Say: 'I supplicate only to my Lord and I do not associate any with Him' 20 Say: Lo! I control not hurt nor benefit for you. 21 Say: 'From God shall protect me not anyone, and I shall find, apart from Him, no refuge, 22 Mine is but the publishing from Allah and His messages; and whosoever disobeyeth Allah and His apostle, his portion verily is the Hell-Fire as abiders therein for evermore. 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 do not know whether that which you are promised is near, or whether my Lord will set for it a time. 25 [He is] Knower of the unseen, and He does not disclose His [knowledge of the] unseen to anyone 26 unless it be to an apostle whom He has been pleased to elect [there for]: and then He sends forth [the forces of heaven] to watch over him in whatever lies open before him and in what is beyond his ken 27 That He may know that they have indeed conveyed the messages of their Lord. He surroundeth all their doings, and He keepeth count of all things. 28
