Say (unto them, O Muhammad): I pray unto Allah only, and ascribe unto Him no partner. 20 Say: "It is not in my power to cause you harm, or to bring you to right conduct." 21 Say: “None can protect me from Allah, nor can I find a refuge apart from 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 They shall go on denying until they; behold that which they are promised wherefore then they shall know who were weaker in protectors and fewer in number. 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 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 That He may know that they have preached the message of their Lord. And He comprehendeth whatever is with them, and He keepeth count of everything numbered. 28
