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 either harm or good?" 21 Say: Lo! none can protect me from Allah, nor can I find any refuge beside Him 22 excepting a Deliverance from God and His Messages. And whoso rebels against God and His messenger, for him there awaits the Fire of Gehenna; therein they shall dwell forever.' 23 They shall go on denying until they; behold that which they are promised wherefore then they shall know who were weaker in protectors and fewer in number. 24 Say, "I do not know if what you are promised is near or if my Lord will grant for it a [long] period." 25 (He is) the Knower of the Unseen, and He revealeth unto none His secret, 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 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
