Say, "I call only upon my Lord and do not associate anyone else with Him." 20 Say, "Indeed, I do not possess for you [the power of] harm or right direction." 21 Say, "Indeed, there will never protect me from Allah anyone [if I should disobey], nor will I find in other than Him a 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 (They shall not change their ways) until they see that against which they had been warned, and then they will know whose helpers are weaker and whose supporters are fewer in number. 24 Say: “I know not whether what you are promised is near or whether my Lord will prolong its term. 25 The Knower of the unseen! so He does not reveal His secrets to any, 26 Except whom He has approved of messengers, and indeed, He sends before each messenger and behind him observers 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
