Say, [O Muhammad], "I only invoke my Lord and do not associate with Him anyone." 20 Say, "It is not in my power to cause you either harm or good?" 21 Say, "No one can protect me from God, nor can I find any place of refuge but with him. 22 (It is) only a delivering (of communications) from Allah and His messages; and whoever disobeys Allah and His Apostle surely he shall have the fire of hell to abide therein for a long time. 23 (They shall not change their ways) until they see that against which they had been warned, and then they will know whose helpers are weaker and whose supporters are fewer in number. 24 Say, "I do not know whether what you are promised is imminent, or whether my Lord has set for it a far-off day. 25 The Knower of the unseen! so He does not reveal His secrets to any, 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 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
