Say, [O Muhammad], "I only invoke my Lord and do not associate with Him anyone." 20 Say: 'Indeed, I possess no power over you, either for harm or for guidance' 21 Say: Lo! none can protect me from Allah, nor can I find any refuge beside Him 22 Mine is but the publishing from Allah and His messages; and whosoever disobeyeth Allah and His apostle, his portion verily is the Hell-Fire as abiders therein for evermore. 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: “I know not whether what you are promised is near or whether my Lord will prolong its term. 25 Knower He of the Unseen, and He discloses not His Unseen to anyone, 26 Except to His chosen Noble Messengers – so He appoints guards in front and behind him. (Allah gave the knowledge of the hidden to the Holy Prophet – peace and blessings be upon him.) 27 In order to see that they have conveyed the messages of their Lord – and His knowledge encompasses all whatever they have, and He has kept all things accounted for. 28
