Say (O dear Prophet Mohammed – peace and blessings be upon him), “I worship only Allah, and I do not ascribe any partner to Him.” 20 Say: 'Surely I possess no power over you, either for hurt or for rectitude.' 21 Say, "Surely no one can protect me against God, nor can I find besides Him any place of refuge. 22 (My task is no more than) to deliver Allah's proclamation and His messages. And whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger, surely the Fire of Hell awaits him; therein he will abide in perpetuity.” 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: "I do not know if what is promised you is near, or if my Lord prolongs its term. 25 He is the Knower of the unseen, and He discloseth not His unseen unto anyone. 26 save only to such a Messenger as He is well-pleased with; then He despatches before him and behind him watchers, 27 That He may know that they have preached the message of their Lord. And He comprehendeth whatever is with them, and He keepeth count of everything numbered. 28
