Say: I only call upon my Lord, and I do not associate any one with Him. 20 Say, "It is not in my power to cause you either harm or good?" 21 Say, "No one can protect me from God, nor can I find any place of refuge but with him. 22 except a deliverance from Allah and His Messages. He who disobeys Allah and His Messenger, for him is the Fire of Gehenna, which he will be in for ever. 23 [The disbelievers continue] until, when they see that which they are promised, then they will know who is weaker in helpers and less in number. 24 Say: I do not know whether that with which you are threatened be nigh or whether my Lord will appoint for it a term: 25 The All Knowing of all the hidden does not give anyone the control over His secrets. 26 Except to him whom He chooses as an apostle; for surely He makes a guard to march before him and after him, 27 so that He may know that they have delivered the messages of their Lord. He encompasses in His knowledge their surroundings and keeps a count of all things.” 28
