Say: 'I call only upon my Lord, and I do not associate with Him anyone. 20 Say: 'Surely I possess no power over you, either for hurt or for rectitude.' 21 Say: "No one can deliver me from Allah (If I were to disobey Him), nor should I find refuge except in 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 [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: 'I do not know whether that which you are promised is nigh, or whether my Lord will appoint for it a space; 25 He knows the unseen and He does not allow anyone to know His secrets except those of His Messengers whom He chooses. 26 except the messenger whom He has chosen. He sends down guardians who walk before them and behind them, 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
