(Muhammad), say, "I worship only my Lord and do not consider anyone equal to Him". 20 Say: "Verily, it is not in my power to cause you harm or to endow you with consciousness of what is right." 21 Say: "No one can deliver me from Allah (If I were to disobey Him), nor should I find refuge except in 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 When they see that which they were promised they shall know who is weaker in helpers and fewer in numbers. 24 Say, "I do not know whether what you are promised is imminent, or whether my Lord has set for it a far-off day. 25 He is the knower of the Unknown, and He does not divulge His secret to any one 26 Other than an apostle He has chosen, when He makes a sentinel walk in front of him and a sentinel behind, 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
