Say (unto them, O Muhammad): I pray unto Allah only, and ascribe unto Him no partner. 20 Say thou: verily I own not for you power of hurt nor of benefit 21 Say: Lo! none can protect me from Allah, nor can I find any refuge beside Him 22 Mine is but the publishing from Allah and His messages; and whosoever disobeyeth Allah and His apostle, his portion verily is the Hell-Fire as abiders therein for evermore. 23 Till, when they see that which they are promised, then they will know who it is that is weaker concerning helpers and less important concerning numbers. 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 is the Knower of the Unseen and does not disclose His Unseen to anyone, 26 He causes angelic guards to march before and after 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
