Say (unto them, O Muhammad): I pray unto Allah only, and ascribe unto Him no partner. 20 Say, "I do not possess any power to harm or benefit you". 21 Say: Lo! none can protect me from Allah, nor can I find any refuge beside Him 22 (It is) only a delivering (of communications) from Allah and His messages; and whoever disobeys Allah and His Apostle surely he shall have the fire of hell to abide therein for a long time. 23 (They shall not change their ways) until they see that against which they had been warned, and then they will know whose helpers are weaker and whose supporters are 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 is) the Knower of the Unseen, and He revealeth unto none His secret, 26 Except whom He has approved of messengers, and indeed, He sends before each messenger and behind him observers 27 So that He may know if they have delivered their Lord's messages. He comprehends all that has been given them, and keeps count of everything. 28
