(Muhammad), say, "I worship only my Lord and do not consider anyone equal to Him". 20 Say: “Surely neither it is in my power to hurt you nor to bring you to the Right Way.” 21 Say: “None can protect me from Allah, nor can I find a refuge apart from Him. 22 "Unless I proclaim what I receive from Allah and His Messages: for any that disobey Allah and His Messenger,- for them is Hell: they shall dwell therein for ever." 23 Till (the day) when they shall behold that which they are promised (they may doubt); but then they will know (for certain) who is weaker in allies and less in multitude. 24 Say: I do not know whether that with which you are threatened be nigh or whether my Lord will appoint for it a 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 as to make manifest that it is indeed [but] their Sustainer's messages that these [apostles] deliver: for it is He who encompasses [with His knowledge] all that they have [to say,] just as He takes count, one by one, of everything [that exists]. 28
