Q 134: What is the textual proof of Shafa 'ah Intercession? Who will practice it? For the sake of whom? When?
A ---Allah the Almighty mentioned the Intercession in numerous locations in His Glorious Qur'an. He mentioned thereof serious conditions and that it is a dominion that belongs to none but Allah. He says: {Say: To Allah belongs all intercession}. (Az-Zumar, 44)
When will it be?
Allah the Almighty told us that it will not be other than with His Own Leave and Permission: {Who is he that can intercede with Him except with His Permission?}. (Al-Baqarah, 255)
Allah the Almighty says: {No intercessor (can plead with Him)
except after His Leave}. (Yunus, 3)
Allah the Almighty says: {And there are many angels in the heavens, whose intercession will avail nothing except after Allah has given leave for whom He wills and is pleased with}. (An-Najm, 26)
Allah the Almighty says: {Intercession with Him profits not except for him whom He permits}. (Saba', 23)
From whom does Allah accept Intercession?
