Say: "I do no more than invoke my Lord, and I join not with Him any (false god)." 20 Say: 'Indeed, I possess no power over you, either for harm or for guidance' 21 Say thou: verily none can protect me from Allah, nor can I find beside Him any refuge. 22 (It is) only a delivering (of communications) from Allah and His messages; and whoever disobeys Allah and His Apostle surely he shall have the fire of hell to abide therein for a long time. 23 Till, when they see that which they are promised, then they will know who it is that is weaker concerning helpers and less important concerning 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 Knower He of the Unseen, and He discloses not His Unseen to anyone, 26 He causes angelic guards to march before and after 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
