Say, "I call only upon my Lord and do not associate anyone else with Him." 20 Say: Lo! I control not hurt nor benefit for you. 21 Say, "Indeed, there will never protect me from Allah anyone [if I should disobey], nor will I find in other than Him a refuge. 22 "Unless I proclaim what I receive from Allah and His Messages: for any that disobey Allah and His Messenger,- for them is Hell: they shall dwell therein for ever." 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 know not whether the (Punishment) which ye are promised is near, or whether my Lord will appoint for it a distant term. 25 He is the Knower of the unseen, and He discloseth not His unseen unto anyone. 26 Save unto every messenger whom He hath chosen, and then He maketh a guard to go before him and a guard behind him 27 that He may know they have delivered the Messages of their Lord; and He encompasses all that is with them, and He has numbered everything in numbers.' 28
