Say: "I invoke my Sustainer alone, for I do not ascribe divinity to anyone beside Him." 20 Say: 'Indeed, I possess no power over you, either for harm or for guidance' 21 Say: 'None shall protect me from Allah, and other than Him, I will find no 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 [Let them, then, wait] until the time when they behold that [doom] of which they were forewarned: for then they will come to understand which [kind of man] is more helpless and counts for less! 24 Say (O Muhammad, unto the disbelievers): I know not whether that which ye are promised is nigh, or if my Lord hath set a distant term for it. 25 He is the Knower of the Unseen and does not disclose His Unseen to 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 truly delivered the messages of their Lord, and He encompasses what is with them and He records the number of all things. 28
