Say, [O Muhammad], "I only invoke my Lord and do not associate with Him anyone." 20 Say: "Neither is your loss within my power nor bringing you to guidance." 21 Say: "No one can deliver me from Allah (If I were to disobey Him), nor should I find refuge except in 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 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 know not whether what you are promised is near or whether my Lord will prolong its term. 25 (He is) the Knower of the Unseen, and He revealeth unto none His secret, 26 Save unto every messenger whom He hath chosen, and then He maketh a guard to go before him and a guard behind 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
