Say, "I call only upon my Lord and do not associate anyone else with Him." 20 Say: Lo! I control not hurt nor benefit for you. 21 Say: Lo! none can protect me from Allah, nor can I find any refuge beside Him 22 (It is) only a delivering (of communications) from Allah and His messages; and whoever disobeys Allah and His Apostle surely he shall have the fire of hell to abide therein for a long time. 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 Say thou: I know not whether that which ye are promised is nigh, or whether my Lord hath appointed for it a distant term. 25 He is the Knower of the Unseen and does not disclose His Unseen to anyone, 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 [He (Allah) protects them (the Messengers)], till He sees that they (the Messengers) have conveyed the Messages of their Lord (Allah). And He (Allah) surrounds all that which is with them, and He (Allah) keeps count of all things (i.e. He knows the exact number of everything). 28
