Say, [O Muhammad], "I only invoke my Lord and do not associate with Him anyone." 20 Say, "It is not in my power to cause you either harm or good?" 21 Say: 'From God shall protect me not anyone, and I shall find, apart from Him, no refuge, 22 except a deliverance from Allah and His Messages. He who disobeys Allah and His Messenger, for him is the Fire of Gehenna, which he will be in for ever. 23 Until when they see what they are threatened with, then shall they know who is weaker in helpers and fewer in number. 24 (Muhammad), say, "I do not know whether that with which you have been threatened is close by or whether my Lord will prolong the time of its coming. 25 He alone has knowledge of what is hidden. He reveals this to none, 26 Except whom He has approved of messengers, and indeed, He sends before each messenger and behind him observers 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
