Say thou: I simply call upon Allah, and I associate not with Him any-one. 20 Say: "It is not in my power to cause you harm, or to bring you to the Right Path." 21 Say (O Muhammad SAW): "None can protect me from Allah's punishment (if I were to disobey Him), nor should I find refuge except in Him. 22 excepting a Deliverance from God and His Messages. And whoso rebels against God and His messenger, for him there awaits the Fire of Gehenna; therein they shall dwell forever.' 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 (O Muhammad SAW): "I know not whether (the punishment) which you are promised is near or whether my Lord will appoint for it a distant term. 25 (He is) the Knower of the Unseen, and He revealeth unto none His secret, 26 Save unto every messenger whom He hath chosen, and then He maketh a guard to go before him and a guard behind 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
