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: "No one can save me from God, nor can I find a place of refuge apart from Him, 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 Until, when they see that which they are promised, then they will know who is weaker in helpers and fewer in numbers. 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 knows the unseen and He does not allow anyone to know His secrets except those of His Messengers whom He chooses. 26 unless it be to an apostle whom He has been pleased to elect [there for]: and then He sends forth [the forces of heaven] to watch over him in whatever lies open before him and in what is beyond his ken 27 That He may know that they have preached the message of their Lord. And He comprehendeth whatever is with them, and He keepeth count of everything numbered. 28
