Say: "I invoke my Sustainer alone, for I do not ascribe divinity to anyone beside Him." 20 Say: "Neither is your loss within my power nor bringing you to guidance." 21 Say: Lo! none can protect me from Allah, nor can I find any refuge beside 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 When they are confronted by what they have been promised, they will realize who is weaker in helpers and fewer in numbers. 24 Say, "I do not know whether what you are promised is imminent, or whether my Lord has set for it a far-off day. 25 He alone has knowledge of what is hidden. He reveals this to none, 26 Except to a Messenger (from mankind) whom He has chosen (He informs him of unseen as much as He likes), and then He makes a band of watching guards (angels) to march before him and behind him. 27 that He may know they have delivered the Messages of their Lord; and He encompasses all that is with them, and He has numbered everything in numbers.' 28
