Say: "I do no more than invoke my Lord, and I join not with Him any (false god)." 20 Say: "It is not in my power to cause you harm, or to bring you to the Right Path." 21 Say: "No one can deliver me from Allah (If I were to disobey Him), nor should I find refuge except in Him, 22 My duty is only to convey that which I receive from Him and His messages." For those who disobey God and His Messenger there is the fire of hell, wherein they will abide forever. 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 do not know whether that which you are promised is near, or whether my Lord will set for it a time. 25 He is the knower of the Unknown, and He does not divulge His secret to any one 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 That He may know that they have indeed conveyed the messages of their Lord. He surroundeth all their doings, and He keepeth count of all things. 28
