A ---Allah Mwenye Enzi Kuu ametaja Uombezi katika sehemu nyingi katika Qur'ani yake Tukufu. Ametaja ndani yake masharti makali, na kwamba ni mamlaka ambayo si ya yeyote isipokuwa Allah. Anasema: {Sema: Uombezi wote ni wa Allah}. (Az-Zumar, 44)

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)

Lini itakuwa?

When will it be?

Mwenyezi Mungu Mtukufu ametuambia kwamba hilo halitatokea isipokuwa kwa Idhini yake Mwenyewe na Ruhusa Yake: {Ni nani yule awezaye kuombea mbele Yake isipokuwa kwa Idhini Yake?} (Al-Baqarah, 255)

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 Mtukufu anasema: {Hakuna mwombezi (anayeweza kumsihi Yeye)

Allah the Almighty says: {No intercessor (can plead with Him)

isipokuwa baada ya ruhusa Yake}. (Yunus, 3)

except after His Leave}. (Yunus, 3)

Allah Mtukufu asema: {Na malaika wengi walioko mbinguni, shufaa yao haitafaa chochote isipokuwa baada ya Allah kuwaruhusu kwa amtakaye na kumridhia}. (An-Najm, 26)

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 Mtukufu anasema: {Hakuna shufaa'a mbele yake isipokuwa kwa yule ambaye Yeye amemruhusu}. (Saba', 23)

Allah the Almighty says: {Intercession with Him profits not except for him whom He permits}. (Saba', 23)

Allah anakubali shufaa kutoka kwa nani?

From whom does Allah accept Intercession?

Mwenyezi Mungu Mtukufu ametujulisha kwamba hakuna mtu atakayeweza kufaidika nayo isipokuwa kwa Idhini yake na Ruhusa yake. Pia ametujulisha kwamba ni wacha Mungu na waja wake wema pekee ndio watakaofaidika nayo. Anasema: {Hawatasema isipokuwa yule ambaye Mwingi wa Rehema (Allah) atamruhusu, na atasema lililo sawa}. (An-Naba', 38)

Allah the Almighty informed us that it will not be enjoyed by anyone but by His Leave and Permission. He also informed us that only His pious and godly worshippers are the ones to enjoy it. He says: {They will not speak except him whom the Most Gracious (Allah) allows, and he will speak what is right}. (An-Naba',38)

Allah Mtukufu anasema: {Hawatakuwa na uwezo wa kuombea, isipokuwa yule aliyepewa idhini (au ahadi) na Mwingi wa Rehema (Allah)}. (Maryam, 87)

Allah the Almighty says: {None shall have the power of intercession, but such a one as has received permission (or promise) from the Most Gracious (Allah)}. (Maryam,87)

Kwa nani Mwenyezi Mungu anaruhusu Shafaa'a?

For whom does Allah grant Intercession?

Allah ametujulisha kwamba haitatolewa isipokuwa kwa yule ambaye Yeye amemridhia. Anasema: {Wala hawawezi kuombea isipokuwa kwa yule ambaye Yeye amemridhia}. (Al-Anbiya', 28)

Allah informed us that it will not be granted but for whom He is pleased with. He says: {And they cannot intercede except for him with whom He is pleased}. (Al-Anbiya', 28)

Allah Mtukufu asema: {Siku hiyo hakuna maombezi yatakayofaa, isipokuwa yule ambaye Mwingi wa Rehema (Allah) amempa idhini na ambaye neno lake linakubalika kwake}. (Ta-Ha, 109)

Allah the Almighty says: {On that day no intercession shall avail, except the one for whom the Most Gracious (Allah) has given permission and whose word is acceptable to Him}. (Ta-Ha, 109)

Allah Mtukufu hakubali wala hafurahii isipokuwa watu wa Tauhidi ya kweli na safi, pamoja na uaminifu. Kuhusu wengine, Allah anasema:

Almighty Allah does not accept or be pleased with other than the people of true and pure Monotheism and loyalty. As for the others, Allah says:

{Wala hatakuwa na rafiki wala mwombezi kwa Dhalimuun (washirikina na wakosaji), ambaye angesikilizwa}.

{There will be no friend, nor an intercessor for the Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-doers), who could be given heed to}.

(Ghafir, 18)

(Ghafir, 18)

Allah Mtukufu anasema: {Basi hatuna wa kutuombea, wala rafiki mwenye kujali}. (Ash-Shu'ara', 100, 101)

Allah the Almighty says: {Now we have no intercessors, nor a close friend (to help us)}. (AshShu' ara', 100, 101)

Allah Mtukufu asema: {Basi shufaa ya washufaa'i haitawafaa chochote}. (Al-Muddaththir, 48)

Allah the Almighty says: {So no intercession of intercessors will be of any use to them}. (Al-Muddaththir, 48)

Yeye ﷺ alituambia kwamba amepewa uombezi (shafaa'a). Atasema: "Watakuja kwangu, nami nitamwomba Mola wangu ruhusa, nami nitaruhusiwa (kujitokeza) mbele yake. Nitakapomwona Mola wangu, nitaanguka chini kwa sujuda mbele yake, naye ataniacha (katika sujuda) kwa muda apendao, kisha nitaambiwa: 'Ee Muhammad! Inua kichwa chako na useme, kwani utasikilizwa; na omba, kwani utapewa (ombi lako); na uombe shafaa, kwani shafaa yako itakubaliwa.' Kisha nitainua kichwa changu na kumsifu Mola wangu kwa sifa fulani ambazo amenifundisha, kisha nitaombea shafaa." (Bukhari na Muslim)

He (Peace be upon him) told us that he is granted Intercession: "So they will come to me and I will ask the permission of my Lord, and I will be permitted (to present myself) before Him. When I see my Lord, I will fall down in (prostration) before Him and He will leave me (in prostration) as long as He wishes, and then it will be said to me, 'O Muhammad! Raise your head and speak, for you will be listened to; and ask, for you will be granted (your request); and intercede, for your intercession will be accepted.’ I will then raise my head and praise my Lord with certain praises which He has taught me, and then I will intercede.” (Bukhari and Muslim)

Alituambia (ﷺ) kwamba hatawaombea wale waliomwasi kati ya Waislamu wenye tawhidi kwa jumla! kwa mara moja na kwa daima, lakini alisema: "Allah atanipa ruhusa ya kuombea (kwa kundi fulani la watu) na atapanga kikomo cha nani nitamwingiza Peponi." Kisha anarudi, anasujudu tena, na anapewa kundi la pili la kuwaingiza Peponi, hadi mwisho wa Hadithi ndefu ya Shafaa (Kuombea) iliyosimuliwa na Abu Hurairah (Allah amridhie) katika Sahih Al-Bukhari na Muslim.

He (Peace be upon him) told us that he will not intercede for the sake of all! the disobedient from among the monotheists once and for all, but he said: "Allah will allow me to intercede (for a certain kind of people) and will fix a limit whom I will admit into Paradise.” Then, he comes back and prostrate himself again and he is given a second group to admit into Paradise, till the end of the lengthy Hadith of the Intercession narrated by Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) on Sahih Al-Bukhari and Muslim.

Imepokewa kutoka kwa Abu Hurairah (Allah amridhie): Nilisema: "Ee Mjumbe wa Allah! Ni nani atakayekuwa mwenye bahati zaidi, atakayepata shufaa yako siku ya Kiyama?" Mjumbe wa Allah ﷺ akasema: Ee Abu Hurairah! "Nimefikiri kwamba hakuna atakayeniuliza kuhusu jambo hilo kabla yako, kwa kuwa ninajua shauku yako ya (kujifunza) Hadithi. Mtu mwenye bahati zaidi atakayepata shufaa yangu siku ya Kiyama ni yule aliyesema kwa dhati kutoka moyoni mwake: 'Hakuna haki ya kuabudiwa isipokuwa Allah.'" (Sahih Bukhari)

Narrated Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him): I said: "O Allah's Messenger! Who will be the luckiest person, who will gain your intercession on the Day of Resurrection?" Allah's Messenger said: 0 Abu Hurairah! "I have thought that none will ask me about it before you as I know your longing for the (learning of) Hadiths. The luckiest person who will have my intercession on the Day of Resurrection will be the one who said sincerely from the bottom of his heart "None has the right to be worshipped but Allah.” (Sahih Bukhari)
