Say, "I call only upon my Lord and do not associate anyone else with Him." 20 Say: I do not control for you evil or good. 21 Say thou: verily none can protect me from Allah, nor can I find beside Him any refuge. 22 “I only convey the commands from Allah, and His messages; and whoever disobeys the commands of Allah and His Noble Messenger – then indeed for him is the fire of hell, in which they will remain for ever and ever.” 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 know not whether what you are promised is near or whether my Lord will prolong its term. 25 (He is) the Knower of the Unseen, and He revealeth unto none His secret, 26 Save unto an apostle chosen. And then He causeth to go before him and behind him a guard. 27 That He may know that they have preached the message of their Lord. And He comprehendeth whatever is with them, and He keepeth count of everything numbered. 28
