Say (O dear Prophet Mohammed – peace and blessings be upon him), “I worship only Allah, and I do not ascribe any partner to Him.” 20 Say: “Surely neither it is in my power to hurt you nor to bring you to the Right Way.” 21 Say: “None can protect me from Allah, nor can I find a refuge apart from Him. 22 (My task is no more than) to deliver Allah's proclamation and His messages. And whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger, surely the Fire of Hell awaits him; therein he will abide in perpetuity.” 23 Till the time when they will see what they are promised – so they will now come to know whose aide is weak, and who is lesser in number. 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 alone has knowledge of what is hidden. He reveals this to none, 26 He causes angelic guards to march before and after him. 27 That He may know that they have indeed conveyed the messages of their Lord. He surroundeth all their doings, and He keepeth count of all things. 28
