(Muhammad), say, "I worship only my Lord and do not consider anyone equal to Him". 20 Say: “Surely neither it is in my power to hurt you nor to bring you to the Right Way.” 21 Say: “None can protect me from Allah, nor can I find a refuge apart from Him. 22 (Mine is) but conveyance (of the Truth) from Allah, and His messages; and whoso disobeyeth Allah and His messenger, lo! his is fire of hell, wherein such dwell for ever. 23 When they are confronted by what they have been promised, they will realize who is weaker in helpers and fewer in numbers. 24 Say, "I do not know if what you are promised is near or if my Lord will grant for it a [long] period." 25 The All Knowing of all the hidden does not give anyone the control over His secrets. 26 Other than an apostle He has chosen, when He makes a sentinel walk in front of him and a sentinel behind, 27 so as to make manifest that it is indeed [but] their Sustainer's messages that these [apostles] deliver: for it is He who encompasses [with His knowledge] all that they have [to say,] just as He takes count, one by one, of everything [that exists]. 28
