22. Say: No one can ever protect me from Allah [20], nor can I find any refuge besides Him.

[20] That is, the extent of my authority and control is such that causing you benefit or harm is out of the question; I do not even have control over my own benefit or harm. Suppose I fall short in the duty Allah has assigned to me, then I too can be seized by Allah; I do not have the power to save myself from Allah’s grasp, nor can I escape somewhere to save myself from His grasp.
