Say (O dear Prophet Mohammed – peace and blessings be upon him), “I worship only Allah, and I do not ascribe any partner to Him.” 20 Say: 'Surely I possess no power over you, either for hurt or for rectitude.' 21 Say: "No one can deliver me from Allah (If I were to disobey Him), nor should I find refuge except in Him, 22 excepting a Deliverance from God and His Messages. And whoso rebels against God and His messenger, for him there awaits the Fire of Gehenna; therein they shall dwell forever.' 23 When they see that which they were promised they shall know who is weaker in helpers and fewer in numbers. 24 Say, "I do not know whether what you are promised is imminent, or whether my Lord has set for it a far-off day. 25 He alone has knowledge of what is hidden. He reveals this to none, 26 Other than an apostle He has chosen, when He makes a sentinel walk in front of him and a sentinel behind, 27 so as to make manifest that it is indeed [but] their Sustainer's messages that these [apostles] deliver: for it is He who encompasses [with His knowledge] all that they have [to say,] just as He takes count, one by one, of everything [that exists]. 28
