Say: I only call upon my Lord, and I do not associate any one with Him. 20 Say: "Neither is your loss within my power nor bringing you to guidance." 21 Say: "No one can save me from God, nor can I find a place of refuge apart from Him, 22 if I should fail to convey [to the world whatever illumination comes to me] from God and His messages." Now as for him who rebels against God and His Apostle - verily, the fire of hell awaits him, therein to abide beyond the count of time. 23 (On the Day of Judgment) when the disbelievers witness that with which they have been threatened, they will then know whose helpers are weaker and fewer in number. 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 The All Knowing of all the hidden does not give anyone the control over His secrets. 26 Save unto an apostle chosen. And then He causeth to go before him and behind him a guard. 27 so that He may know that they have delivered the Messages of their Lord and He encompasses all that is with them, and He has counted everything in numbers' 28
