Say: 'I call only upon my Lord, and I do not associate with Him anyone. 20 Say: 'Surely I possess no power over you, either for hurt or for rectitude.' 21 Say: Surely no one can protect me against Allah, nor can I find besides Him any place of refuge: 22 Unless I convey from God and deliver His message." For those who disobey God and His Apostle is the fire of Hell, where they will abide for ever; 23 (They shall not change their ways) until they see that against which they had been warned, and then they will know whose helpers are weaker and whose supporters are fewer in number. 24 Say: 'I do not know whether that which you are promised is nigh, or whether my Lord will appoint for it a space; 25 The Knower of the unseen! so He does not reveal His secrets to any, 26 unless it be to an apostle whom He has been pleased to elect [there for]: and then He sends forth [the forces of heaven] to watch over him in whatever lies open before him and in what is beyond his ken 27 That he may know that they have conveyed the messages of their Lord; and He has encompassed whatever is with them and has enumerated all things in number. 28
