Say: "I do no more than invoke my Lord, and I join not with Him any (false god)." 20 Say: 'Indeed, I possess no power over you, either for harm or for guidance' 21 Say: "No one can deliver me from Allah (If I were to disobey Him), nor should I find refuge except in 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 When they are confronted by what they have been promised, they will realize who is weaker in helpers and fewer in numbers. 24 Say: "I do not know whether that [doom] of which you were forewarned is near, or whether my Sustainer has set for it a distant term." 25 [He is] Knower of the unseen, and He does not disclose His [knowledge of the] unseen to anyone 26 Save unto an apostle chosen. And then He causeth to go before him and behind him a guard. 27 so that He may know that the messengers have delivered the messages of their Lord. He encompasses all that is with them and He keeps count of all things. 28
