Say: "I invoke my Sustainer alone, for I do not ascribe divinity to anyone beside Him." 20 Say: Lo! I control not hurt nor benefit for you. 21 Say: "No one can save me from God, nor can I find a place of refuge apart from Him, 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 Until they see what they are promised, when they will understand who is weaker in aid and poorer in numbers. 24 Say: "I do not know whether that [doom] of which you were forewarned is near, or whether my Sustainer has set for it a distant term." 25 He is the Knower of the Unseen, and He does not disclose His Unseen to 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 so that He may know that they have delivered the messages of their Lord. He encompasses in His knowledge their surroundings and keeps a count of all things.” 28
