Say (O Muhammad SAW): "I invoke only my Lord (Allah Alone), and I associate none as partners along with Him." 20 Say: Lo! I control not hurt nor benefit for you. 21 Say: "Verily, no one could ever protect me from God, nor could I ever find a place to hide from Him 22 if I should fail to convey [to the world whatever illumination comes to me] from God and His messages." Now as for him who rebels against God and His Apostle - verily, the fire of hell awaits him, therein to abide beyond the count of time. 23 [Let them, then, wait] until the time when they behold that [doom] of which they were forewarned: for then they will come to understand which [kind of man] is more helpless and counts for less! 24 Say: "I know not whether the (Punishment) which ye are promised is near, or whether my Lord will appoint for it a distant term. 25 He is the Knower of the Unseen, and He does not disclose His Unseen to anyone 26 He causes angelic guards to march before and after him. 27 That He may know that they have preached the message of their Lord. And He comprehendeth whatever is with them, and He keepeth count of everything numbered. 28
