Say: "I call on my Lord alone and I do not associate any one with Him." 20 Say, "I do not possess any power to harm or benefit you". 21 Say thou: verily none can protect me from Allah, nor can I find beside Him any refuge. 22 My only (means of protection) is to convey the message of God. Whoever disobeys God and His Messenger will go to hell, wherein he will live forever". 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 (Muhammad), say, "I do not know whether that with which you have been threatened is close by or whether my Lord will prolong the time of its coming. 25 He alone has knowledge of what is hidden. He reveals this to none, 26 Except whom He has approved of messengers, and indeed, He sends before each messenger and behind him observers 27 so that He may know that the messengers have delivered the messages of their Lord. He encompasses all that is with them and He keeps count of all things. 28
