Say: "I call on my Lord alone and I do not associate any one with Him." 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 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: “I know not whether what you are promised is near or whether my Lord will prolong its term. 25 (He is) the Knower of the Unseen, and He revealeth unto none His secret, 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
