Say (unto them, O Muhammad): I pray unto Allah only, and ascribe unto Him no partner. 20 Say: "Neither is your loss within my power nor bringing you to guidance." 21 Say: Lo! none can protect me from Allah, nor can I find any refuge beside Him 22 "(Mine is) but conveyance (of the truth) from Allah and His Messages (of Islamic Monotheism), and whosoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger, then verily, for him is the Fire of Hell, he shall dwell therein forever." 23 Till, when they see that which they are promised, then they will know who it is that is weaker concerning helpers and less important concerning 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 knows the unseen and He does not allow anyone to know His secrets except those of His Messengers whom He chooses. 26 Except to a Messenger (from mankind) whom He has chosen (He informs him of unseen as much as He likes), and then He makes a band of watching guards (angels) to march before him and behind him. 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
