Say: "I invoke my Sustainer alone, for I do not ascribe divinity to anyone beside Him." 20 Say: Lo! I control not hurt nor benefit for you. 21 Say: 'None shall protect me from Allah, and other than Him, I will find no refuge, 22 My duty is only to convey that which I receive from Him and His messages." For those who disobey God and His Messenger there is the fire of hell, wherein they will abide forever. 23 When they see that which they were promised they shall know who is weaker in helpers and fewer in numbers. 24 Say: I do not know whether that with which you are threatened be nigh or whether my Lord will appoint for it a term: 25 "(He Alone) the All-Knower of the Gha'ib (unseen), and He reveals to none His Gha'ib (unseen)." 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 preached the message of their Lord. And He comprehendeth whatever is with them, and He keepeth count of everything numbered. 28
