Say (unto them, O Muhammad): I pray unto Allah only, and ascribe unto Him no partner. 20 Say: "It is not in my power to cause you harm, or to bring you to right conduct." 21 Say: “None can protect me from Allah, nor can I find a 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 When they are confronted by what they have been promised, they will realize who is weaker in helpers and fewer in numbers. 24 Say: 'I do not know whether that which you are promised is near, or whether my Lord will set for it a time. 25 Knower He of the Unseen, and He discloses not His Unseen to anyone, 26 Except to him whom He chooses as an apostle; for surely He makes a guard to march before him and after him, 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
