Say: I only call upon my Lord, and I do not associate any one with Him. 20 Say: 'Indeed, I possess no power over you, either for harm or for guidance' 21 Say: 'From God shall protect me not anyone, and I shall find, apart from Him, 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 Until when they see what they are threatened with, then shall they know who is weaker in helpers and fewer in number. 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 is) the Knower of the Unseen, and He revealeth unto none His secret, 26 save only to such a Messenger as He is well-pleased with; then He despatches before him and behind him watchers, 27 (Messenger) so that He would know that the Messengers have conveyed the message of their Lord. He encompasses all that is with them and He keeps a precise account of all things". 28
