Say: "I do no more than invoke my Lord, and I join not with Him any (false god)." 20 Say thou: verily I own not for you power of hurt nor of benefit 21 Say, "Surely no one can protect me against God, nor can I find besides Him any place of refuge. 22 But [I have for you] only notification from Allah, and His messages." And whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger - then indeed, for him is the fire of Hell; they will abide 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 (Muhammad), say, "I do not know whether that with which you have been threatened is close by or whether my Lord will prolong the time of its coming. 25 He is the knower of the Unknown, and He does not divulge His secret to any one 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 that they have conveyed the messages of their Lord; and He has encompassed whatever is with them and has enumerated all things in number. 28
