Say thou: I simply call upon Allah, and I associate not with Him any-one. 20 Say: 'Surely I possess no power over you, either for hurt or for rectitude.' 21 Say thou: verily none can protect me from Allah, nor can I find beside Him any refuge. 22 My only (means of protection) is to convey the message of God. Whoever disobeys God and His Messenger will go to hell, wherein he will live forever". 23 [The disbelievers continue] until, when they see that which they are promised, then they will know who is weaker in helpers and less in number. 24 Say (O Muhammad, unto the disbelievers): I know not whether that which ye are promised is nigh, or if my Lord hath set a distant term for it. 25 He knows the unseen and He does not allow anyone to know His secrets except those of His Messengers whom He chooses. 26 save only to such a Messenger as He is well-pleased with; then He despatches before him and behind him watchers, 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
