Say: I only call upon my Lord, 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: "Verily, no one could ever protect me from God, nor could I ever find a place to hide from Him 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 Until, when they see that which they are promised, then they will 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 Knower He of the Unseen, and He discloses not His Unseen to anyone, 26 Other than an apostle He has chosen, when He makes a sentinel walk in front of him and a sentinel behind, 27 That He may know that they have indeed conveyed the messages of their Lord. He surroundeth all their doings, and He keepeth count of all things. 28
