Say thou: I simply call upon Allah, and I associate not with Him any-one. 20 Say: Lo! I control not hurt nor benefit for you. 21 Say: "Verily, no one could ever protect me from God, nor could I ever find a place to hide from Him 22 (My task is no more than) to deliver Allah's proclamation and His messages. And whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger, surely the Fire of Hell awaits him; therein he will abide in perpetuity.” 23 Till the time when they will see what they are promised – so they will now come to know whose aide is weak, and who is lesser 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 [He is] Knower of the unseen, and He does not disclose His [knowledge of the] unseen to anyone 26 except the messenger whom He has chosen. He sends down guardians who walk before them and behind them, 27 That he may know that they have conveyed the messages of their Lord; and He has encompassed whatever is with them and has enumerated all things in number. 28
