surah Baqarah aya 186 , English translation of the meaning Ayah.
﴿وَإِذَا سَأَلَكَ عِبَادِي عَنِّي فَإِنِّي قَرِيبٌ ۖ أُجِيبُ دَعْوَةَ الدَّاعِ إِذَا دَعَانِ ۖ فَلْيَسْتَجِيبُوا لِي وَلْيُؤْمِنُوا بِي لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْشُدُونَ﴾
[ البقرة: 186]
2:186 And when My servants ask you, [O Muhammad], concerning Me - indeed I am near. I respond to the invocation of the supplicant when he calls upon Me. So let them respond to Me [by obedience] and believe in Me that they may be [rightly] guided.
Tafsir Ibn Katheer in EnglishIf they ask you, O Prophet, about how close Allah is and about His answering of prayers, Allah is close to them and knows everything about them.
He hears their prayer, and they do not need intermediaries or to raise their voices.
Allah responds to the call of whoever calls Him sincerely, praying to Him; so, let them be devoted to Him and His sacred law, firm in their faith, as that is the best route to Allah’s response – perhaps in that way they might be rightly guided in worldly and sacred matters.
Muhammad Taqiud-Din alHilali
And when My slaves ask you (O Muhammad SAW) concerning Me, then (answer them), I am indeed near (to them by My Knowledge). I respond to the invocations of the supplicant when he calls on Me (without any mediator or intercessor). So let them obey Me and believe in Me, so that they may be led aright.

2:186 And when My servants ask you, [O Muhammad], concerning Me - indeed translate in arabic
وإذا سألك عبادي عني فإني قريب أجيب دعوة الداع إذا دعان فليستجيبوا لي وليؤمنوا بي لعلهم يرشدون
سورة: البقرة - آية: ( 186 ) - جزء: ( 2 ) - صفحة: ( 28 )Almuntakhab Fi Tafsir Alquran Alkarim
Should My servants call upon you, O Muhammad, for informing them about My attributes, then emphatically express that I am in their immediate proximity; I respond favourably to the humble petitioner’s prayer when he addresses Me. But those who aim for My blessings are expected to raise their internal consciousness, responding favourably to My system of faith and worship and believe in Me with faithful hearts, that they may hopefully be guided to the path of righteousness
Tafseer Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
(2:186) And if My servants ask you, O Prophet. concerning Me, tell them that I am quite near to them. I hear and answer the prayer of the suppliant, when he calls to Me. So let them respond to My call and believe in Me. *188 Convey this to them, O Prophet; perhaps they may be guided aright. *189
And when My servants ask you, [O Muhammad], concerning Me - indeed meaning
*188). Even though people can neither see God nor subject Him to any other form of sense perception this should not make them feel that God is remote from them. On the contrany, He is so close to each and every person that whenever any person so wishes he can communicate with his Lord. So much so that God hears and responds even to the prayers which remain within the innermost recesses of the heart.
People exhaust themselves by approaching false and powerless beings whom they foolishly fancy to be their deities but who have neither the power to hear nor to grant their prayers. But God, the omnipotent Lord and the absolute Master of this vast universe, Who wields all power and authority, is so close to human beings that they can alway's approach Him without the intercession of any intermediaries, and can put to Him ther prayers and requests.
*189). This announcement of God's closeness to man may open his eyes to the Truth, may turn him to the right way wherein lies his success and well-being.
And when My servants ask you, [O Muhammad], concerning Me - indeed meaning in Urdu
اور اے نبیؐ، میرے بندے اگر تم سے میرے متعلق پوچھیں، تو اُنہیں بتا دو کہ میں ان سے قریب ہی ہوں پکارنے والا جب مجھے پکارتا ہے، میں اُس کی پکار سنتا اور جواب دیتا ہوں لہٰذا انہیں چاہیے کہ میری دعوت پر لبیک کہیں اور مجھ پر ایمان لائیں یہ بات تم اُنہیں سنا دو، شاید کہ وہ راہ راست پالیں
