Say thou: I simply call upon Allah, and I associate not with Him any-one. 20 Say: "Verily, it is not in my power to cause you harm or to endow you with consciousness of what is right." 21 Say: 'None shall protect me from Allah, and other than Him, I will find no refuge, 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 When they are confronted by what they have been promised, they will realize who is weaker in helpers and fewer in numbers. 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) knows the Unseen, nor does He make any one acquainted with His Mysteries,- 26 Other than an apostle He has chosen, when He makes a sentinel walk in front of him and a sentinel behind, 27 So that He may know that they have truly delivered the messages of their Lord, and He encompasses what is with them and He records the number of all things. 28
