The Intercession الشفاعة

  • يَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ اذْكُرُواْ نِعْمَتِيَ الَّتِي أَنْعَمْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَأَنِّي فَضَّلْتُكُمْ عَلَى الْعَالَمِينَ 47
  • وَاتَّقُواْ يَوْمًا لاَّ تَجْزِي نَفْسٌ عَن نَّفْسٍ شَيْئًا وَلاَ يُقْبَلُ مِنْهَا شَفَاعَةٌ وَلاَ يُؤْخَذُ مِنْهَا عَدْلٌ وَلاَ هُمْ يُنصَرُونَ 48

[ البقرة 47 – 48 ] (2)

  1. O Children of Israel! Remember My favor which I bestowed upon you, and that I favored you over all nations.
  2. And beware of a Day when no soul will avail another in the least, nor will any intercession be accepted on its behalf, nor will any ransom be taken from it, nor will they be helped.

2-AlBaqarah

  • اللَّهُ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ لاَ تَأْخُذُهُ سِنَةٌ وَلاَ نَوْمٌ لَّهُ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الأَرْضِ مَن ذَا الَّذِي يَشْفَعُ عِندَهُ إِلاَّ بِإِذْنِهِ يَعْلَمُ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْ وَلاَ يُحِيطُونَ بِشَيْءٍ مِّنْ عِلْمِهِ إِلاَّ بِمَا شَاء وَسِعَ كُرْسِيُّهُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضَ وَلاَ يَؤُودُهُ حِفْظُهُمَا وَهُوَ الْعَلِيُّ الْعَظِيمُ 255

[ البقرة  : 255 ] (2)

  1. God! There is no god except He, the Living, the Everlasting. Neither slumber overtakes Him, nor sleep. To Him belongs everything in the heavens and everything on earth. Who is he that can intercede with Him except with His permission? He knows what is before them, and what is behind them; and they cannot grasp any of His knowledge, except as He wills. His Throne extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation does not burden Him. He is the Most High, the Great.

2-AlBaqarah

  • مَّن يَشْفَعْ شَفَاعَةً حَسَنَةً يَكُن لَّهُ نَصِيبٌ مِّنْهَا وَمَن يَشْفَعْ شَفَاعَةً سَيِّئَةً يَكُن لَّهُ كِفْلٌ مِّنْهَا وَكَانَ اللَّهُ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ مُّقِيتًا 85
  • وَإِذَا حُيِّيتُم بِتَحِيَّةٍ فَحَيُّواْ بِأَحْسَنَ مِنْهَا أَوْ رُدُّوهَا إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ حَسِيبًا 86

[ النساء 85 – 86 ] (4)

  1. Whoever intercedes for a good cause has a share in it, and whoever intercedes for an evil cause shares in its burdens. God keeps watch over everything.
  2. When you are greeted with a greeting, respond with a better greeting, or return it. God keeps count of everything.

4-AnNisa

  • وَأَنذِرْ بِهِ الَّذِينَ يَخَافُونَ أَن يُحْشَرُواْ إِلَى رَبِّهِمْ لَيْسَ لَهُم مِّن دُونِهِ وَلِيٌّ وَلاَ شَفِيعٌ لَّعَلَّهُمْ يَتَّقُونَ 51
  • وَلاَ تَطْرُدِ الَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ رَبَّهُم بِالْغَدَاةِ وَالْعَشِيِّ يُرِيدُونَ وَجْهَهُ مَا عَلَيْكَ مِنْ حِسَابِهِم مِّن شَيْءٍ وَمَا مِنْ حِسَابِكَ عَلَيْهِم مِّن شَيْءٍ فَتَطْرُدَهُمْ فَتَكُونَ مِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ 52

[ الانعام 51 – 52 ] (6)

  1. And warn with it those who fear to be gathered before their Lord—they have no protector or intercessor apart from Him—perhaps they will grow in piety.
  2. And do not drive away those who call upon their Lord, morning and evening, seeking His attention. You are not accountable for them in any way, nor are they accountable for you in any way. If you drive them away, you would be one of the unjust.

6-AlAn’am

  • إِنَّ رَبَّكُمُ اللَّهُ الَّذِي خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضَ فِي سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍ ثُمَّ اسْتَوَى عَلَى الْعَرْشِ يُدَبِّرُ الأَمْرَ مَا مِن شَفِيعٍ إِلاَّ مِن بَعْدِ إِذْنِهِ ذَلِكُمُ اللَّهُ رَبُّكُمْ فَاعْبُدُوهُ أَفَلاَ تَذَكَّرُونَ 3
  • إِلَيْهِ مَرْجِعُكُمْ جَمِيعًا وَعْدَ اللَّهِ حَقًّا إِنَّهُ يَبْدَأُ الْخَلْقَ ثُمَّ يُعِيدُهُ لِيَجْزِيَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ الصَّالِحَاتِ بِالْقِسْطِ وَالَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ لَهُمْ شَرَابٌ مِّنْ حَمِيمٍ وَعَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ بِمَا كَانُواْ يَكْفُرُونَ 4

[ يونس 3 – 4 ] (10)

  1. Your Lord is God, who created the heavens and the earth in six days, then settled over the Throne, governing all things. There is no intercessor except after His permission. Such is God, your Lord—so serve Him. Will you not reflect?
  2. To Him is your return, altogether. The promise of God is true. He originates creation, and then He repeats it, to reward those who believe and do good deeds with equity. As for those who disbelieve, for them is a drink of boiling water, and agonizing torment, on account of their disbelief.

10-Yunus

  • فَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّنِ افْتَرَى عَلَى اللَّهِ كَذِبًا أَوْ كَذَّبَ بِآيَاتِهِ إِنَّهُ لاَ يُفْلِحُ الْمُجْرِمُونَ 17
  • وَيَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ مَا لاَ يَضُرُّهُمْ وَلاَ يَنفَعُهُمْ وَيَقُولُونَ هَؤُلاء شُفَعَاؤُنَا عِندَ اللَّهِ قُلْ أَتُنَبِّئُونَ اللَّهَ بِمَا لاَ يَعْلَمُ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَلاَ فِي الأَرْضِ سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ 18

[ يونس 17 – 18 ] (10)

  1. Who does greater wrong than someone who fabricates lies about God, or denies His revelations? The guilty will never prosper.
  2. And they worship, besides God, what neither harms them nor benefits them. And they say, “These are our intercessors with God.” Say, “Are you informing God about what He does not know in the heavens or on earth?” Glorified be He, High above the associations they make.

10-Yunus

  • وَيَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ الْجِبَالِ فَقُلْ يَنسِفُهَا رَبِّي نَسْفًا 105
  • فَيَذَرُهَا قَاعًا صَفْصَفًا
  • لا تَرَى فِيهَا عِوَجًا وَلا أَمْتًا
  • يَوْمَئِذٍ يَتَّبِعُونَ الدَّاعِيَ لا عِوَجَ لَهُ وَخَشَعَت الأَصْوَاتُ لِلرَّحْمَنِ فَلا تَسْمَعُ إِلاَّ هَمْسًا
  • يَوْمَئِذٍ لّا تَنفَعُ الشَّفَاعَةُ إِلاَّ مَنْ أَذِنَ لَهُ الرَّحْمَنُ وَرَضِيَ لَهُ قَوْلا
  • يَعْلَمُ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْ وَلا يُحِيطُونَ بِهِ عِلْمًا
  • وَعَنَتِ الْوُجُوهُ لِلْحَيِّ الْقَيُّومِ وَقَدْ خَابَ مَنْ حَمَلَ ظُلْمًا
  • وَمَن يَعْمَلْ مِنَ الصَّالِحَاتِ وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ فَلا يَخَافُ ظُلْمًا وَلا هَضْمًا 112

[ طه 105 – 112 ] (20)

  1. And they ask you about the mountains. Say, “My Lord will crumble them utterly.”
  2. And leave them desolate waste.
  3. You will see in them neither crookedness, nor deviation.”
  4. On that Day, they will follow the caller, without any deviation. Voices will be hushed before the Merciful, and you will hear nothing but murmur.
  5. On that Day, intercession will not avail, except for him permitted by the Merciful, and whose words He has approved.
  6. He knows what is before them and what is behind them, and they cannot comprehend Him in their knowledge.
  7. Faces will be humbled before the Living, the Eternal. Whoever carries injustice will despair.
  8. But whoever has done righteous deeds, while being a believer—will fear neither injustice, nor grievance.

20-TaHa

  • وَقَالُوا اتَّخَذَ الرَّحْمَنُ وَلَدًا سُبْحَانَهُ بَلْ عِبَادٌ مُّكْرَمُونَ 26
  • لا يَسْبِقُونَهُ بِالْقَوْلِ وَهُم بِأَمْرِهِ يَعْمَلُونَ
  • يَعْلَمُ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْ وَلا يَشْفَعُونَ إِلاَّ لِمَنِ ارْتَضَى وَهُم مِّنْ خَشْيَتِهِ مُشْفِقُونَ
  • وَمَن يَقُلْ مِنْهُمْ إِنِّي إِلَهٌ مِّن دُونِهِ فَذَلِكَ نَجْزِيهِ جَهَنَّمَ كَذَلِكَ نَجْزِي الظَّالِمِينَ 29

[ الانبياء 26 – 29 ] (21)

  1. And they say, “The Most Merciful has taken to himself a son.” Be He glorified; they are but honored servants.
  2. They never speak before He has spoken, and they only act on His command.
  3. He knows what is before them, and what is behind them; and they do not intercede except for him whom He approves; and they tremble in awe of Him.
  4. And whoever of them says, “I am a god besides Him,” We will reward him with Hell. Thus We reward the wrongdoers.

21-AlAnbiya’

  • قُلِ ادْعُوا الَّذِينَ زَعَمْتُم مِّن دُونِ اللَّهِ لا يَمْلِكُونَ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَلا فِي الأَرْضِ وَمَا لَهُمْ فِيهِمَا مِن شِرْكٍ وَمَا لَهُ مِنْهُم مِّن ظَهِيرٍ 22
  • وَلا تَنفَعُ الشَّفَاعَةُ عِندَهُ إِلاَّ لِمَنْ أَذِنَ لَهُ حَتَّى إِذَا فُزِّعَ عَن قُلُوبِهِمْ قَالُوا مَاذَا قَالَ رَبُّكُمْ قَالُوا الْحَقَّ وَهُوَ الْعَلِيُّ الْكَبِيرُ 23

[ سبأ 22 – 23 ] (34)

  1. Say, “Call upon those whom you claim besides God. They possess not an atom’s weight in the heavens or the earth, and they possess no share of either, and He has no backers from among them.”
  2. Intercession with Him is of no value, except for someone He has permitted. Until, when fear has subsided from their hearts, they will say, “What did your Lord say?” They will say, “The truth, and He is the High, the Great.”

34-Saba’

  • وَمَا لِي لاَ أَعْبُدُ الَّذِي فَطَرَنِي وَإِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ 22
  • أَأَتَّخِذُ مِن دُونِهِ آلِهَةً إِن يُرِدْنِ الرَّحْمَن بِضُرٍّ لاَّ تُغْنِ عَنِّي شَفَاعَتُهُمْ شَيْئًا وَلاَ يُنقِذُونِ 23
  • إِنِّي إِذًا لَّفِي ضَلالٍ مُّبِينٍ 24
  • إِنِّي آمَنتُ بِرَبِّكُمْ فَاسْمَعُونِ 25
  • قِيلَ ادْخُلِ الْجَنَّةَ قَالَ يَا لَيْتَ قَوْمِي يَعْلَمُونَ 26
  • بِمَا غَفَرَ لِي رَبِّي وَجَعَلَنِي مِنَ الْمُكْرَمِينَ 27

[ يس 22 – 27 ] (36)

  1. “And why should I not worship Him Who created me, and to Whom you will be returned?
  2. Shall I take other gods instead of Him? If the Merciful desires harm for me, their intercession will not avail me at all, nor will they save me.
  3. In that case, I would be completely lost.
  4. I have believed in your Lord, so listen to me.”
  5. It was said, “Enter Paradise.” He said, “If only my people knew.
  6. How my Lord has forgiven me, and made me one of the honored.”

36-YaSin

  • أَمِ اتَّخَذُوا مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ شُفَعَاءَ قُلْ أَوَلَوْ كَانُوا لا يَمْلِكُونَ شَيْئًا وَلا يَعْقِلُونَ 43
  • قُل لِّلَّهِ الشَّفَاعَةُ جَمِيعًا لَّهُ مُلْكُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ ثُمَّ إِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ 44

[ الزمر 43 – 44 ] (39)

  1. Or have they chosen intercessors other than God? Say, “Even though they have no power over anything, and are devoid of reason?”
  2. Say, “All intercession is up to God. To Him belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth. Then to Him you will be returned.”

39-AzZumar

  • وَهُوَ الَّذِي فِي السَّمَاء إِلَهٌ وَفِي الأَرْضِ إِلَهٌ وَهُوَ الْحَكِيمُ الْعَلِيمُ 84
  • وَتَبَارَكَ الَّذِي لَهُ مُلْكُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا وَعِندَهُ عِلْمُ السَّاعَةِ وَإِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ
  • وَلا يَمْلِكُ الَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِهِ الشَّفَاعَةَ إِلاَّ مَن شَهِدَ بِالْحَقِّ وَهُمْ يَعْلَمُونَ 86

[ الزخرف 84 – 86 ] (43)

  1. It is He who is God in heaven, and God on earth. He is the Wise, the Knower.
  2. And blessed is He Who has sovereignty over the heavens and the earth and what is between them. He alone has knowledge of the Hour, and to Him you will be returned.
  3. Those they invoke besides Him are incapable of intercession; only those who testify to the truth and have knowledge.

43-AzZukhruf

  • أَمْ لِلإِنسَانِ مَا تَمَنَّى 24
  • فَلِلَّهِ الآخِرَةُ وَالأُولَى 25
  • وَكَم مِّن مَّلَكٍ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ لا تُغْنِي شَفَاعَتُهُمْ شَيْئًا إِلاَّ مِن بَعْدِ أَن يَأْذَنَ اللَّهُ لِمَن يَشَاءُ وَيَرْضَى 26

[ النجم  24 – 26 ] (53)

  1. Or is the human being to have whatever he desires?
  2. To God belong the Last and the First.
  3. How many an angel is there in the heavens whose intercession avails nothing, except after God gives permission to whomever He wills, and approves?

53-AnNajm

  • كُلُّ نَفْسٍ بِمَا كَسَبَتْ رَهِينَةٌ 38
  • إِلاَّ أَصْحَابَ الْيَمِينِ
  • فِي جَنَّاتٍ يَتَسَاءَلُونَ
  • عَنِ الْمُجْرِمِينَ
  • مَا سَلَكَكُمْ فِي سَقَرَ
  • قَالُوا لَمْ نَكُ مِنَ الْمُصَلِّينَ
  • وَلَمْ نَكُ نُطْعِمُ الْمِسْكِينَ
  • وَكُنَّا نَخُوضُ مَعَ الْخَائِضِينَ
  • وَكُنَّا نُكَذِّبُ بِيَوْمِ الدِّينِ
  • حَتَّى أَتَانَا الْيَقِينُ
  • فَمَا تَنفَعُهُمْ شَفَاعَةُ الشَّافِعِينَ 48

  7. Nor did we feed the destitute.
  8. And we used to indulge with those who indulge.
  9. And we used to deny the Day of Judgment.
  10. Until the Inevitable came upon us.”
  11. But the intercession of intercessors will not help them
