Say, "I call only upon my Lord and do not associate anyone else with Him." 20 Say, "Indeed, I do not possess for you [the power of] harm or right direction." 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 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 know not whether what you are promised is near or whether my Lord will prolong its term. 25 He [alone] knows that which is beyond the reach of a created being's perception, and to none does He disclose aught of the mysteries of His Own unfathomable knowledge, 26 Other than an apostle He has chosen, when He makes a sentinel walk in front of him and a sentinel behind, 27 So that He may know that they have truly delivered the messages of their Lord, and He encompasses what is with them and He records the number of all things. 28
