Say, "I call only upon my Lord and do not associate anyone else with Him." 20 Say: "It is not in my power to cause you harm, or to bring you to the Right Path." 21 Say, "Surely no one can protect me against God, nor can I find besides Him any place of 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 [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 the (Punishment) which ye are promised is near, or whether my Lord will appoint for it a distant 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 to a Messenger whom He chooses (for the bestowal of any part of the knowledge of the Unseen), whereafter He appoints guards who go before him and behind him, 27 So that He may know if they have delivered their Lord's messages. He comprehends all that has been given them, and keeps count of everything. 28
