Say (unto them, O Muhammad): I pray unto Allah only, and ascribe unto Him no partner. 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 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 (O dear Prophet Mohammed – peace and blessings be upon him), “I do not know whether what you are promised is close or if my Lord will postpone it for a while.” 25 The Knower of the unseen! so He does not reveal His secrets to any, 26 Other than an apostle He has chosen, when He makes a sentinel walk in front of him and a sentinel behind, 27 That he may know that they have conveyed the messages of their Lord; and He has encompassed whatever is with them and has enumerated all things in number. 28
