Say thou: I simply call upon Allah, and I associate not with Him any-one. 20 Say, "I do not possess any power to harm or benefit you". 21 Say: Surely no one can protect me against Allah, nor can I find besides Him any place of refuge: 22 My only (means of protection) is to convey the message of God. Whoever disobeys God and His Messenger will go to hell, wherein he will live forever". 23 When they see that which they were promised they shall know who is weaker in helpers and fewer in numbers. 24 (Muhammad), say, "I do not know whether that with which you have been threatened is close by or whether my Lord will prolong the time of its coming. 25 He is the Knower of the Unseen and does not disclose His Unseen to anyone, 26 He causes angelic guards to march before and after him. 27 That He may know that they have indeed conveyed the messages of their Lord. He surroundeth all their doings, and He keepeth count of all things. 28
