Say: "I call on my Lord alone and I do not associate any one with Him." 20 Say: “Surely neither it is in my power to hurt you nor to bring you to the Right Way.” 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 Mine is but the publishing from Allah and His messages; and whosoever disobeyeth Allah and His apostle, his portion verily is the Hell-Fire as abiders therein for evermore. 23 Until, when they see that which they are promised, then they will know 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 knows the unseen and He does not allow anyone to know His secrets except those of His Messengers whom He chooses. 26 Save unto every messenger whom He hath chosen, and then He maketh a guard to go before him and a guard behind him 27 So that He may know that they have truly delivered the messages of their Lord, and He encompasses what is with them and He records the number of all things. 28
