Say: I only call upon my Lord, and I do not associate any one with Him. 20 Say thou: verily I own not for you power of hurt nor of benefit 21 Say thou: verily none can protect me from Allah, nor can I find beside Him any refuge. 22 My duty is only to convey that which I receive from Him and His messages." For those who disobey God and His Messenger there is the fire of hell, wherein they will abide forever. 23 Till, when they see that which they are promised, then they will know who it is that is weaker concerning helpers and less important concerning numbers. 24 Say: I do not know whether that with which you are threatened be nigh or whether my Lord will appoint for it a term: 25 The All Knowing of all the hidden does not give anyone the control over His secrets. 26 Except to him whom He chooses as an apostle; for surely He makes a guard to march before him 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
