Say (O Muhammad SAW): "I invoke only my Lord (Allah Alone), and I associate none as partners along with Him." 20 Say: 'Surely I possess no power over you, either for hurt or for rectitude.' 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 [The disbelievers continue] until, when they see that which they are promised, then they will know who is weaker in helpers and less in number. 24 Say (O Muhammad, unto the disbelievers): I know not whether that which ye are promised is nigh, or if my Lord hath set a distant term for it. 25 He alone has knowledge of what is hidden. He reveals this to none, 26 Except whom He has approved of messengers, and indeed, He sends before each messenger and behind him observers 27 so as to make manifest that it is indeed [but] their Sustainer's messages that these [apostles] deliver: for it is He who encompasses [with His knowledge] all that they have [to say,] just as He takes count, one by one, of everything [that exists]. 28
