Say (unto them, O Muhammad): I pray unto Allah only, and ascribe unto Him no partner. 20 Proclaim (O dear Prophet Mohammed – peace and blessings be upon him), “I am not the master of any harm or benefit for you.” 21 Say thou: verily none can protect me from Allah, nor can I find beside Him any refuge. 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 [Let them, then, wait] until the time when they behold that [doom] of which they were forewarned: for then they will come to understand which [kind of man] is more helpless and counts for less! 24 Say thou: I know not whether that which ye are promised is nigh, or whether my Lord hath appointed for it a distant term. 25 He is the Knower of the Unseen and does not disclose His Unseen to anyone, 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 That he may know that they have conveyed the messages of their Lord; and He has encompassed whatever is with them and has enumerated all things in number. 28
