Say, "I call only upon my Lord and do not associate anyone else with Him." 20 Say: "Neither is your loss within my power nor bringing you to guidance." 21 Say: Surely no one can protect me against Allah, nor can I find besides Him any place of refuge: 22 (My task is no more than) to deliver Allah's proclamation and His messages. And whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger, surely the Fire of Hell awaits him; therein he will abide in perpetuity.” 23 When they see that which they were promised they shall know who is weaker in helpers and fewer in numbers. 24 Say: 'I do not know whether that which you are promised is nigh, or whether my Lord will appoint for it a space; 25 The All Knowing of all the hidden does not give anyone the control over His secrets. 26 Except to him whom He chooses as an apostle; for surely He makes a guard to march before him and after him, 27 So that He may know that they have truly delivered the messages of their Lord, and He encompasses what is with them and He records the number of all things. 28
