The Children of Israel
IN THE NAME OF GOD, THE MOST GRACIOUS, THE DISPENSER OF GRACE
[17:57]
Those [saintly beings] whom they invoke are themselves striving to obtain their Sustainer’s favour – [even] those among them who are closest [to Him] – hoping for His grace and dreading His chastisement: for, verily, thy Sustainer’s chastisement is something to beware of!


* v.57 : I.e., the greatest of the prophets, as well as the angels.
