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: 'From God shall protect me not anyone, and I shall find, apart from Him, no refuge, 22 My duty is only to convey that which I receive from Him and His messages." For those who disobey God and His Messenger there is the fire of hell, wherein they will abide forever. 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 (O Muhammad SAW): "I know not whether (the punishment) which you are promised is near or whether my Lord will appoint for it a distant term. 25 "He (alone) knows the Unseen, nor does He make any one acquainted with His Mysteries,- 26 Other than an apostle He has chosen, when He makes a sentinel walk in front of him and a sentinel behind, 27 so that He may know that the messengers have delivered the messages of their Lord. He encompasses all that is with them and He keeps count of all things. 28
