (alone) knows the Unseen, nor does He make any one acquainted with His Mysteries,- 26 except only to a Messenger that He has chosen, and He sends guardians before him and behind him, 27 That He may know that they have indeed conveyed the messages of their Lord. He surroundeth all their doings, and He keepeth count of all things. 28
