Say (unto them, O Muhammad): I pray unto Allah only, and ascribe unto Him no partner. 20 Say: Lo! I control not hurt nor benefit for you. 21 Say: "No one can save me from God, nor can I find a place of refuge apart from Him, 22 "(Mine is) but conveyance (of the truth) from Allah and His Messages (of Islamic Monotheism), and whosoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger, then verily, for him is the Fire of Hell, he shall dwell therein forever." 23 Until they see what they are promised, when they will understand who is weaker in aid and poorer in numbers. 24 Say: “I know not whether what you are promised is near or whether my Lord will prolong its term. 25 He [alone] knows that which is beyond the reach of a created being's perception, and to none does He disclose aught of the mysteries of His Own unfathomable knowledge, 26 except the messenger whom He has chosen. He sends down guardians who walk before them and behind them, 27 So that He may know if they have delivered their Lord's messages. He comprehends all that has been given them, and keeps count of everything. 28
