Say, "I call only upon my Lord and do not associate anyone else with Him." 20 Say, "It is not in my power to cause you either harm or good?" 21 Say: 'From God shall protect me not anyone, and I shall find, apart from Him, no refuge, 22 "(Mine is) but conveyance (of the truth) from Allah and His Messages (of Islamic Monotheism), and whosoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger, then verily, for him is the Fire of Hell, he shall dwell therein forever." 23 [Let them, then, wait] until the time when they behold that [doom] of which they were forewarned: for then they will come to understand which [kind of man] is more helpless and counts for less! 24 Say: I do not know whether that with which you are threatened be nigh or whether my Lord will appoint for it a term: 25 [He is] Knower of the unseen, and He does not disclose His [knowledge of the] unseen to anyone 26 except only to a Messenger that He has chosen, and He sends guardians before him and behind him, 27 so that He may know that they have delivered the messages of their Lord. He encompasses in His knowledge their surroundings and keeps a count of all things.” 28
