Say: 'I call only upon my Lord, and I do not associate with Him anyone. 20 Say: "It is not in my power to cause you harm, or to bring you to the Right Path." 21 Say: 'None shall protect me from Allah, and other than Him, I will find no refuge, 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 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 that [doom] of which you were forewarned is near, or whether my Sustainer has set for it a distant term." 25 "He (alone) knows the Unseen, nor does He make any one acquainted with His Mysteries,- 26 Except whom He has approved of messengers, and indeed, He sends before each messenger and behind him observers 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
