(Muhammad), say, "I worship only my Lord and do not consider anyone equal to Him". 20 Say: "It is not in my power to cause you harm, or to bring you to right conduct." 21 Say: Lo! none can protect me from Allah, nor can I find any refuge beside Him 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 (They shall not change their ways) until they see that against which they had been warned, and then they will know whose helpers are weaker and whose supporters are fewer in number. 24 Say: “I know not whether what you are promised is near or whether my Lord will prolong its term. 25 He is the Knower of the unseen, and He discloseth not His unseen unto anyone. 26 except only to a Messenger that He has chosen, and He sends guardians before him and 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
