Say (unto them, O Muhammad): I pray unto Allah only, and ascribe unto Him no partner. 20 Say: I do not control for you evil or good. 21 Say: 'None shall protect me from Allah, and other than Him, I will find 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 (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 that which you are promised is near, or whether my Lord will set for it a time. 25 [He is] Knower of the unseen, and He does not disclose His [knowledge of the] unseen to anyone 26 Except whom He has approved of messengers, and indeed, He sends before each messenger and behind him observers 27 In order to see that they have conveyed the messages of their Lord – and His knowledge encompasses all whatever they have, and He has kept all things accounted for. 28
