 of intercession is one of the most controversial issues with Islam. The Shia school of thought and also other schools within the Sunni traditions believe in the concept of intercession while others like Wahhabism refute it and reject the fact of intercession and claim that every person who believes in it is not a Muslim. The Qur'an addresses this issue in various manners. This is why my esteemed guests and I have dedicated tonight's episode to examine the concept of intercession within the Holy Qur'an, respected viewers, brothers and sisters in Islam. As-salamu alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh. Welcome to the third episode of Life from Karbala Ramadan series with me, your host Ahmed Ali. Tonight is a very special night. It's the third night of Ramadan and it is the night prior to Friday, late to Juma and Alhamdulillah, Rab al-Alamin Karbala is packed. However, I would like to introduce my guest who has joined me once again, As-salamu alaikum Sayyidina. How are you? I would like to ask Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala to bless you on this very special night. Likewise. The first Thursday night in Ramadan, it's a very special night and Karbala is packed with programs. In the previous episode, yesterday's episode, we discussed Imamah within the Holy Qur'an and discussed the role of the Imam and what are his duties. However, we continuously see the emphasis by Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala, which Allah and the Alibate place upon intercession. And we see that in the Holy Qur'an, in the traditions of Alibate, Alayhi salam. The question is that when we see this emphasis, and when we see some people who try to refute the concept of intercession, misconceptions begin to raise and issues begin to raise. And this causes Muslims to separate from one another. First, let's break it down and see what intercession is and why is it important? That due to the concept of al-shafa'ah or intercession, followers of Alibate have been attacked for centuries in believing in the concept of shafa'ah and asking their imams to intercede on their behalf for tawassul, for visiting the graves of Rasulullah sallallahu al-wali and the imams in asking them to intercede on their behalf. Now, before we see what the Qur'an exactly says about shafa'ah, let's first understand what is shafa'ah because perhaps we're arguing over nothing. If we define shafa'ah, perhaps we'll discover that we both agree on the same topic. The shafa'ah is legitimate, it's acceptable, there's nothing wrong with it. What is shafa'ah? Shafa'ah is to intercede on behalf of someone. This could be in your everyday life. You intercede with a judge, someone is in trouble. You go on and you intercede and you say, you're a friend of the judges. You go and you tell them that for my sake, let this person go or reduce the amount of years in jail or reduce the punishment. This is a form of intercession. When you go and you intercede on behalf of someone, for that person's benefit, to reduce punishment, to forgive a crime, to forgive a sin, to elevate that person's status, this is called shafa'ah. You're a business owner and you have people applying for your business as employees. You ask for a recommendation letter. I write a person a recommendation letter. You know me, we're good friends. You trust me. You trust my sense of judgment. If I write you a recommendation letter, you will accept that person. You will hire that person. This is a shafa'ah. That recommendation letter is considered shafa'ah. You will hire that person based upon my recommendation. This is shafa'ah. So is it safe to say that shafa'ah is some sort of assistance? It is a form of assistance. Let's come to shafa'ah in the religious sense. It is when a group of people, sometimes it's not people, sometimes it's a place. Sometimes it's a thing, like a book, intercedes on the day of judgment. Allah swt will forgive some people because of that intercession, because so-and-so interceded, or because a specific place interceded, like a masjid. A masjid will intercede on the day of judgment, and will speak on the day of judgment, and that's not far-fetched. Because the Quran says, وقالوا لجلودهم لمشاهدتم علينا قالوا أنطقنا الله الذي أنطق كل شيء Our skin, our bodily organs will speak on the day of judgment. So it's not far-fetched that a masjid will speak, and will say that this person prayed inside me five times, ten times, twenty times. The Quran will intercede on the day of judgment. Will say this person read me so-and-so many times, it will intercede. And some people will intercede. Prophets, angels, and we believe the Imams will also intercede on the day of judgment. Meaning that they will ask Allah swt to forgive this person, or to reduce his punishment, or to elevate his status. This person is already in paradise. This person who has the right or privilege of interceding will ask Allah swt to elevate this person's status in heaven, or decrease his punishment in hellfire, and so on and so forth. This is intercession, this is called Shafaqah. Now, whatever we say might just be claims. So if you want to make it into, you know, bring accuracy into the topic, and make it 100% certain, we have to use evidences, and you know, and the best evidence is the holy words of the Quran. Because everyone agrees upon the Quran. Definitely. We see that the Quran addresses the issue, or the concept of intercession in three matters. This is what I've gathered. Maybe you have more. First, there are verses which negate intercession. We see that in chapter 2, verse 123, and verse 254. The second matter is that there are verses which say that intercession is exclusively domain by Allah, or of Allah swt. Only Allah is the one who can intercede for humanity. And we see that in chapter 6, verse 70, and chapter 39, verse 44, and the third, we see that there are various verses which take priority over the first and the second matters, where the first is about the one who negates intercession, and the only Allah, and Allah swt. These two verses give certain people who have been selected by Allah swt. The ability to intercede for humanity or specific individuals. Now, what does the Quran have to say? I know we brought a couple of verses. I didn't mention the verses, but I brought numbers of the verses. Some verses, when we do look at this, I mean the first one negates, the second one says only Allah can intercede, and the third ones, they say that Allah can give people the ability to intercede. So does it not increase conflict between the verses and between Islam? So how is that? And how do we resolve the issue? The verses regarding Shafa'ah in the Quran are quite various. As you said, we have maybe more than 25 verses on Shafa'ah. It comes specifically in the word Shafa'ah, Yashfa'ah, Yashfa'un, and the various roots of this word. If you look it up, you will see that this word, with the root word, with the other forms of usage, there is a minimum of 25 verses that have mentioned Shafa'ah, intercession. From my understanding of these verses, I see that Allah, in some verses, says there is absolutely no intercession. Yes, and we do see that. And there are no intercessors. For example, Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 48, Be pious, fear the day in which one person cannot help another, and intercession will not be accepted, period. There's no exceptions in this verse. It's a general law. There's no Shafa'ah. Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 123, the one that you mentioned. And fear the day in which any intercession will not benefit it. No intercession will benefit it. Meaning, no matter who intercedes, it will not benefit them. Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 254, O you who believe, give from what we've given you. Before that day comes, which has a day in which there's no buying and selling, and there's no friendship, and there's no intercession, and the disbelievers are the oppressors. Surah Al-Qiyamah, verse 48, that the intercession of the intercessors will not benefit them. Meaning, intercession is no good. Even if there were to be intercessors, their intercession is meaningless. Surah Al-An'am, verse 51, They have no one other than Allah, as an intercessor. There's no one else. There's no friend to take care of them, and there's no intercessor to take care of them. So we do see the confusion. I mean you just mentioned verses where it says there's absolutely no intercession. Now it's Allah. Here in this verse, that there is an intercessor. The intercessor is Allah swt. No one else. The verse doesn't mention anyone else. It's only Allah swt. There's other verses. What I understand from these verses is that the general law on the Day of Judgement is that no one can help you. You'll come by yourself. You'll be resurrected by yourself. And the only thing that can help you on the Day of Judgement is your actions. What have you put forward? Your Salah, your fasting, your Sadaqah, your Hajj, your Zakat. You help an orphan. You help your parents. You respected someone. You're a ziyarah. It's only your actions. This is the general law. There's nothing that can save you on the Day of Judgement. Nothing that can help you other than your actions. It's just like in Arabic we say We give an example, but examples remain not very clear. There are some game shows on TV. Who wants to be a millionaire? You're asked questions. The first thing that can help you on this show is what? Your brain. Your knowledge. Your brain. Your memorization skills. How much you've memorized? By default, if you don't have knowledge, you should not go on that show. Right? However, even if you have knowledge, but sometimes you forget, you get to ask someone for help. There's assistance. There's assistance. You get to call someone. Call someone, ask the audience. Or ask the audience. But by default, it has to be your knowledge. What you know. What you've memorized. How much information and knowledge you have. You're qualified to go on that show. Allah SWT is trying to tell us that number one, the first criteria is your actions. What have you brought with you on the Day of Judgment? This is the general law. So don't come to the Day of Judgment thinking that someone will help you. This person will help your mother, your father, this prophet, that Imam. No. Bring your actions. You don't have actions. Good luck. No one can help you. No one can help you. If you don't have good deeds, you're in big trouble. This is the general law. Now after stating this law, this general law, then the Quran comes and says, you know, there's some exceptions. And to every rule there's what? There's an exception. Yeah. To every rule there's an exception. The exception is that some people will have the right to intercede. And some people will have the right to receive intercession. Who will see later on? But let's first prove that some people have the right to intercede. Because these people are special. Not because of who they are. No, by merit, by their actions, by their qualities. These people are special. Allah SWT has given them the right to intercede. Does this conflict? It does. You still see that there's a conflict? I mean, well, the thing is that first we said that there's action. Yes. So is action the only solution to that? You see, it's just like when you go and propose to a lady. Yes. You have to have a couple of criteria. Yes. But there's one criteria more important than others. Yes. The first criteria is faith, for example. For some families you have to be a Muslim. Yes. If you have this criteria and you have others, that's great. But if you don't have the number one criteria, you're out. You're not even welcome. The first criteria is actions on the Day of Judgment. Now, after having actions, some people, they need a boost. Yes. They need the word that you used, assistance. Yes. There's a difference between someone who comes on the Day of Judgment and has absolutely no good deeds. This person has no room for Shafa. And another person who comes with good deeds, but he needs a boost. Yes. He needs a form of assistance. Shafa is for this person. Okay. Or this person has good deeds, but has some bad deeds as well. It's not that he came empty handed whatsoever. He has good deeds, but at the same time he has bad deeds. Mistakenly. Here he receives Shafa. The Quran says in Surah Maryam, verse 87. He has made a vow with the All-Merciful. Has the right to intercede. Surah Taha, verse 109. No intercession will be accepted except. You see that general law is that intercessions are not accepted. You're rejected, you're rejected, you're rejected, you're rejected. These are a group of people that Allah has chosen because of their merits, because of their qualities as a reward for what they've done. Allah says, you know what? One of your rewards is that you get to intercede on the Day of Judgment. Allah has the right to give permission. Allah is the one who says on the Day of Judgment there's no intercession. He's the one that says, yes, I've made this law. There are no intercessions except for a few. For those that I've given them the right to intercede. So he makes an exception. And another verse. Surah Saba, verse 23. And to such a zulna be accepted unless a person is given permission. Surah Zokhruf, verse 86. They will not have the right to intercession unless they witness to the truth. Allah will tell them fine. Aitur Kursi, we're all very familiar with Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 255. Who dares intercede? Who will intercede? Allah be with me. If you have permission, you can intercede. If you don't have permission, you can intercede. So it's a matter of do you have permission to intercede or you don't have permission to intercede? Are you allowed to receive intercession or you're not allowed to receive intercession? So that negation, even though it's general, but every general law has what? An exception. An exception. I don't know. Do we have time before the break to go into details on who receives intercession or who doesn't receive intercession? I think we have a couple of more minutes. But now I know why it's confusing and it's very controversial amongst the traditions. But the thing is that when we do come to understand that intercession is only to Allah and then we have to the ones who are granted permission by Allah, we do see that isn't it confusing? I mean why is Allah stating in the first that no intercession and then Allah intercedes and then He grants permission? Good point. When Allah SWT says, intercessions for me. And then He says, some people, or He's making receptions. At the end of the day, Allah SWT can intercede or gives that right to others. That's possible. There's verses that speak about taking life. Yes. In some verses of the Qur'an, Allah says, Allah takes away lives. And another verse, He says, Say that the one who takes your life is the angel of death. Is this a conflict? No. Because when the angel of death, Allah says, And another verse says the angel of death takes away your life. Is there a conflict? No. Because when the angel of life is taking life and bringing death to a person, He's doing it with the authority of whom? Allah SWT. So what I understand from that is that they're intertwined through the command of Allah. Perfect. So when Allah SWT, when He allows someone to intercede, Allah is giving Him the permission to intercede. And in reality, Allah has interceded. Because He's giving permission for someone to intercede. Yes. That's perfect. So Sayyidina, we'll go into a short break. Insha'Allah. We'll come back to this discussion. So respected viewers will be presented with an overview of tonight's episode, as well as live footage from the Holy Shrine of Imam Hussain, peace be upon him on Thursday night. So to the break, we'll go back shortly. We'll be presented with live footage from inside the Holy Shrine of Imam Hussain, peace be upon him. It's Thursday night prior to Friday. And as Ahlul Bayt, peace be upon him, and the traditions from our beloved Imams, they state that whoever sends his salutations and sends blessings upon Imam Hussain, on Thursday night Allah SWT will grant him paradise and will grant him the ability to come and visit his beloved Imam Hussain, peace be upon him. So join us as we send our salutations to our beloved master Imam Hussain, peace be upon him. Respected viewers, welcome back. I hope you, insha'Allah, enjoyed those live footage from inside the Holy Shrine of Imam Hussain, as you can see. It's very packed. And Alhamdulillah, Rab al-Alamin. Karbala is flourishing through its programs and through its zuwar. And Alhamdulillah, Rab al-Alamin. What better place to be other in the Holy Land of Karbala on a night like this, the night of Ramadan, the night prior to Friday. But back to discussion with my dear guest, Sayyed Hussain Qazmeen, you're welcome back. How are you, Sayyidina? Alayha Khaldiqum. Alayha Khaldiqum, insha'Allah. Before the break, we cleared up some confusion regarding the concept of intercession and the issue regarding it. And, you know, some verses we stated that no intercession is allowed. Then we said Allah is the one who intercedes. Allah gives or grants permission to some individuals with special characteristics and merits who they can intercede as well. But all of that comes under the command of Allah SWT. But some state that Prophet Muhammad and the Ahlul Bayt, peace be upon them, have absolute power of intercession. Is it not, you know, that characteristic only to Allah SWT? How does Prophet Muhammad and the Ahlul Bayt possess that? We believe that Allah Azawajal has given Rasulullah, Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, the right to Shafa'ah. And this is clear in the whole of Quran. And so too to the Imams. Really? In fact, in fact, some might ask the opposite question. Yes. What's the point of Shafa'ah? Allah SWT tells us to have a direct relationship with Him, without middlemen. Yes. Allah SWT says, He says, Call on me and I'll answer you. There's no middleman. Not call on someone else. Not call on someone else. Don't put a middleman between me and you. Fine. That's true. Allah SWT could call on Him directly. No one says you can't. Yes. Call on Allah directly. However, sometimes some human beings, they want to boost. Yes. They want to make sure that their prayer is not rejected. Yes. Perhaps Allah might reject me for my sins. Yes. And He has every right to do so. For my sins, for my misbehavior, hypocrisy, lack of sincerity, and so on and so forth. As human beings, He has the right to reject us. Yes. But when I come and I put forward, O Surah Allah SAW, when I put forward Imam Ali Ali, What's the point of Shafa'ah? What's the point of Shafa'ah? Will He reject me? Will He say no? Most likely not. Yes. Because that Shafa'ah will give me a boost. That's the point of Shafa'ah. Otherwise I could go directly to Allah SWT. And have the possibility of being rejected. And have the possibility of being rejected? Yes. And Allah has the right. No one could say that. No, that's injustice. No. If I misbehave, if I oppress Allah, if I sin, if I transgress, Allah has every right to turn me down. We're being injustice. We're the one committing the injustice. Yes. Now, there's a verse in the Quran. That's the biggest proof of Shafa'ah. Specifically regarding Rasulullah SWT. The Quran says, Those who oppress themselves. Yesterday we talked about self-oppression. We talked about self-oppression. Meaning those who committed sins. Because when you commit a sin, you're oppressing yourself. Because you're exposing yourself to punishment. They come to you. First they oppress themselves. They come to you. They seek forgiveness. And Rasulullah asks Allah to forgive them. Why do they come to Rasulullah? They can go directly to Allah SWT. And ask forgiveness from Allah SWT. But they know that it's a 50-50 chance of being rejected and denied. But they know that if Rasulullah asks Allah to forgive them, Allah is not going to say no to Rasulullah. He might say no to them for their sins. But is Allah going to say no to Rasulullah? Absolutely not. Absolutely not. They will find that Allah is all forgiving, all merciful. Is there any clearer proof that Shafa'ah exists? This is Shafa'ah. This is Rasulullah interceding on behalf of a group of sinners. Another proof. More proof. The sons of Yaqub alaihi salam. The sons of Yaqub, Prophet Yaqub. After their father discovered what they had done. That they had thrown Yusuf alaihi salam into a well. They confessed. They came clean. They came and told him, They said, forgiveness means what? Forgive us? No. Ask forgiveness? It means ask Allah to forgive us. Ask Allah to forgive us. This is Shafa'ah. He didn't say no. This is shirk. This is not allowed. This is useless. Ask Allah directly. What did he say? say I will I shall ask Allah to forgive you this is Shafa'a this is Shafa'a this is clear proof of Shafa'a in the Qur'an well now I would like to move to a different yet related topic to intercession this also raises misconstruction you know Al-Shia Alhamdulillah I mean we hold we hold a firm basis regarding the traditions and the commands that we have received through the Al-Waid Al-Alim Islam regarding intercession but other schools of thought refute and reject the matter of intercession and they bring forth evidence from the Holy Qur'an that ones that you've mentioned but there's another verse which is chapter 9 verse 14 regarding Ibrahim alaihi salam he says God's beloved servant could not intercede on behalf of his father who was a pagan so isn't he a prophet and he couldn't intercede so they said through this you can't intercession is is not allowed in Islam we say Nuh who could not intercede on behalf of his son when he was about to drown he says oh God this is my son he says no you know perfect perfect examples and then Prophet Muhammad could not intercede on behalf of his uncle Abu Lahab in chapter 111 verse 1 to 3 or relatives in chapter 9 verse 80 so the question that that that is raised right now are there any traditions from the Sunni school of thought regarding intercession yes there is but to answer you on these verses we stated that Shafa'a is for those that need a boost that have good deeds and have some bad deeds but they need a boost the examples that you mentioned Ibrahim could not intercede for his uncle yes not for his father or uncle his uncle his uncle not his father we believe that the person in the Qur'an it's not his father it's his uncle okay and that's another topic that's another topic even though he uses the word ebb because we believe that the fathers of prophets or monotheists they cannot be polytheists anyhow his uncle was an idol worshiper yes he had no good deeds so in order to intercede for him to intercede for him for what he hasn't done any good deeds yes that would be unjust to intercede for a person just because he's an uncle or just because he's a nephew or just because he's a son that's not a merit or for Nuh to intercede on behalf of his son why his son was a kafir he willingly rejected definitely Nuh can now intercede on behalf of his son because his son had no good deeds he lacked faith we said in the beginning that Shafa'ah is for those that have good deeds that have faith but at the same time they slacked off a little bit he's locked off here they slacked off there they missed maybe a Salah here a Salah there maybe maybe I don't know but this is the idea that I have a Shafa'ah according to the Qur'an in that hadith those who they have some deeds but they need a boost they need assistance Abu Lahab the uncle of Rasulullah he only had bad deeds he didn't have a single good deed for Rasulullah to intercede now intercession in Sunni book sub hadith it's very clear there's lots of narrations I'm only gonna mention one or two two or three he's Sunan al-Nisa'i an Jabir ibn Abdullah I was given five things now that no one before me was given I was given intercession and no prophet before me was given intercession this is in Sunan al-Nisa'i I also in Sunan al-Nisa'i he asks for my help he will receive my intercession another hadith another hadith my intercession is for those that perform the big sins in my I will intercede on their behalf I will get them I will get them back in Assyrian Nabawiyah by Al-Halabi this is a Sunni source Abu Bakr came to the corpse of Rasulullah after his death he removed the cloth over his face and he threw himself on the body of Rasulullah and he said to his father and mother may my mother and father be a sacrifice for you it's Kurnaya Muhammad and the Rabbik mention us remember us with your Lord what is this Shafa'ah Abu Bakr is asking Rasulullah to perform intercession while in akun feebalik remember us don't forget us with Allah this is just a couple of drops from the ocean of narrations mentioned in Sunni books of hadith so that also somewhat does answer the question is that since they have that within their books why is it within their schools of thought the idea of intercession is rejected that's it's either up to them or you can answer I mean it's up to you because somewhat it's it's confusing because when you have two schools of thought who believe in the same prophet and who believe in the same book they tend to you know because the verses we mentioned aren't just you know cherry picked from the Quran no they're actually verses who state which state that intercession plays a very significant role within you know the Muslims within the Muslims life and as you mentioned you know some people do have mistakes yet they need a little boost now you've mentioned that the one with Abu Bakr who says remember us with your Lord remember us with your Lord that means that on a day of judgment after everyone's everyone dies Rasulullah remembers him I don't know if he does or not but remembers the Muslims on a day of judgment the question is is that who gets to intercede on a day of judgment the prophets the imams regular people pious who gets to intercede the verses on the Quran they say that you know we read some of the verses that no one has the right to intercession except Allah has given permission just off the bat we can assume who has the right to who will be given permission prophets I mean if prophets are not given the right to intercede who will be given the right to intercede imams our imams our imams are not less significant than the prophets and their deeds and their spirituality and their righteousness and their akhlaab as we mentioned yesterday in their worship they're not less significant than the prophets so they too have the right to intercede we have narrations that say angels will enter that have the right to intercede scholars al-ulama they have the right to intercede martyrs al-shuhada they have the right to intercede the Quran has the right to intercede the masjid has the right to intercede no these are narrations these are narrations in hadith some places of worship and our you know from the Sunni school of thought they agree upon this if you see them you know they have a they have a practice when they pray in one place the next salat they'll pray somewhere else the third salat they'll get up and pray somewhere else that's good this is a good practice why because we have narrations that say the place where you pray will intercede for you on the day of judgment will come and say that this person prayed on top of me so the more places you pray on the more places will intercede on the day of judgment and they agree upon this as well in the Sunni school of thought now if a place intercedes if a copy of the Quran intercedes if a mosque a building intercedes an infallible imam cannot intercede and we'll talk about infallibility tomorrow insha'Allah an infallible imam a sinless imam a righteous person if a scholar intercede are the imams not scholars all schools of thought agree that imam Ja'far ibn Muhammad al-Sadiq was a scholar his father imam al-Baqir was a scholar Musa ibn Ja'far was a scholar according to their on biographies there are scholars if you agree that scholars intercede are imams also intercede so I mean it's very beautifully said that since any scholar can intercede how can the imams or the prophets not intercede so we do see that whoever is granted permission so infallible or not infallible still they can intercede so that somewhat removes the confusion the conflict within but earlier in the episode you mentioned actions and the importance of actions I know we have a couple of I think 5 or 6 minutes left since that we do our 3 minutes since that we have the actions that they come since that we have the actions and intercession if intercession plays that role what's the role of actions this is a very important question and this is where some people they fall into a slippery slope they think that as long as there is shafa'a there's no need for actions I'll depend on I'll depend on imam Ali as long as I have love for the Ahlul Bayt I'll depend on imam Al-Hussain there is shafa'a but at the same time there's actions we said in the beginning that intercession comes as a boost as long as you have actions if you don't have actions who said you'll get shafa'a who said you'll get shafa'a there's some people they think they could come on the day of judgment empty handed absolutely empty handed and they'll receive the shafa'a of imam Al-Hussain who said imam Al-Sadiq Ali on his deathbed he gathered his family members and he said I want to say one last statement I want everyone to hear and those of you that are here say it to the ones that are not here that we don't get shafa'a our intercession will not reach someone who doesn't take the prayer seriously is not someone who doesn't pray whatsoever no, he prays but he doesn't take the prayer seriously instead of praying on time he delays Salat an hour, two hours, three hours this person will not receive intercession let alone someone who doesn't pray whatsoever this person will not receive intercession this hadith by itself tells us that actions are a must you cannot replace actions with shafa'a shafa'a was not meant to replace actions do good deeds come do the best of deeds and intercession will help look at our top scholars in Maraj'a they were almost infallible you don't see a single scholar that commits sins and relies on intercession and shafa'a and says, you know what, I have enough I'll have the shafa'a of the al-Habit no, they came with good deeds and insha'Allah they hope to receive some shafa'a insha'Allah and that's a perfect perfect statement to end tonight's episode is that actions is more important than intercession because if you don't have actions intercession doesn't play you'll be like the son of Nuh perfect, or the uncle of Prophet Abraham thank you very much Sayyidina for joining us tonight may Allah's upon ta'ala bless you for your dedication respected viewers thank you very much for joining us in tonight's episode we have cleared up the confusion regarding intercession and may Allah's upon ta'ala bless everyone on a night like this the night prior
