Say: 'I call only upon my Lord, and I do not associate with Him anyone. 20 Say thou: verily I own not for you power of hurt nor of benefit 21 Say: Surely no one can protect me against Allah, nor can I find besides Him any place of refuge: 22 "(Mine is) but conveyance (of the truth) from Allah and His Messages (of Islamic Monotheism), and whosoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger, then verily, for him is the Fire of Hell, he shall dwell therein forever." 23 Till the time when they will see what they are promised – so they will now come to know whose aide is weak, and who is lesser in number. 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 Knower He of the Unseen, and He discloses not His Unseen to anyone, 26 Except to a Messenger (from mankind) whom He has chosen (He informs him of unseen as much as He likes), and then He makes a band of watching guards (angels) to march before him and behind him. 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
