Say: 'I supplicate only to my Lord and I do not associate any with Him' 20 Say: "Neither is your loss within my power nor bringing you to guidance." 21 Say: 'From God shall protect me not anyone, and I shall find, apart from Him, no refuge, 22 (It is) only a delivering (of communications) from Allah and His messages; and whoever disobeys Allah and His Apostle surely he shall have the fire of hell to abide therein for a long time. 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 (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 alone has knowledge of what is hidden. He reveals this to none, 26 He causes angelic guards to march before and after him. 27 [He (Allah) protects them (the Messengers)], till He sees that they (the Messengers) have conveyed the Messages of their Lord (Allah). And He (Allah) surrounds all that which is with them, and He (Allah) keeps count of all things (i.e. He knows the exact number of everything). 28
