30:13 - No intercessor will they have among their "Partners" and they will (themselves) reject their
"Partners." 3519
3519 False worship will then appear in its true colors. Anything to which we offered the worship due to Allah alone, will
vanish instead of being of any help. Indeed the deluded false worshipers, whose eyes will now be opened, will
themselves reject their falsehoods, as the Truth will now shine with unquestioned splendor. (30.13)
39:44 - Say: "To Allah belongs exclusively (the right to grant) Intercession: to Him belongs the
dominion of the heavens and the earth: in the End it is to Him that ye shall be brought back."

4311 For Shafa'at (Intercession, Advocacy) see ii. 255; x. 3; xx. 109, n. 2634; and xxi. 28, n. 2688. It follows that no one can
intercede with Allah, except (1) by Allah's permission, and (2) for those who have prepared themselves by penitence
for Allah's acceptance. Even in earthly Courts, Advocacy is not permitted to any one; the Advocate must be granted
the position of Advocate before he can plead before the judge. Nor can it be supposed that a plea for forgiveness or
mercy can be put forward except on grounds recognised by equity and justice. (39.44)
4312 At all times, including our present life, all dominion belongs to Allah. At the End of the present plane of existence, we
shall be placed before Allah for Judgment. Cf. x. 4. (39.44)
40:18 - Warn them of the Day that is (ever) drawing near when the Hearts will (come) right up to the
Throats to choke (them); no intimate friend nor intercessor will the wrongdoers have who could
be listened to. 43814382
4381 Hearts will come right up to the Throats to choke them: an idiom implying that the whole of their life-functions will be
choked up with terror. But a more subtle meaning emerges from further analysis. The heart (or the breast) is the seat
of affection, emotion, and every kind of feeling, such as terror, pain, despair, etc. These things will as it were overflow
right up to the throat and choke it. The throat is the vehicle for the voice; their voice will be choked, and they will be
able to say nothing. The throat is the channel for food, which goes to the stomach and maintains a healthy functioning
of life; the choking means that the healthy functioning will stop, and there will be nothing but woe. (40.18)
4382 In that enforcement of personal responsibility, what sympathy or intercession can the wrong-doers get? (40.18)
43:86 - And those whom they invoke besides Allah have no power of intercession; only he who
bears witness to the Truth and they know (him). 4683
4683 While idols and false gods have no power of intercession, persons like Jesus, who is falsely worshipped by his
misguided followers, but who himself preached the Gospel of Unity with full understanding will have the power of
intercession. (43.86)
53:26 - How many so ever be the angels in the heavens their intercession will avail nothing except
after Allah has given leave for whom He pleases and that he is acceptable to Him. 51005101
5100 We are apt to imagine the angelic host of heaven as beings of immense power. But their power is all derived from
Allah. Men, when they attain to the highest spiritual dignities, may have even more power and position than angels in
the sight of Allah, as in typified by angels being hidden to bow down to Adam: ii. 34. The Quraish superstition about
angels being intermediaries and intercessors for man with Allah is condemned. (53.26)
5101 Cf. xx. 109 and xxi. 28. No one can intercede except with the permission of Allah, and that permission will only be
given for one who is acceptable to Allah. For a possible different shade of meaning. See n. 2643 to xx. 109. (53.26)
39:43 - What! Do they take for intercessors others besides Allah? Say: "Even if they have no power
whatever and no intelligence?" 4310
4310 Let alone worship, men should not rely upon any power or person other than Allah to help
them out or intercede for them. When it is idols, they are poor lifeless things which have
obviously neither power nor intelligence. But even prophets or saints or heroes have no power
to intercede except as Allah wills and permits. See next note. (39.43)
39:44 - Say: "To Allah belongs exclusively (the right to grant) Intercession: to Him belongs the
dominion of the heavens and the earth: in the End it is to Him that ye shall be brought back."
