قُلْ لَٓا اَمْلِكُ لِنَفْس۪ي نَفْعًا وَلَا ضَرًّا اِلَّا مَا شَٓاءَ اللّٰهُۜ وَلَوْ كُنْتُ اَعْلَمُ الْغَيْبَ لَاسْتَكْثَرْتُ مِنَ الْخَيْرِۚ وَمَا مَسَّنِيَ السُّٓوءُ اِنْ اَنَا۬ اِلَّا نَذ۪يرٌ وَبَش۪يرٌ لِقَوْمٍ يُؤْمِنُونَ۟ ١٨٨

English Translation
188Say: —Unless Allah wills, I have no power to bring benefit to myself or to ward off a calamity that befalls me. Had I known, I would have secured for myself all that is good, and no hardship would ever have touched me. But I am only a warner and a bearer of good news for a people who wish to believe.
