Say, [O Muhammad], "I only invoke my Lord and do not associate with Him anyone." 20 Say, "It is not in my power to cause you either harm or good?" 21 Say: "No one can deliver me from Allah (If I were to disobey Him), nor should I find refuge except in 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 Until when they see what they are threatened with, then shall they know who is weaker in helpers and fewer in number. 24 Say: "I do not know if what is promised you is near, or if my Lord prolongs its term. 25 He is the knower of the Unknown, and He does not divulge His secret to any one 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. He encompasses in His knowledge their surroundings and keeps a count of all things.” 28
