(Muhammad), say, "I worship only my Lord and do not consider anyone equal to Him". 20 Say, "I do not possess any power to harm or benefit you". 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 They shall go on denying until they; behold that which they are promised wherefore then they shall know who were weaker in protectors and fewer in number. 24 Say: "I do not know if what is promised you is near, or if my Lord prolongs its term. 25 [He is] Knower of the unseen, and He does not disclose His [knowledge of the] unseen to anyone 26 "Except a messenger whom He has chosen: and then He makes a band of watchers march before him and 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
