Say thou: I simply call upon Allah, and I associate not with Him any-one. 20 Say: 'Indeed, I possess no power over you, either for harm or for guidance' 21 Say: Surely no one can protect me against Allah, nor can I find besides Him any place of refuge: 22 My duty is only to convey that which I receive from Him and His messages." For those who disobey God and His Messenger there is the fire of hell, wherein they will abide forever. 23 When they are confronted by what they have been promised, they will realize who is weaker in helpers and fewer in numbers. 24 Say: "I do not know if what is promised you is near, or if my Lord prolongs its term. 25 He is the Knower of the unseen, and He discloseth not His unseen unto 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 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
