Say: 'I call only upon my Lord, and I do not associate with Him anyone. 20 Say: 'Surely I possess no power over you, either for hurt or for rectitude.' 21 Say: "Verily, no one could ever protect me from God, nor could I ever find a place to hide from Him 22 My duty is only to convey that which I receive from Him and His messages." For those who disobey God and His Messenger there is the fire of hell, wherein they will abide forever. 23 Till, when they see that which they are promised, then they will know who it is that is weaker concerning helpers and less important concerning numbers. 24 Say (O dear Prophet Mohammed – peace and blessings be upon him), “I do not know whether what you are promised is close or if my Lord will postpone it for a while.” 25 The All Knowing of all the hidden does not give anyone the control over His secrets. 26 Save unto an apostle chosen. And then He causeth to go before him and behind him a guard. 27 that He may know they have delivered the Messages of their Lord; and He encompasses all that is with them, and He has numbered everything in numbers.' 28
