Say: 'I supplicate only to my Lord and I do not associate any with Him' 20 Say, "It is not in my power to cause you either harm or good?" 21 Say thou: verily none can protect me from Allah, nor can I find beside Him any refuge. 22 Unless I convey from God and deliver His message." For those who disobey God and His Apostle is the fire of Hell, where they will abide for ever; 23 Until they see what they are promised, when they will understand who is weaker in aid and poorer in numbers. 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 He is the Knower of the Unseen, and He does not disclose His Unseen to anyone 26 Other than an apostle He has chosen, when He makes a sentinel walk in front of him and a sentinel behind, 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
