Say (unto them, O Muhammad): I pray unto Allah only, and ascribe unto Him no partner. 20 Say: 'Indeed, I possess no power over you, either for harm or for guidance' 21 Say, "Indeed, there will never protect me from Allah anyone [if I should disobey], nor will I find in other than Him a refuge. 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 At length, when they see (with their own eyes) that which they are promised,- then will they know who it is that is weakest in (his) helper and least important in point of numbers. 24 Say: "I do not know if what is promised you is near, or if my Lord prolongs its term. 25 The Knower of the unseen! so He does not reveal His secrets to any, 26 Except to him whom He chooses as an apostle; for surely He makes a guard to march before him and after him, 27 so that He may know that they have delivered the messages of their Lord. He encompasses in His knowledge their surroundings and keeps a count of all things.” 28
