(Muhammad), say, "I worship only my Lord and do not consider anyone equal to Him". 20 Say: "Neither is your loss within my power nor bringing you to guidance." 21 Say: 'None shall protect me from Allah, and other than Him, I will find no refuge, 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 (On the Day of Judgment) when the disbelievers witness that with which they have been threatened, they will then know whose helpers are weaker and fewer in number. 24 Say: "I do not know whether that [doom] of which you were forewarned is near, or whether my Sustainer has set for it a distant term." 25 He is the knower of the Unknown, and He does not divulge His secret to any one 26 other than to a Messenger whom He chooses (for the bestowal of any part of the knowledge of the Unseen), whereafter He appoints guards who go before him and behind him, 27 So that He may know that they have truly delivered the messages of their Lord, and He encompasses what is with them and He records the number of all things. 28
