Say: "I do no more than invoke my Lord, and I join not with Him any (false god)." 20 Say: 'Indeed, I possess no power over you, either for harm or for guidance' 21 Say: 'From God shall protect me not anyone, and I shall find, apart from Him, no refuge, 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 (O Muhammad SAW): "I know not whether (the punishment) which you are promised is near or whether my Lord will appoint for it a distant term. 25 He knows the unseen and He does not allow anyone to know His secrets except those of His Messengers whom He chooses. 26 except the messenger whom He has chosen. He sends down guardians who walk before them and behind them, 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
