Say, [O Muhammad], "I only invoke my Lord and do not associate with Him anyone." 20 Say, "Indeed, I do not possess for you [the power of] harm or right direction." 21 Say: 'None shall protect me from Allah, and other than Him, I will find no 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 They shall go on denying until they; behold that which they are promised wherefore then they shall know who were weaker in protectors and fewer in number. 24 Say: I do not know whether that with which you are threatened be nigh or whether my Lord will appoint for it a term: 25 He is the Knower of the Unseen, and He does not disclose His Unseen to anyone 26 Except to him whom He chooses as an apostle; for surely He makes a guard to march before him 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
