Say: 'I supplicate only to my Lord and I do not associate any with Him' 20 Say, "I do not possess any power to harm or benefit you". 21 Say: Surely no one can protect me against Allah, nor can I find besides Him any place of refuge: 22 "(Mine is) but conveyance (of the truth) from Allah and His Messages (of Islamic Monotheism), and whosoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger, then verily, for him is the Fire of Hell, he shall dwell therein forever." 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 whether that [doom] of which you were forewarned is near, or whether my Sustainer has set for it a distant term." 25 The All Knowing of all the hidden does not give anyone the control over His secrets. 26 except only to a Messenger that He has chosen, and He sends guardians before him and 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
