Say (O dear Prophet Mohammed – peace and blessings be upon him), “I worship only Allah, and I do not ascribe any partner to Him.” 20 Say: 'Surely I possess no power over you, either for hurt or for rectitude.' 21 Say: 'None shall protect me from Allah, and other than Him, I will find no refuge, 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 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 whether what you are promised is imminent, or whether my Lord has set for it a far-off day. 25 Knower He of the Unseen, and He discloses not His Unseen to anyone, 26 Except whom He has approved of messengers, and indeed, He sends before each messenger and behind him observers 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
