Say: "I invoke my Sustainer alone, for I do not ascribe divinity to anyone beside Him." 20 Say: Lo! I control not hurt nor benefit for you. 21 Say: "Verily, no one could ever protect me from God, nor could I ever find a place to hide from Him 22 except a deliverance from Allah and His Messages. He who disobeys Allah and His Messenger, for him is the Fire of Gehenna, which he will be in for ever. 23 When they are confronted by what they have been promised, they will realize who is weaker in helpers and fewer in numbers. 24 Say: 'I do not know whether that which you are promised is nigh, or whether my Lord will appoint for it a space; 25 He alone has knowledge of what is hidden. He reveals this to none, 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
