Say: 'I call only upon my Lord, and I do not associate with Him anyone. 20 Say, "Indeed, I do not possess for you [the power of] harm or right direction." 21 Say: "Verily, no one could ever protect me from God, nor could I ever find a place to hide from Him 22 "(Mine is) but conveyance (of the truth) from Allah and His Messages (of Islamic Monotheism), and whosoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger, then verily, for him is the Fire of Hell, he shall dwell therein forever." 23 [The disbelievers continue] until, when they see that which they are promised, then they will know who is weaker in helpers and less in number. 24 Say, "I do not know if what you are promised is near or if my Lord will grant for it a [long] period." 25 He is the Knower of the unseen, and He discloseth not His unseen unto anyone. 26 "Except a messenger whom He has chosen: and then He makes a band of watchers march before him and behind him, 27 so that He may know that they have delivered the messages of their Lord. He encompasses in His knowledge their surroundings and keeps a count of all things.” 28
