Say: 'I call only upon my Lord, and I do not associate with Him anyone. 20 Say, "I do not possess any power to harm or benefit you". 21 Say: 'From God shall protect me not anyone, and I shall find, apart from Him, no refuge, 22 My only (means of protection) is to convey the message of God. Whoever disobeys God and His Messenger will go to hell, wherein he will live forever". 23 Till the time when they will see what they are promised – so they will now come to know whose aide is weak, and who is lesser in number. 24 Say thou: I know not whether that which ye are promised is nigh, or whether my Lord hath appointed for it a distant term. 25 The All Knowing of all the hidden does not give anyone the control over His secrets. 26 save only to such a Messenger as He is well-pleased with; then He despatches before him and behind him watchers, 27 (Messenger) so that He would know that the Messengers have conveyed the message of their Lord. He encompasses all that is with them and He keeps a precise account of all things". 28
