KITAB AT TAWHEED - CH No: 17
The Intercession (in Judgement Day)

Allah the Almighty said:
"And warn therewith those who fear that they will be gathered before their Lord, when there will neither be a Protector nor an intercessor for them besides Him, so that they may fear Allah and keep their duty to Him."
(6:51)
Allah the Almighty said:

"Say: To Allah belongs all intercession."
(39:44)
Allah the Almighty said:
"Who is he that can intercede with Him except with His Permission..."
(2:255)

And for this reason the intercession that the Mushrikin believe in is rejected on the Day of
Resurrection, as it is rejected by the Qur'an and as the Prophet (May the peace and blessing of
Allah be upon him) informed us:

1
Sheikh-ul-Islam Ibn Taimiyah, Ahmad bin Abdul-Haleem bin Abdus-Salam -see Fath-ul-Majeed, page 168.

He will come and prostrate to his Lord and praise Him, and he will not begin with
intercession at first. It will be said afterwards: "Raise your head, speak and it will be heard, ask
and you will be given, intercede and intercession will be granted."
Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) asked the Prophet (May the peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) :

"Who will be the happiest of people with your intercession?" He (the Prophet P.B.U.H) said,
"Whoever said La ilaha illa Allah sincerely with pure intention from his heart."
So this intercession is for those people with pure intent, if Allah so wills, and it will not be for
those who commit Shirk.
The essence of the matter is that it is Allah, Who is above all imperfections, Who favours the
people sincere in their worship and forgives them through the medium of the invocation of
whoever He has given permission to intercede as an honour to him and to confer upon him the
Highest Place (Al-Maqam-al-Mahmud).
The intercession which is rejected and denied in the Qur'an is that which involves Shirk, and this is why intercession is confirmed and affirmed by the permission of Allah in many places. The Prophet (May the peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) made it clear that this intercession
will not be for other than the people of Tawhid (Islamic Monotheism) and Ikhlas (sincerity in the religion of Islam).
