Say: 'I call only upon my Lord, and I do not associate with Him anyone. 20 Say, "It is not in my power to cause you either harm or good?" 21 Say, "Surely no one can protect me against God, nor can I find besides Him any place of refuge. 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 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, unto the disbelievers): I know not whether that which ye are promised is nigh, or if my Lord hath set a distant term for it. 25 The Knower of the unseen! so He does not reveal His secrets to any, 26 Save unto every messenger whom He hath chosen, and then He maketh a guard to go before him and a guard behind him 27 That He may know that they have preached the message of their Lord. And He comprehendeth whatever is with them, and He keepeth count of everything numbered. 28
