Say: "I invoke my Sustainer alone, for I do not ascribe divinity to anyone beside Him." 20 Say, "I do not possess any power to harm or benefit you". 21 Say: “None can protect me from Allah, nor can I find a refuge apart from Him. 22 if I should fail to convey [to the world whatever illumination comes to me] from God and His messages." Now as for him who rebels against God and His Apostle - verily, the fire of hell awaits him, therein to abide beyond the count of time. 23 (They shall not change their ways) until they see that against which they had been warned, and then they will know whose helpers are weaker and whose supporters are fewer in number. 24 Say: "I do not know if what is promised you is near, or if my Lord prolongs its term. 25 He knows the unseen and He does not allow anyone to know His secrets except those of His Messengers whom He chooses. 26 Save unto an apostle chosen. And then He causeth to go before him and behind him a guard. 27 So that He may know that they have truly delivered the messages of their Lord, and He encompasses what is with them and He records the number of all things. 28
