Say thou: I simply call upon Allah, and I associate not with Him any-one. 20 Say: 'Indeed, I possess no power over you, either for harm or for guidance' 21 Say: Surely no one can protect me against Allah, nor can I find besides Him any place of refuge: 22 "Unless I proclaim what I receive from Allah and His Messages: for any that disobey Allah and His Messenger,- for them is Hell: they shall dwell therein for ever." 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, "I do not know if what you are promised is near or if my Lord will grant for it a [long] period." 25 The All Knowing of all the hidden does not give anyone the control over His secrets. 26 Except to His chosen Noble Messengers – so He appoints guards in front and behind him. (Allah gave the knowledge of the hidden to the Holy Prophet – peace and blessings be upon him.) 27 [He (Allah) protects them (the Messengers)], till He sees that they (the Messengers) have conveyed the Messages of their Lord (Allah). And He (Allah) surrounds all that which is with them, and He (Allah) keeps count of all things (i.e. He knows the exact number of everything). 28
