Say: 'I supplicate only to my Lord and I do not associate any with Him' 20 Say, "I do not possess any power to harm or benefit you". 21 Say: 'None shall protect me from Allah, and other than Him, I will find no 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 if what is promised you is near, or if my Lord prolongs its term. 25 He knows the unseen and He does not allow anyone to know His secrets except those of His Messengers whom He chooses. 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 delivered the Messages of their Lord and He encompasses all that is with them, and He has counted everything in numbers' 28
