Say: "I invoke my Sustainer alone, for I do not ascribe divinity to anyone beside Him." 20 Say thou: verily I own not for you power of hurt nor of benefit 21 Say, "Surely no one can protect me against God, nor can I find besides Him any place of refuge. 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 that which they are promised, then they will 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 The Knower of the unseen! so He does not reveal His secrets to any, 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 That he may know that they have conveyed the messages of their Lord; and He has encompassed whatever is with them and has enumerated all things in number. 28
