Say: 'I call only upon my Lord, and I do not associate with Him anyone. 20 Say: "Neither is your loss within my power nor bringing you to guidance." 21 Say thou: verily none can protect me from Allah, nor can I find beside Him any refuge. 22 "Unless I proclaim what I receive from Allah and His Messages: for any that disobey Allah and His Messenger,- for them is Hell: they shall dwell therein for ever." 23 When they are confronted by what they have been promised, they will realize who is weaker in helpers and fewer in numbers. 24 Say (O Muhammad SAW): "I know not whether (the punishment) which you are promised is near or whether my Lord will appoint for it a distant term. 25 "(He Alone) the All-Knower of the Gha'ib (unseen), and He reveals to none His Gha'ib (unseen)." 26 Other than an apostle He has chosen, when He makes a sentinel walk in front of him and a sentinel behind, 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
