Say: "I invoke my Sustainer alone, for I do not ascribe divinity to anyone beside Him." 20 Say thou: verily I own not for you power of hurt nor of benefit 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 (the day) when they shall behold that which they are promised (they may doubt); but then they will know (for certain) who is weaker in allies and less in multitude. 24 Say: "I do not know whether that [doom] of which you were forewarned is near, or whether my Sustainer has set for it a distant term." 25 (He is) the Knower of the Unseen, and He revealeth unto none His secret, 26 He causes angelic guards to march before and after him. 27 That He may know that they have indeed conveyed the messages of their Lord. He surroundeth all their doings, and He keepeth count of all things. 28
