Say, [O Muhammad], "I only invoke my Lord and do not associate with Him anyone." 20 Say: 'Indeed, I possess no power over you, either for harm or for guidance' 21 Say: "Verily, no one could ever protect me from God, nor could I ever find a place to hide from Him 22 (Mine is) but conveyance (of the Truth) from Allah, and His messages; and whoso disobeyeth Allah and His messenger, lo! his is fire of hell, wherein such dwell for ever. 23 They shall go on denying until they; behold that which they are promised wherefore then they shall know who were weaker in protectors and fewer in number. 24 Say: "I do not know if what is promised you is near, or if my Lord prolongs its term. 25 "He (alone) knows the Unseen, nor does He make any one acquainted with His Mysteries,- 26 except the messenger whom He has chosen. He sends down guardians who walk before them and behind them, 27 [He (Allah) protects them (the Messengers)], till He sees that they (the Messengers) have conveyed the Messages of their Lord (Allah). And He (Allah) surrounds all that which is with them, and He (Allah) keeps count of all things (i.e. He knows the exact number of everything). 28
