Say, (O Prophet): “I call on my Lord alone, and I do not associate aught with Him in His Divinity.” 20 Say: “Surely neither it is in my power to hurt you nor to bring you to the Right Way.” 21 Say: 'None shall protect me from Allah, and other than Him, I will find no refuge, 22 if I should fail to convey [to the world whatever illumination comes to me] from God and His messages." Now as for him who rebels against God and His Apostle - verily, the fire of hell awaits him, therein to abide beyond the count of time. 23 Till the time when they will see what they are promised – so they will now come to know whose aide is weak, and who is lesser in number. 24 Say: 'I do not know whether that which you are promised is near, or whether my Lord will set for it a time. 25 He is the knower of the Unknown, and He does not divulge His secret to any one 26 "Except a messenger whom He has chosen: and then He makes a band of watchers march before him and behind him, 27 so that He may know that they have delivered the Messages of their Lord and He encompasses all that is with them, and He has counted everything in numbers' 28
