(Muhammad), say, "I worship only my Lord and do not consider anyone equal to Him". 20 Say: 'Indeed, I possess no power over you, either for harm or for guidance' 21 Say: 'From God shall protect me not anyone, and I shall find, apart from Him, no refuge, 22 But [I have for you] only notification from Allah, and His messages." And whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger - then indeed, for him is the fire of Hell; they will abide therein forever. 23 Until when they see what they are threatened with, then shall they know who is weaker in helpers 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 that which is beyond the reach of a created being's perception, and to none does He disclose aught of the mysteries of His Own unfathomable knowledge, 26 except only to a Messenger that He has chosen, and He sends guardians before him and behind him, 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
