Say: "I call on my Lord alone and I do not associate any one with Him." 20 Say, "Indeed, I do not possess for you [the power of] harm or right direction." 21 Say: "Verily, no one could ever protect me from God, nor could I ever find a place to hide from Him 22 (It is) only a delivering (of communications) from Allah and His messages; and whoever disobeys Allah and His Apostle surely he shall have the fire of hell to abide therein for a long time. 23 Till (the day) when they shall behold that which they are promised (they may doubt); but then they will know (for certain) who is weaker in allies and less in multitude. 24 Say, "I do not know if what you are promised is near or if my Lord will grant for it a [long] period." 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 to His chosen Noble Messengers – so He appoints guards in front and behind him. (Allah gave the knowledge of the hidden to the Holy Prophet – peace and blessings be upon him.) 27 so that He may know that the messengers have delivered the messages of their Lord. He encompasses all that is with them and He keeps count of all things. 28
