Say, "I call only upon my Lord and do not associate anyone else with Him." 20 Say: 'Surely I possess no power over you, either for hurt or for rectitude.' 21 Say, "Surely no one can protect me against God, nor can I find besides Him any place of refuge. 22 except a deliverance from Allah and His Messages. He who disobeys Allah and His Messenger, for him is the Fire of Gehenna, which he will be in for ever. 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 which you are promised is near, or whether my Lord will set for it a time. 25 Knower He of the Unseen, and He discloses not His Unseen to anyone, 26 except the messenger whom He has chosen. He sends down guardians who walk before them and behind them, 27 that He may know they have delivered the Messages of their Lord; and He encompasses all that is with them, and He has numbered everything in numbers.' 28
