Say, (O Prophet): “I call on my Lord alone, and I do not associate aught with Him in His Divinity.” 20 Say: 'Surely I possess no power over you, either for hurt or for rectitude.' 21 Say: Lo! none can protect me from Allah, nor can I find any refuge beside Him 22 excepting a Deliverance from God and His Messages. And whoso rebels against God and His messenger, for him there awaits the Fire of Gehenna; therein they shall dwell forever.' 23 Until when they see what they are threatened with, then shall they know who is weaker in helpers and fewer in number. 24 Say, "I do not know whether what you are promised is imminent, or whether my Lord has set for it a far-off day. 25 "He (alone) knows the Unseen, nor does He make any one acquainted with His Mysteries,- 26 "Except a messenger whom He has chosen: and then He makes a band of watchers march before him and behind him, 27 [He (Allah) protects them (the Messengers)], till He sees that they (the Messengers) have conveyed the Messages of their Lord (Allah). And He (Allah) surrounds all that which is with them, and He (Allah) keeps count of all things (i.e. He knows the exact number of everything). 28
