Intercession in Quran:
Anyone knows the meaning of intercession ?
Allah - there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of [all] existence. Neither drowsiness overtakes Him nor sleep. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who is it that can intercede with Him except by His permission? He knows what is [presently] before them and what will be after them, and they encompass not a thing of His knowledge except for what He wills. His Kursi extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation tires Him not. And He is the Most High, the Most Great [2:255]
Notice the word "except" in the above mentioned verse. This verse does not condemn the presence of an intercessor; they just put a condition for the fact of intercession.
That Day, no intercession will benefit except one to whom the Most Merciful has given permission and has accepted his word [20:109]
And intercession does not benefit with Him except for one whom He permits. [And those wait] until, when terror is removed from their hearts, they will say [to one another], "What has your Lord said?" They will say, "The truth." And He is the Most High, the Grand [34:23]
And how many angels there are in the heavens whose intercession will not avail at all except after Allah has permitted to whom He wills and approves [53:26]
He knows what is before them, and what is behind them, and they cannot intercede except for him with whom He is pleased. And they stand in awe for fear of Him [21:28]
And those whom they invoke instead of Him have no power of intercession; except those who bear witness to the truth and they know [43:86]
And We did not send any messenger except to be obeyed by permission of Allah. And if, when they wronged themselves, they had come to you, [O Muhammad], and asked forgiveness of Allah and the Messenger had asked forgiveness for them, they would have found Allah Accepting of repentance and Merciful [4:64]
أَمْ لِلْإِنسَانِ مَا تَمَنَّى (53:24) | ||
53:24 Does man imagine that it is his due to have all that he might wish for, | ||
فَلِلَّهِ الْآخِرَةُ وَالْأُولَى (53:25) 53:25 despite the fact that [both] the life to come and this present [one] belong to God [alone]? You have to read both verses together to get the right context. 53:24 ends on "Matammani" for humans, i.e. the wishes of the men, 53:25 despite the fact that both the lives belong to God alone? Like the particle "Ma" in 53:24 for the wishes of the men, the particle "Fa" is used in 53:25 denoting the context that God is Omnipotent and Omniscient and does not, therefore, require any "mediator" between Himself and His creatures.

So baat kee aik baat meray Mohtaram Ahl-e-Kalma Bhaiyoun. Ab sab say Guzarish hay Kay Muslim Jamaat Ban Kay Rahein Na Kay Firqay. Ye waseelay ka masla aisa hay kay mujhay maannay waloun kee bhi logic or references samjh mein aatay hein aur na mannay waloun kay bhi.
Is silsilay mein mein aap sab logoun ko kahoun ga kay aik ummat ho kay rahein aur kaafir mushrik kehnay say ijtenaab karein.
Aur haan aik aur baat - Moulana Ishaq ko sunein - Youtube par un kay kaafi lectures hein. He is from Faisalabad and very close to the Ahl-e-Hadith Maslak. But this person even goes to Shia Mosque for lectures and his mosque in Faisalabad has people from all sunni maktaba fikar i.e. barelvi, deobandi and ahl-e-hadith. Even Shia come to his mosque. He is a person who has read the books of all people of all maktaba fikar and now promotes Ittehad Bayn-ul-Muslimeen. Aap loug bhi un ko sunein aur kuch sabaq haasil karein.
May Allah give long life to Moulana Sahab!
Jazak Allah - My Muslim Brothers In Faith!!!!!
I think you are getting a bit emotional here and also twisting my words.
Copy pasting various links without even understanding and knowing their beliefs could also mean that you might be belonging to another set of belief cult.
Besides I quoted the example of Algerians and Moroccans most of whom had adopted Christianity before accepting Islam. Same is the case with the Central Asians who were mainly Zorostrians before accepting Islam and mind you Zorostrians till this day don't practise idol worship.
Anyways, I wish you would've read my post in a conscious state instead of reading it while in a shocked state and you could have read the last paragraph.
As you quoted a few websites which are administered by people belonging to various set of beliefs so it will be sensible for us to discuss it in detail by mentioning your school of thought so that I can deal with you accordingly.
The reason is that I would like to know if Im allowed to quote Hadees or not.
I am disappointed brother. Quoting the Holy Quran out of context is not a good practice. You tried to prove from the verse of the Holy Quran that somehow the intercession in this world is allowed in the Holy Quran.
You should have quoted the previous verses in each instance to complete the context in which the intercession is described.
2:254 O YOU who have attained to faith! Spend [in Our way] out of what We have granted you as sustenance ere there come a Day when there will be no bargaining, and no friendship, and no intercession. And they who deny the truth -it is they who are evildoers!
The above verse 2:254 is describing the day of the judgement. Not the life on this earth. 2:255 is continuation of this theme. On the Day of the Judgement, Allah SWT would grant the intercession to whomever He so will.
In the same context one should also read the following verses, for example 2:257
2:257 God is near unto those who have faith, taking them out of deep darkness into the light - whereas near unto those who are bent on denying the truth are the powers of evil that take them out of the light into darkness deep: it is they who are destined for the fire, therein to abide.
It is only Allah SWT takes one out of the darkness into the light, no one else.
Have fear of Allah SWT in your hearts, Amen.
20:108 On that Day, all will. follow the summoning Voice from which there will be no escape; and all sounds will be hushed before the Most Gracious, and thou wilt hear nothing but a faint sough in the air.
20:109 On that Day, intercession shall be of no avail [to any] save him in whose case the Most Gracious will have granted leave therefor, and whose word [of faith) He will have accepted:
Once again the verse you quoted is for the Day of the Judgement not for the intercession on this earth.
The next verse you quoted had the following preceding verse;
34:22 SAY: “Call upon those [beings] whom you imagine [to be endowed with divine powers] beside God: they have not an atom’s weight of power either in the heavens or on earth, nor have they any share in [governing] either, nor does He [choose to] have any helper from among them.”
Shouldn't you pay heed to what 34:22 said before moving to 34:23? On what day Allah SWT be asking those who have taken other as deities and persons to call upon on those who they perceived to had been endowed with the divine powers?
You didn't even quoted 34:23 in full ,
34:23And, before Him, intercession can be of no avail [to any] save one in whose case He may have granted leave [there for]: so much so that when the terror [of the Last Hour] is lifted from their hearts, they [who have been resurrected] will ask [one an*other], “What has your Sustainer decreed [for you]?” - [to which] the others will answer, “Whatever is true and deserved - for He alone is exalted, great!”
Once again without shadow of a doubt, the Holy Quran is describing the Day of the Judgement not the time on this earth.
أَمْ لِلْإِنسَانِ مَا تَمَنَّى (53:24) 53:24 Does man imagine that it is his due to have all that he might wish for, فَلِلَّهِ الْآخِرَةُ وَالْأُولَى (53:25)
53:25 despite the fact that [both] the life to come and this present [one] belong to God [alone]?
You have to read both verses together to get the right context. 53:24 ends on "Matammani" for humans, i.e. the wishes of the men, 53:25 despite the fact that both the lives belong to God alone?
Like the particle "Ma" in 53:24 for the wishes of the men, the particle "Fa" is used in 53:25 denoting the context that God is Omnipotent and Omniscient and does not, therefore, require any "mediator" between Himself and His creatures.
21:26 And [yet,] some say, “The Most Gracious has taken unto Himself a son”! Limitless is He in His glory! Nay, [those whom they regard as God’s “offspring” are but His] honoured servants: 21:27 they speak not until He has spoken unto them, and [whenever they act,] they act at His behest.
21:28 is in particular reference to the deities of Isa As and Mariam As according to the Christians, that both of them were speaking with God's permission they were nothing but servants of the Almighty hence their intercessions would be of no avail to anyone in the hereafter.
21:28 He knows all that lies open before them and all that is hidden from them: hence, they cannot intercede for any but those whom He has [already] graced with His goodly acceptance, since they themselves stand in reverent awe of Him.
Please don't quote Holy Quran out of context.
43:85 And hallowed be He unto whom the dominion over the heavens and the earth and all that is between them belongs, and with whom the knowledge of the Last Hour rests, and unto whom you all shall be brought back!
43:86And those [beings] whom some invoke beside God have it not in their power to intercede [on Judgment Day] for any but such as have [in their lifetime] borne witness to the truth, and have been aware [that God is one and unique].
Each and every instance you quoted out of context is for the day of the Judgement.
I have already quoted the verse of the Holy Quran earlier describing the dialouge between Allah SWT and Prophet Isa As on the Day of the Judgement, he As would be answering to God that he had no right to say, what is only the Domain of God. Had he As said it, Allah SWT with His infinite wisdom and knowledge would have known it.
Let's look at the concept of "intercession" in the Holy Quran.
10:3 VERILY, your Sustainer is God, who has created the heavens and the earth in six aeons, and is established on the throne of His almightiness, governing all that exists. There is none that could intercede with Him unless He grants leave therefor. Thus is God, your Sustainer: worship, therefore, Him [alone]: will you not, then, keep this in mind?
"There is no intercessor whatever, save after His leave [has been granted]". 2:255 - "Who is there that could intercede with Him, unless it be by His leave?" Thus, the Quran rejects the popular belief in unqualified "intercession" by living or dead saints or prophets. As is shown elsewhere in the Quran (e.g., in 20:109, 21:28 or 34:23), God will grant to His prophets on Judgment Day the permission to "intercede", symbolically, for such of the sinners as will have already achieved His redemptive acceptance (rida') by virtue of their repentance or basic goodness.
19:87 [on that Day] none will have [the benefit of] intercession unless he has [in his lifetime] entered into a bond with the Most Gracious.
Lit., "except him who has.. .", etc. According to the classical commentators -including some of the most outstanding Companions of the Prophet-the "bond with God" denotes, in this context, the realization of His oneness and uniqueness; Consequently it is pointed out by Razi, even great sinners may hope for God's forgiveness - symbolically expressed by the right of "intercession" which will be granted to the prophets on Judgment Day provided that, during their life on earth, they were aware of God's existence and oneness.
In other words, the right of "intercession" thus granted to the prophets will be but an expression of God's approval of the latter. Furthermore, the above denial of the possibility of unqualified intercession stresses, indirectly, not only God's omniscience - which requires no "mediator" - but also the immutability of His will: and thus it connects with the preceding mention of His Almightiness.
on the other hand I think you are still doing 'aain baain shaain' and delibertly trying to ignore the arguments (either given by me or in articles) because they challenge your life long beliefs but this is nothing new, part of nature of man and only few can overcome the ego to accept that they have been wrong all along, hence the diverting tactics people use.
What part I don't understand of the articles I quoted please help me :). It's not important for me to know what beliefs the owner of websites carry but there is nothing wrong in what has been said in the linked articles. If there is any then point out instead of doing aain baain shaain (easy copt out).
You don't get the point of quoting idol worshipper as example and one of the source inspiring intercession in muslims. For an argument sake let's assume there was no idol worshipping in algerians before they became christians. But do you really think christianity has no form of intercession? Do you even know what are there beliefs? Jesus son of God, rings any bell? Don't they believe that Jesus came to clear the sins of mankind (implying that God himself was not willing to forgive the sins)....what will you call it if not intercession? Same goes for Zorostrians who use fire and water medium to gain spirtual insight and wisdom...what is it if not idol worshiping? Can you list any other religion which has not associated/used some sort of 'means/intercession' to connect to God? Why would Allah repeatedly warn and forbid us from intercession and gave us examples of past religions/idol worshippers who were indulge in intercessions? If it was such a simple and easy way for muslism then Allah would have made it clear in Quran isn't it? there was no need to forbid it at all! PONDER!
not again this aaaiin baain shaain...
Actually this is the way mullahs have teach the sheeps to focus on asusmptions and blaming others , indulging in firqa parasti, so that they can rule over the gullible lots. When the arguments are clear cuts and when you don't have answers to them you start looking for excuses, start looking for firqa relevant things so that you can easily cop out by labeling others of some imaginative firqa/groups. It's clear that you can'T debate on the merit of contents hence all this 'aain baain shaain'.
You are welcome to quote hadith although for the topic in hand when Qurnaic verses are clear and you can't argu against them then there is no need left for hadith. Again it's your diverting tactics and now want to hide behind hadith hoping that the other party in debate might as well over rule the Quranic verse in favor of hadith. This doesn't work my friend because the no hadith can over rule or contradict Quran and if it does then you and me knows it is not a true hadith :)
Kindly drink some cold water. Calm down.
Even if you add a hundred verses before and after the verses which were quoted by me the end result will be the same. There is no God except Allah; there is no intercession except whom He wills.
The rules of the game will remain the same for both the periods whether before the judgement day or on the judgement day. No Allah is not separate for the days before the judgement day and the judgement day. Islam remains the same; the Creator will be the same; his rules will remain the same.
:lol: Nothing better expected from you. Now go invoke your intercessor and ask him for help to counter the arguments. ;)
I am disappointed to say the least, I am Muslim and know there is no other God but Allah SWT. You don't need to remind me that. The preceding verses are important in every case if the subject matters continues to the next verse. Quoting what one's like is a bad practice, every Muslim should avoid such bad practices, to misquote or misrepresent the Holy Quran.
The concept of "Shafa't" in the Holy Quran is only mentioned in the context of "the Day of the Judgement", that also for the Messengers of Allah SWT and only "Symbolically". But never in the context of the life on this earth. Why you didn't present the verses in support of what you are trying to wrongly imply from the Holy Quran?
There is no verse in the Holy Quran which indicates that you should pray for your needs through another human rather than direct from your and my Creator, period.
Are you done with it ?
I was always done, it is your life, your choices. It would be you who would be facing your Maker on the Day of the Judgement.
In the meanwhile keep worshiping the creations rather than the Creator, who am I to stop you?
In the meanwhile please always remember, the Verses of the Quran you mentioned, even if you want to follow your own distorted meanings always mentioned, except those who have been given the permission to intercede.
And who would give the Permission? Only Allah SWT.
And who you follow? Humans. Those who claim to be near or in many cases to have "direct line " to Allah SWT.
Do you have any proofs of their claims?
Did you converse with Allah SWT to know the identity of those who would be given the permission to intercede.
That's why intercession is not permissible under any circumstances in this world. It is not mentioned int the Quran in that context, because to mention such would leave the humanity vulnerable to any one's claims.
Such scenario is beyond the Wisdom of Allah SWT. Also remember the Holy Quran is free of any conflicts or errors, its main theme is "Uniqueness" and "Oneness" of Allah SWT as the Creator and Controller of the Universe, He doesn't share His Powers with anyone, not even with the Prophets.
I do commend you for trying your best to curtail the powers of Allah as per the finite imagination of your mind except that His powers are infinite and beyond your imagination.
