Say, "I call only upon my Lord and do not associate anyone else with Him." 20 Say: 'Indeed, I possess no power over you, either for harm or for guidance' 21 Say, "No one can protect me from God, nor can I find any place of refuge but with him. 22 My only (means of protection) is to convey the message of God. Whoever disobeys God and His Messenger will go to hell, wherein he will live forever". 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 (Muhammad), say, "I do not know whether that with which you have been threatened is close by or whether my Lord will prolong the time of its coming. 25 He alone has knowledge of what is hidden. He reveals this to none, 26 Save unto every messenger whom He hath chosen, and then He maketh a guard to go before him and a guard behind him 27 That he may know that they have conveyed the messages of their Lord; and He has encompassed whatever is with them and has enumerated all things in number. 28
