Say, (O Prophet): “I call on my Lord alone, and I do not associate aught with Him in His Divinity.” 20 Say, "Indeed, I do not possess for you [the power of] harm or right direction." 21 Say: 'None shall protect me from Allah, and other than Him, I will find 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 When they are confronted by what they have been promised, they will realize who is weaker in helpers and fewer in numbers. 24 Say: "I know not whether the (Punishment) which ye are promised is near, or whether my Lord will appoint for it a distant term. 25 The Knower of the unseen! so He does not reveal His secrets to any, 26 except only to a Messenger that He has chosen, and He sends guardians before him and behind him, 27 That he may know that they have conveyed the messages of their Lord; and He has encompassed whatever is with them and has enumerated all things in number. 28
