Say, [O Muhammad], "I only invoke my Lord and do not associate with Him anyone." 20 Say: "Neither is your loss within my power nor bringing you to guidance." 21 Say: 'From God shall protect me not anyone, and I shall find, apart from Him, no refuge, 22 “I only convey the commands from Allah, and His messages; and whoever disobeys the commands of Allah and His Noble Messenger – then indeed for him is the fire of hell, in which they will remain for ever and ever.” 23 At length, when they see (with their own eyes) that which they are promised,- then will they know who it is that is weakest in (his) helper and least important in point of numbers. 24 Say: I do not know whether that with which you are threatened be nigh or whether my Lord will appoint for it a term: 25 Knower He of the Unseen, and He discloses not His Unseen to anyone, 26 unless it be to an apostle whom He has been pleased to elect [there for]: and then He sends forth [the forces of heaven] to watch over him in whatever lies open before him and in what is beyond his ken 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
