Say (O Muhammad SAW): "I invoke only my Lord (Allah Alone), and I associate none as partners along with Him." 20 Say: Lo! I control not hurt nor benefit for you. 21 Say, "Indeed, there will never protect me from Allah anyone [if I should disobey], nor will I find in other than Him a refuge. 22 if I should fail to convey [to the world whatever illumination comes to me] from God and His messages." Now as for him who rebels against God and His Apostle - verily, the fire of hell awaits him, therein to abide beyond the count of time. 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 that with which you are threatened be nigh or whether my Lord will appoint for it a term: 25 "He (alone) knows the Unseen, nor does He make any one acquainted with His Mysteries,- 26 save only to such a Messenger as He is well-pleased with; then He despatches before him and behind him watchers, 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
