Say: 'I call only upon my Lord, and I do not associate with Him anyone. 20 Say thou: verily I own not for you power of hurt nor of benefit 21 Say, "Surely no one can protect me against God, nor can I find besides Him any place of refuge. 22 excepting a Deliverance from God and His Messages. And whoso rebels against God and His messenger, for him there awaits the Fire of Gehenna; therein they shall dwell forever.' 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 (O Muhammad SAW): "I know not whether (the punishment) which you are promised is near or whether my Lord will appoint for it a distant term. 25 He is the Knower of the Unseen, and He does not disclose His Unseen to anyone 26 Except to a Messenger (from mankind) whom He has chosen (He informs him of unseen as much as He likes), and then He makes a band of watching guards (angels) to march before him and behind him. 27 So that He may know that they have truly delivered the messages of their Lord, and He encompasses what is with them and He records the number of all things. 28
