Whoever disobeys God and His Messenger will go to hell, wherein he will live forever". 23 Until when they see what they are threatened with, then shall they know who is weaker in helpers and fewer in number. 24 Say: 'I do not know whether that which you are promised is near, or whether my Lord will set for it a time. 25 He is the Knower of the Unseen, and He does not disclose His Unseen to anyone 26 Except to a Messenger (from mankind) whom He has chosen (He informs him of unseen as much as He likes), and then He makes a band of watching guards (angels) to march before him and behind him. 27 so as to make manifest that it is indeed [but] their Sustainer's messages that these [apostles] deliver: for it is He who encompasses [with His knowledge] all that they have [to say,] just as He takes count, one by one, of everything [that exists]. 28
