The Beloved Servants Of Allah Have The Power Of Intercession

The beloved servants of Allah have the power of intercession Verse 28: “and those whom they worship beside Allah have no power of intercession except those who bear witness to the truth knowingly.” (Al-Zukhrif 44:86). Meaning Prophet Isa and the Angels Alaihimus Salaam. From this verse, Allah has called his servants as the ones who posses the power of intercession and dining the term ‘those who have taken the covenant’ have shut the dirty statements of Taqwiyatul Iman which stated that there is no speciality about anyone in terms of intercession. Allah will give this power to whom He wishes. Verse 29: “And give not to the unwise their property you have, which Allah has made a means of your living and feed them therewith and clothe them and speak to them good words.” (Al-Nisa’ 4:5) The servants of Allah give sustenance to other people Verse 30: “But if at the time of division, the relatives and the orphans and the needy come, then give them something too from it and speak to them good words.” (Al-Nisa 4:8) The Angels keep the fighters firm and steadfast Verse 31: “When your Lord was revealing to the Angels, ‘I am with you, keep firm the Muslims…” (Al-Anfal 8:12) The Angels manage the affairs of this world Verse 32: “Then they manage the affairs.” (Al-Nazi’at 79:5) This is the innate attribute (al-Sifat al-Dhati) of Allah Almighty. It is written in Ma’alim al-Tanzeel Sharif: “Abdullah Ibn Abbas RadiAllaho Anhuma has said that the managers of the affairs are the Angels. They have been appointed these tasks, which Allah Almighty taught them. Abdur Rahman Bin Sabit has said that these Angels are four; Jibra’il, Meeka’il, ‘Izra’il and Israfil Alaihimus Salaam. Jibra’il Alaihis Salaam has been appointed the winds and the troops, i.e. to drive winds and give victory/defeat to troops. Meeka’il has been appointed the control over rain and plantation, meaning to shower rain and to grow trees, grass and vegetation. ‘Izra’il Alaihis Salaam has been given the task of taking out the souls and Israfil Alaihis Salaam has been given the task of coming down to these Angels with the commands of Allah.”1 It is in a Hadith: “The Qur’an has several meanings.” (Narrated by Abu Na’eem from Ibn Abbas RadiAllaho anhu who narrates from the Prophet

The Ulema, scholars, have said that every meaning of the Quran is a proof (Hujjat). [The Imams are still adducing arguments (Yahtajjoona) from all these meanings. This is one of the many greatest I’jaz-miracle of the Quran. We have mentioned this in detail in our book, AlZulaal al-Alqa Min Bahr Sabqat al-Atqa]…
