Say: 'I call only upon my Lord, and I do not associate with Him anyone. 20 Say: "It is not in my power to cause you harm, or to bring you to right conduct." 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 time when they will see what they are promised – so they will now come to know whose aide is weak, and who is lesser in number. 24 Say, "I do not know if what you are promised is near or if my Lord will grant for it a [long] period." 25 He is the Knower of the unseen, and He discloseth not His unseen unto anyone. 26 Save unto every messenger whom He hath chosen, and then He maketh a guard to go before him and a guard behind him 27 that He may know they have delivered the Messages of their Lord; and He encompasses all that is with them, and He has numbered everything in numbers.' 28
