Say: "I do no more than invoke my Lord, and I join not with Him any (false god)." 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 “I only convey the commands from Allah, and His messages; and whoever disobeys the commands of Allah and His Noble Messenger – then indeed for him is the fire of hell, in which they will remain for ever and ever.” 23 [The disbelievers continue] until, when they see that which they are promised, then they will know who is weaker in helpers and less in number. 24 Say thou: I know not whether that which ye are promised is nigh, or whether my Lord hath appointed for it a distant term. 25 He is the Knower of the Unseen and does not disclose His Unseen to anyone, 26 except only to a Messenger that He has chosen, and He sends guardians before him and behind him, 27 That He may know that they have preached the message of their Lord. And He comprehendeth whatever is with them, and He keepeth count of everything numbered. 28
