Say: "I do no more than invoke my Lord, and I join not with Him any (false god)." 20 Say: Lo! I control not hurt nor benefit for you. 21 Say: 'None shall protect me from Allah, and other than Him, I will find no refuge, 22 except a deliverance from Allah and His Messages. He who disobeys Allah and His Messenger, for him is the Fire of Gehenna, which he will be in for ever. 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 (Muhammad), say, "I do not know whether that with which you have been threatened is close by or whether my Lord will prolong the time of its coming. 25 The All Knowing of all the hidden does not give anyone the control over His secrets. 26 except only to a Messenger that He has chosen, and He sends guardians before him and 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
