Say (unto them, O Muhammad): I pray unto Allah only, and ascribe unto Him no partner. 20 Say: "It is not in my power to cause you harm, or to bring you to right conduct." 21 Say, "Surely no one can protect me against God, nor can I find besides Him any place of refuge. 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 (On the Day of Judgment) when the disbelievers witness that with which they have been threatened, they will then know whose helpers are weaker and fewer in number. 24 Say: I do not know whether that with which you are threatened be nigh or whether my Lord will appoint for it a term: 25 [He is] Knower of the unseen, and He does not disclose His [knowledge of the] unseen to anyone 26 "Except a messenger whom He has chosen: and then He makes a band of watchers march before him and behind him, 27 That He may know that they have indeed conveyed the messages of their Lord. He surroundeth all their doings, and He keepeth count of all things. 28
