Say: I only call upon my Lord, and I do not associate any one with Him. 20 Say thou: verily I own not for you power of hurt nor of benefit 21 Say: “None can protect me from Allah, nor can I find a refuge apart from Him. 22 except a deliverance from Allah and His Messages. He who disobeys Allah and His Messenger, for him is the Fire of Gehenna, which he will be in for ever. 23 When they are confronted by what they have been promised, they will realize who is weaker in helpers and fewer in numbers. 24 Say (O Muhammad, unto the disbelievers): I know not whether that which ye are promised is nigh, or if my Lord hath set a distant term for it. 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 a messenger whom He has chosen: and then He makes a band of watchers march before him and behind him, 27 In order to see that they have conveyed the messages of their Lord – and His knowledge encompasses all whatever they have, and He has kept all things accounted for. 28
