Deliver me from God

I receive from God
And His Messages:
For any that disobey God
And His Apostle,—for them
Is Hell: they shall dwell
Therein for ever."
24. Hatta itha raaw ma yooAAadoona fasayaAAlamoona man adAAafu nasiran waaqallu AAadadan

See (with their own eyes)
That which they are promised,—
Then will they know
Who it is that is
Weakest in (his) helper
And least important
In point of numbers.
25. Qul in adree aqareebun ma tooAAadoona am yajAAalu lahu rabbee amadan

The (Punishment) which ye
Are promised is near,

Will appoint for it
A distant term.

Nor does He make any one
Acquainted with his Mysteries,—

Whom He has chosen:
And then He makes
A band of watchers
March before him
And behind him,

28. "That he may know
That they have (truly)
Brought and delivered
The Messages of their Lord:
And He surrounds
(All the mysteries) that are
With them, and takes account
Of every single thing."
