Say: "I call on my Lord alone and I do not associate any one with Him." 20 Say: Lo! I control not hurt nor benefit for you. 21 Say, "Surely no one can protect me against God, nor can I find besides Him any place of refuge. 22 if I should fail to convey [to the world whatever illumination comes to me] from God and His messages." Now as for him who rebels against God and His Apostle - verily, the fire of hell awaits him, therein to abide beyond the count of time. 23 Until, when they see that which they are promised, then they will know who is weaker in helpers and fewer in numbers. 24 Say, "I do not know whether what you are promised is imminent, or whether my Lord has set for it a far-off day. 25 Knower He of the Unseen, and He discloses not His Unseen to anyone, 26 save only to such a Messenger as He is well-pleased with; then He despatches before him and behind him watchers, 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
