Say: "I call on my Lord alone and I do not associate any one with Him." 20 Say: 'Indeed, I possess no power over you, either for harm or for guidance' 21 Say thou: verily none can protect me from Allah, nor can I find beside Him any refuge. 22 Unless I convey from God and deliver His message." For those who disobey God and His Apostle is the fire of Hell, where they will abide for ever; 23 At length, when they see (with their own eyes) that which they are promised,- then will they know who it is that is weakest in (his) helper and least important in point of 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 is] Knower of the unseen, and He does not disclose His [knowledge of the] unseen to anyone 26 Except whom He has approved of messengers, and indeed, He sends before each messenger and behind him observers 27 "That He may know that they have (truly) brought and delivered the Messages of their Lord: and He surrounds (all the mysteries) that are with them, and takes account of every single thing." 28
