Say: 'I supplicate only to my Lord and I do not associate any with Him' 20 Say: Lo! I control not hurt nor benefit for you. 21 Say: "Verily, no one could ever protect me from God, nor could I ever find a place to hide from Him 22 My only (means of protection) is to convey the message of God. Whoever disobeys God and His Messenger will go to hell, wherein he will live forever". 23 Until when they see what they are threatened with, then shall they know who is weaker in helpers and fewer in number. 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 [alone] knows that which is beyond the reach of a created being's perception, and to none does He disclose aught of the mysteries of His Own unfathomable knowledge, 26 Except to him whom He chooses as an apostle; for surely He makes a guard to march before him and after 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
