(Muhammad), say, "I worship only my Lord and do not consider anyone equal to Him". 20 Say: "Verily, it is not in my power to cause you harm or to endow you with consciousness of what is right." 21 Say: 'From God shall protect me not anyone, and I shall find, apart from Him, no refuge, 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 [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 (O Muhammad SAW): "I know not whether (the punishment) which you are promised is near or whether my Lord will appoint for it a distant term. 25 He [alone] knows that which is beyond the reach of a created being's perception, and to none does He disclose aught of the mysteries of His Own unfathomable knowledge, 26 Save unto an apostle chosen. And then He causeth to go before him and behind him a guard. 27 so that He may know that they have delivered the messages of their Lord. He encompasses in His knowledge their surroundings and keeps a count of all things.” 28
