Say: "I call on my Lord alone and I do not associate any one with Him." 20 Say: Lo! I control not hurt nor benefit for you. 21 Say: "No one can save me from God, nor can I find a place of refuge apart from Him, 22 Mine is but the publishing from Allah and His messages; and whosoever disobeyeth Allah and His apostle, his portion verily is the Hell-Fire as abiders therein for evermore. 23 Till the time when they will see what they are promised – so they will now come to know whose aide is weak, and who is lesser in number. 24 Say: "I do not know if what is promised you is near, or if my Lord prolongs its term. 25 The Knower of the unseen! so He does not reveal His secrets to any, 26 except only to a Messenger that He has chosen, and He sends guardians before him and behind him, 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
