Surah Al-Isra

أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ يَبْتَغُونَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِمُ ٱلْوَسِيلَةَ أَيُّهُمْ أَقْرَبُ وَيَرْجُونَ رَحْمَتَهُۥ وَيَخَافُونَ عَذَابَهُۥٓ ۚ إِنَّ عَذَابَ رَبِّكَ كَانَ مَحْذُورًا

Ulā'ikal-lażīna yad‘ūna yabtagūna ilā rabbihimul-wasīlata ayyuhum aqrabu wa yarjūna raḥmatahū wa yakhāfūna ‘ażābah(ū), inna ‘ażāba rabbika kāna maḥżūrā(n).
