Say (unto them, O Muhammad): I pray unto Allah only, and ascribe unto Him no partner. 20 Say: I do not control for you evil or good. 21 Say thou: verily none can protect me from Allah, nor can I find beside Him any 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 [The disbelievers continue] until, when they see that which they are promised, then they will know who is weaker in helpers and less 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 is the Knower of the unseen, and He discloseth not His unseen unto anyone. 26 Except to him whom He chooses as an apostle; for surely He makes a guard to march before him and after him, 27 (Messenger) so that He would know that the Messengers have conveyed the message of their Lord. He encompasses all that is with them and He keeps a precise account of all things". 28
