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 harm, or to bring you to right conduct." 21 Say, "Indeed, there will never protect me from Allah anyone [if I should disobey], nor will I find in other than Him a refuge. 22 Unless I convey from God and deliver His message." For those who disobey God and His Apostle is the fire of Hell, where they will abide for ever; 23 Till (the day) when they shall behold that which they are promised (they may doubt); but then they will know (for certain) who is weaker in allies and less in multitude. 24 Say (O Muhammad, unto the disbelievers): I know not whether that which ye are promised is nigh, or if my Lord hath set a distant term for it. 25 Knower He of the Unseen, and He discloses not His Unseen to anyone, 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 so that He may know that they have delivered the Messages of their Lord and He encompasses all that is with them, and He has counted everything in numbers' 28
