Say: 'I supplicate only to my Lord and I do not associate any with Him' 20 Say: 'Surely I possess no power over you, either for hurt or for rectitude.' 21 Say: 'From God shall protect me not anyone, and I shall find, apart from Him, no refuge, 22 But [I have for you] only notification from Allah, and His messages." And whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger - then indeed, for him is the fire of Hell; they will abide therein forever. 23 Until, when they see that which they are promised, then they will know who is weaker in helpers and fewer in numbers. 24 Say: 'I do not know whether that which you are promised is near, or whether my Lord will set for it a time. 25 "He (alone) knows the Unseen, nor does He make any one acquainted with His Mysteries,- 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 [He (Allah) protects them (the Messengers)], till He sees that they (the Messengers) have conveyed the Messages of their Lord (Allah). And He (Allah) surrounds all that which is with them, and He (Allah) keeps count of all things (i.e. He knows the exact number of everything). 28
