Say thou: I simply call upon Allah, and I associate not with Him any-one. 20 Say thou: verily I own not for you power of hurt nor of benefit 21 Say: Surely no one can protect me against Allah, nor can I find besides Him any place of refuge: 22 (Mine is) but conveyance (of the Truth) from Allah, and His messages; and whoso disobeyeth Allah and His messenger, lo! his is fire of hell, wherein such dwell for ever. 23 Until they see what they are promised, when they will understand who is weaker in aid and poorer in numbers. 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) knows the Unseen, nor does He make any one acquainted with His Mysteries,- 26 Save unto every messenger whom He hath chosen, and then He maketh a guard to go before him and a guard behind him 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
