Say: 'I supplicate only to my Lord and I do not associate any with Him' 20 Say: 'Surely I possess no power over you, either for hurt or for rectitude.' 21 Say, "No one can protect me from God, nor can I find any place of refuge but with him. 22 (Mine is) but conveyance (of the Truth) from Allah, and His messages; and whoso disobeyeth Allah and His messenger, lo! his is fire of hell, wherein such dwell for ever. 23 Until they see what they are promised, when they will understand who is weaker in aid and poorer in numbers. 24 Say: 'I do not know whether that which you are promised is nigh, or whether my Lord will appoint for it a space; 25 He is the knower of the Unknown, and He does not divulge His secret to any one 26 Except to His chosen Noble Messengers – so He appoints guards in front and behind him. (Allah gave the knowledge of the hidden to the Holy Prophet – peace and blessings be upon him.) 27 That he may know that they have conveyed the messages of their Lord; and He has encompassed whatever is with them and has enumerated all things in number. 28
