Say: "I invoke my Sustainer alone, for I do not ascribe divinity to anyone beside Him." 20 Say: "Neither is your loss within my power nor bringing you to guidance." 21 Say thou: verily none can protect me from Allah, nor can I find beside Him any refuge. 22 Mine is but the publishing from Allah and His messages; and whosoever disobeyeth Allah and His apostle, his portion verily is the Hell-Fire as abiders therein for evermore. 23 When they see that which they were promised they shall know who is weaker in helpers and fewer in 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 the Knower of the unseen, and He discloseth not His unseen unto anyone. 26 except only to a Messenger that He has chosen, and He sends guardians before him and behind him, 27 that He may know they have delivered the Messages of their Lord; and He encompasses all that is with them, and He has numbered everything in numbers.' 28
