Say: "I do no more than invoke my Lord, and I join not with Him any (false god)." 20 Say: "Verily, it is not in my power to cause you harm or to endow you with consciousness of what is right." 21 Say: "No one can save me from God, nor can I find a place of refuge apart from Him, 22 My duty is only to convey that which I receive from Him and His messages." For those who disobey God and His Messenger there is the fire of hell, wherein they will abide forever. 23 Till the time when they will see what they are promised – so they will now come to know whose aide is weak, and who is lesser in number. 24 Say: 'I do not know whether that which you are promised is nigh, or whether my Lord will appoint for it a space; 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 Except whom He has approved of messengers, and indeed, He sends before each messenger and behind him observers 27 So that He may know if they have delivered their Lord's messages. He comprehends all that has been given them, and keeps count of everything. 28
