Say: I only call upon my Lord, and I do not associate any one with Him. 20 Say: "It is not in my power to cause you harm, or to bring you to the Right Path." 21 Say: "Verily, no one could ever protect me from God, nor could I ever find a place to hide from Him 22 Unless I convey from God and deliver His message." For those who disobey God and His Apostle is the fire of Hell, where they will abide for ever; 23 [Let them, then, wait] until the time when they behold that [doom] of which they were forewarned: for then they will come to understand which [kind of man] is more helpless and counts for less! 24 Say: “I know not whether what you are promised is near or whether my Lord will prolong its term. 25 "He (alone) knows the Unseen, nor does He make any one acquainted with His Mysteries,- 26 unless it be to an apostle whom He has been pleased to elect [there for]: and then He sends forth [the forces of heaven] to watch over him in whatever lies open before him and in what is beyond his ken 27 In order to see that they have conveyed the messages of their Lord – and His knowledge encompasses all whatever they have, and He has kept all things accounted for. 28
