(Muhammad), say, "I worship only my Lord and do not consider anyone equal to Him". 20 Say thou: verily I own not for you power of hurt nor of benefit 21 Say (O Muhammad SAW): "None can protect me from Allah's punishment (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 (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 whether that which you are promised is near, or whether my Lord will set for it a time. 25 "He (alone) knows the Unseen, nor does He make any one acquainted with His Mysteries,- 26 save only to such a Messenger as He is well-pleased with; then He despatches before him and behind him watchers, 27 so as to make manifest that it is indeed [but] their Sustainer's messages that these [apostles] deliver: for it is He who encompasses [with His knowledge] all that they have [to say,] just as He takes count, one by one, of everything [that exists]. 28
