Say thou: I simply call upon Allah, and I associate not with Him any-one. 20 Say, "Indeed, I do not possess for you [the power of] harm or right direction." 21 Say: 'None shall protect me from Allah, and other than Him, I will find no 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 they see what they are promised, when they will understand who is weaker in aid and poorer in numbers. 24 Say: 'I do not know whether that which you are promised is near, or whether my Lord will set for it a time. 25 He is the knower of the Unknown, and He does not divulge His secret to any one 26 Except to him whom He chooses as an apostle; for surely He makes a guard to march before him and after him, 27 so that He may know that they have delivered the messages of their Lord. He encompasses in His knowledge their surroundings and keeps a count of all things.” 28
