Say: "I call on my Lord alone and I do not associate any one with Him." 20 Say: "Neither is your loss within my power nor bringing you to guidance." 21 Say: Surely no one can protect me against Allah, nor can I find besides Him any place of refuge: 22 (It is) only a delivering (of communications) from Allah and His messages; and whoever disobeys Allah and His Apostle surely he shall have the fire of hell to abide therein for a long time. 23 They shall go on denying until they; behold that which they are promised wherefore then they shall know who were weaker in protectors and fewer in number. 24 Say: “I know not whether what you are promised is near or whether my Lord will prolong its term. 25 [He is] Knower of the unseen, and He does not disclose His [knowledge of the] unseen to anyone 26 except the messenger whom He has chosen. He sends down guardians who walk before them and behind them, 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
