Say, [O Muhammad], "I only invoke my Lord and do not associate with Him anyone." 20 Say: "It is not in my power to cause you harm, or to bring you to right conduct." 21 Say, "Surely no one can protect me against God, nor can I find besides Him any place of refuge. 22 "Unless I proclaim what I receive from Allah and His Messages: for any that disobey Allah and His Messenger,- for them is Hell: they shall dwell therein for ever." 23 When they see that which they were promised they shall know who is weaker in helpers and fewer in numbers. 24 Say (O Muhammad SAW): "I know not whether (the punishment) which you are promised is near or whether my Lord will appoint for it a distant term. 25 He is the Knower of the Unseen and does not disclose His Unseen to anyone, 26 Other than an apostle He has chosen, when He makes a sentinel walk in front of him and a sentinel behind, 27 that He may know they have delivered the Messages of their Lord; and He encompasses all that is with them, and He has numbered everything in numbers.' 28
