(Muhammad), say, "I worship only my Lord and do not consider anyone equal to Him". 20 Say, "It is not in my power to cause you either harm or good?" 21 Say: "No one can save me from God, nor can I find a place of refuge apart from Him, 22 excepting a Deliverance from God and His Messages. And whoso rebels against God and His messenger, for him there awaits the Fire of Gehenna; therein they shall dwell forever.' 23 When they are confronted by what they have been promised, they will realize who is weaker in helpers and fewer in numbers. 24 Say: 'I do not know whether that which you are promised is nigh, or whether my Lord will appoint for it a space; 25 He is the Knower of the unseen, and He discloseth not His unseen unto anyone. 26 Save unto every messenger whom He hath chosen, and then He maketh a guard to go before him and a guard behind him 27 That He may know that they have indeed conveyed the messages of their Lord. He surroundeth all their doings, and He keepeth count of all things. 28
