Say: I only call upon my Lord, 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: Lo! none can protect me from Allah, nor can I find any refuge beside Him 22 except a deliverance from Allah and His Messages. He who disobeys Allah and His Messenger, for him is the Fire of Gehenna, which he will be in for ever. 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 He [alone] knows that which is beyond the reach of a created being's perception, and to none does He disclose aught of the mysteries of His Own unfathomable knowledge, 26 unless it be to an apostle whom He has been pleased to elect [there for]: and then He sends forth [the forces of heaven] to watch over him in whatever lies open before him and in what is beyond his ken 27 so that He may know that the messengers have delivered the messages of their Lord. He encompasses all that is with them and He keeps count of all things. 28
