ادْعُوا رَبَّكُمْ تَضَرُّعًا وَخُفْيَةً ۚ إِنَّهُ لَا يُحِبُّ الْمُعْتَدِينَ ۝ وَلَا تُفْسِدُوا فِي الْأَرْضِ بَعْدَ إِصْلَاحِهَا وَادْعُوهُ خَوْفًا وَطَمَعًا ۚ إِنَّ رَحْمَتَ اللَّهِ قَرِيبٌ مِّنَ الْمُحْسِنِينَ

"Call upon your Lord humbly and privately. Indeed, He does not love the transgressors. And do not cause corruption on the earth after its reformation. And invoke Him in fear and hope. Indeed, the mercy of Allah is near to the doers of good."

اپنے رب سے عاجزی اور خاموشی سے دعا کرو۔ بے شک وہ حد سے نکلنے والوں کو پسند نہیں کرتا۔ اور زمین میں فساد نہ مچاؤ اس کی اصلاح کے بعد، اور اسے خوف اور امید سے پکارو۔ بے شک اللہ کی رحمت نیکی کرنے والوں کے قریب ہے۔

Explanation

The greatest achievement of man is that he should be able to attain God’s mercy. But the grace of God falls to the lot of those who associate themselves with God to such an extent that all their emotions without exception are directed towards Him. They should call out only to Him and behave with humility towards Him alone. They should entertain hopes of receiving things from Him, and fear Him alone lest things be taken away. People who do so seek closeness to God and God awards them a place close to Him.
