Say: "I invoke my Sustainer alone, for I do not ascribe divinity to anyone beside Him." 20 Say: Lo! I control not hurt nor benefit for you. 21 Say: “None can protect me from Allah, nor can I find a refuge apart from Him. 22 excepting a Deliverance from God and His Messages. And whoso rebels against God and His messenger, for him there awaits the Fire of Gehenna; therein they shall dwell forever.' 23 Till (the day) when they shall behold that which they are promised (they may doubt); but then they will know (for certain) who is weaker in allies and less in multitude. 24 Say (O dear Prophet Mohammed – peace and blessings be upon him), “I do not know whether what you are promised is close or if my Lord will postpone it for a while.” 25 He alone has knowledge of what is hidden. He reveals this to none, 26 except the messenger whom He has chosen. He sends down guardians who walk before them and behind them, 27 In order to see that they have conveyed the messages of their Lord – and His knowledge encompasses all whatever they have, and He has kept all things accounted for. 28
