Say: "I invoke my Sustainer alone, for I do not ascribe divinity to anyone beside Him." 20 Say, "Indeed, I do not possess for you [the power of] harm or right direction." 21 Say, "Indeed, there will never protect me from Allah anyone [if I should disobey], nor will I find in other than Him a 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 Till, when they see that which they are promised, then they will know who it is that is weaker concerning helpers and less important concerning numbers. 24 Say: 'I do not know whether that which you are promised is near, or whether my Lord will set for it a time. 25 He alone has knowledge of what is hidden. He reveals this to none, 26 "Except a messenger whom He has chosen: and then He makes a band of watchers march before him and behind 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
