اُو𐻾لٰٓئِكَ الَّذٖینَ یَدْعُونَ یَبْتَغُونَ اِلٰى رَبِّهِمُ الْوَسٖیلَةَ اَیُّهُمْ اَقْرَبُ وَیَرْجُونَ رَحْمَتَهُ وَیَخَافُونَ عَذَابَهُؕ اِنَّ عَذَابَ رَبِّكَ كَانَ مَحْذُورًا

Olaika allatheena yadAAoona yabtaghoona ila rabbihimu alwaseelata ayyuhum aqrabu wayarjoona rahmatahu wayakhafoona AAathabahu inna AAathaba rabbika kana mahthooran

Translations

Those whom they invoke seek means of access to their Lord, [striving as to] which of them would be nearest, and they hope for His mercy and fear His punishment. Indeed, the punishment of your Lord is ever feared

Saheeh International

Those unto whom they cry seek the way of approach to their Lord, which of them shall be the nearest; they hope for His mercy and they fear His doom. Lo! the doom of thy Lord is to be shunned
