Say thou: I simply call upon Allah, and I associate not with Him any-one. 20 Say thou: verily I own not for you power of hurt nor of benefit 21 Say thou: verily none can protect me from Allah, nor can I find beside Him any refuge. 22 except a deliverance from Allah and His Messages. He who disobeys Allah and His Messenger, for him is the Fire of Gehenna, which he will be in 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: "I do not know whether that [doom] of which you were forewarned is near, or whether my Sustainer has set for it a distant term." 25 He alone has knowledge of what is hidden. He reveals this to none, 26 Other than an apostle He has chosen, when He makes a sentinel walk in front of him and a sentinel behind, 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
