Say: 'I call only upon my Lord, and I do not associate with Him anyone. 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 My duty is only to convey that which I receive from Him and His messages." For those who disobey God and His Messenger there is the fire of hell, wherein they will abide forever. 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 if what you are promised is near or if my Lord will grant for it a [long] period." 25 He is the Knower of the unseen, and He discloseth not His unseen unto anyone. 26 Save unto an apostle chosen. And then He causeth to go before him and behind him a guard. 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
