Say, [O Muhammad], "I only invoke my Lord and do not associate with Him anyone." 20 Say, "I do not possess any power to harm or benefit you". 21 Say: "Verily, no one could ever protect me from God, nor could I ever find a place to hide from Him 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 Until they see what they are promised, when they will understand who is weaker in aid and poorer in numbers. 24 Say: 'I do not know whether that which you are promised is nigh, or whether my Lord will appoint for it a space; 25 Knower He of the Unseen, and He discloses not His Unseen to anyone, 26 Except to His chosen Noble Messengers – so He appoints guards in front and behind him. (Allah gave the knowledge of the hidden to the Holy Prophet – peace and blessings be upon him.) 27 In order to see that they have conveyed the messages of their Lord – and His knowledge encompasses all whatever they have, and He has kept all things accounted for. 28
