Say: "I call on my Lord alone and I do not associate any one with Him." 20 Say: "Verily, it is not in my power to cause you harm or to endow you with consciousness of what is right." 21 Say: "Verily, no one could ever protect me from God, nor could I ever find a place to hide from Him 22 (It is) only a delivering (of communications) from Allah and His messages; and whoever disobeys Allah and His Apostle surely he shall have the fire of hell to abide therein for a long time. 23 At length, when they see (with their own eyes) that which they are promised,- then will they know who it is that is weakest in (his) helper and least important in point of numbers. 24 Say, "I do not know if what you are promised is near or if my Lord will grant for it a [long] period." 25 The All Knowing of all the hidden does not give anyone the control over His secrets. 26 Save unto an apostle chosen. And then He causeth to go before him and behind him a guard. 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
