Say: "I do no more than invoke my Lord, and I join not with Him any (false god)." 20 Say: Lo! I control not hurt nor benefit for you. 21 Say: “None can protect me from Allah, nor can I find a refuge apart from Him. 22 (My task is no more than) to deliver Allah's proclamation and His messages. And whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger, surely the Fire of Hell awaits him; therein he will abide in perpetuity.” 23 [The disbelievers continue] until, when they see that which they are promised, then they will know who is weaker in helpers and less in number. 24 Say: 'I do not know whether that which you are promised is nigh, or whether my Lord will appoint for it a space; 25 He knows the unseen and He does not allow anyone to know His secrets except those of His Messengers whom He chooses. 26 Save unto an apostle chosen. And then He causeth to go before him and behind him a guard. 27 That he may know that they have conveyed the messages of their Lord; and He has encompassed whatever is with them and has enumerated all things in number. 28
