Say, "I call only upon my Lord and do not associate anyone else with Him." 20 Say, "Indeed, I do not possess for you [the power of] harm or right direction." 21 Say: 'From God shall protect me not anyone, and I shall find, apart from Him, no refuge, 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 Until, when they see that which they are promised, then they will know who is weaker in helpers and fewer in numbers. 24 Say: “I know not whether what you are promised is near or whether my Lord will prolong its term. 25 (He is) the Knower of the Unseen, and He revealeth unto none His secret, 26 Except whom He has approved of messengers, and indeed, He sends before each messenger and behind him observers 27 So that He may know if they have delivered their Lord's messages. He comprehends all that has been given them, and keeps count of everything. 28
