Say thou: I simply call upon Allah, and I associate not with Him any-one. 20 Say: 'Surely I possess no power over you, either for hurt or for rectitude.' 21 Say, “No one will ever save me from Allah, and other than Him, I will not find any refuge.” 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 When they see that which they were promised they shall know who is weaker in helpers and fewer in numbers. 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 (alone) knows the Unseen, nor does He make any one acquainted with His Mysteries,- 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 preached the message of their Lord. And He comprehendeth whatever is with them, and He keepeth count of everything numbered. 28
