Say thou: I simply call upon Allah, and I associate not with Him any-one. 20 Say, "I do not possess any power to harm or benefit you". 21 Say: "Verily, no one could ever protect me from God, nor could I ever find a place to hide from Him 22 (It is) only a delivering (of communications) from Allah and His messages; and whoever disobeys Allah and His Apostle surely he shall have the fire of hell to abide therein for a long time. 23 Till, when they see that which they are promised, then they will know who it is that is weaker concerning helpers and less important concerning numbers. 24 Say: "I know not whether the (Punishment) which ye are promised is near, or whether my Lord will appoint for it a distant term. 25 He alone has knowledge of what is hidden. He reveals this to none, 26 Save unto every messenger whom He hath chosen, and then He maketh a guard to go before him and a guard behind him 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
