Say thou: I simply call upon Allah, and I associate not with Him any-one. 20 Say: 'Surely I possess no power over you, either for hurt or for rectitude.' 21 Say, "Surely no one can protect me against God, nor can I find besides Him any place of refuge. 22 Mine is but the publishing from Allah and His messages; and whosoever disobeyeth Allah and His apostle, his portion verily is the Hell-Fire as abiders therein for evermore. 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 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 does not disclose His Unseen to anyone 26 save only to such a Messenger as He is well-pleased with; then He despatches before him and behind him watchers, 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
