Say: 'I supplicate only to my Lord and I do not associate any with Him' 20 Say: 'Indeed, I possess no power over you, either for harm or for guidance' 21 Say, "Surely no one can protect me against God, nor can I find besides Him any place of refuge. 22 My only (means of protection) is to convey the message of God. Whoever disobeys God and His Messenger will go to hell, wherein he will live forever". 23 (On the Day of Judgment) when the disbelievers witness that with which they have been threatened, they will then know whose helpers are weaker and fewer in number. 24 Say: "I know not whether the (Punishment) which ye are promised is near, or whether my Lord will appoint for it a distant term. 25 Knower He of the Unseen, and He discloses not His Unseen to anyone, 26 Other than an apostle He has chosen, when He makes a sentinel walk in front of him and a sentinel behind, 27 So that He may know if they have delivered their Lord's messages. He comprehends all that has been given them, and keeps count of everything. 28
