Say, [O Muhammad], "I only invoke my Lord and do not associate with Him anyone." 20 Say thou: verily I own not for you power of hurt nor of benefit 21 Say: 'From God shall protect me not anyone, and I shall find, apart from Him, no 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 Until when they see what they are threatened with, then shall they know who is weaker in helpers and fewer in number. 24 Say: 'I do not know whether that which you are promised is nigh, or whether my Lord will appoint for it a space; 25 He is the Knower of the unseen, and He discloseth not His unseen unto anyone. 26 except the messenger whom He has chosen. He sends down guardians who walk before them and behind them, 27 so that He may know that they have delivered the Messages of their Lord and He encompasses all that is with them, and He has counted everything in numbers' 28
