Say thou: I simply call upon Allah, and I associate not with Him any-one. 20 Say: "Neither is your loss within my power nor bringing you to guidance." 21 Say: Lo! none can protect me from Allah, nor can I find any refuge beside Him 22 My only (means of protection) is to convey the message of God. Whoever disobeys God and His Messenger will go to hell, wherein he will live forever". 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: 'I do not know whether that which you are promised is nigh, or whether my Lord will appoint for it a space; 25 He knows the unseen and He does not allow anyone to know His secrets except those of His Messengers whom He chooses. 26 Other than an apostle He has chosen, when He makes a sentinel walk in front of him and a sentinel behind, 27 So that He may know if they have delivered their Lord's messages. He comprehends all that has been given them, and keeps count of everything. 28
