Say: "I call on my Lord alone and I do not associate any one with Him." 20 Say, "It is not in my power to cause you either harm or good?" 21 Say, "No one can protect me from God, nor can I find any place of refuge but with him. 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 At length, when they see (with their own eyes) that which they are promised,- then will they know who it is that is weakest in (his) helper and least important in point of numbers. 24 Say: "I do not know if what is promised you is near, or if my Lord prolongs its term. 25 He is the Knower of the Unseen, and He does not disclose His Unseen to anyone 26 unless it be to an apostle whom He has been pleased to elect [there for]: and then He sends forth [the forces of heaven] to watch over him in whatever lies open before him and in what is beyond his ken 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
