Say, [O Muhammad], "I only invoke my Lord and do not associate with Him anyone." 20 Say: "It is not in my power to cause you harm, or to bring you to right conduct." 21 Say, "Indeed, there will never protect me from Allah anyone [if I should disobey], nor will I find in other than Him a refuge. 22 “I only convey the commands from Allah, and His messages; and whoever disobeys the commands of Allah and His Noble Messenger – then indeed for him is the fire of hell, in which they will remain for ever and 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 (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 knows the unseen and He does not allow anyone to know His secrets except those of His Messengers whom He chooses. 26 except only to a Messenger that He has chosen, and He sends guardians before him and behind him, 27 so that He may know that they have delivered the Messages of their Lord and He encompasses all that is with them, and He has counted everything in numbers' 28
