Say: 'I supplicate only to my Lord and I do not associate any with Him' 20 Say: "It is not in my power to cause you harm, or to bring you to the Right Path." 21 Say: 'None shall protect me from Allah, and other than Him, I will find no refuge, 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 Until when they see what they are threatened with, then shall they know who is weaker in helpers and fewer in number. 24 Say thou: I know not whether that which ye are promised is nigh, or whether my Lord hath appointed for it a distant term. 25 He is the knower of the Unknown, and He does not divulge His secret to any one 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 In order to see that they have conveyed the messages of their Lord – and His knowledge encompasses all whatever they have, and He has kept all things accounted for. 28
