Say: 'I supplicate only to my Lord and I do not associate any with Him' 20 Say: I do not control for you evil or good. 21 Say, "Indeed, there will never protect me from Allah anyone [if I should disobey], nor will I find in other than Him a refuge. 22 Unless I convey from God and deliver His message." For those who disobey God and His Apostle is the fire of Hell, where they will abide 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 you are promised is near or if my Lord will grant for it a [long] period." 25 He alone has knowledge of what is hidden. He reveals this to none, 26 other than to a Messenger whom He chooses (for the bestowal of any part of the knowledge of the Unseen), whereafter He appoints guards who go before him and behind him, 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
