WORD ABOUT INTERCESSION FOREBODING ASKING BLESSING AND AMULETS

First: words about intercession

The definition of intercession: intercession in Arabic (as-shafa’ah) is derived from the word shaf (which means even) that is contrary to the word witr (which means odd), as the interceded person becomes even by interceding.

Its definition in custom and Islamic law is:

1 – The asking of the interceding for the good for others than himself.

2 – The intercession of the intercessor for others by bringing benefit or warding off harm or alleviating it.

3 – Asking for overlooking sins and crimes.

Categories of people about intercession: there are three categories of people concerning intercession:

1 – One category has been and still is excessive in proving it: they are the polytheist Christians, extreme Sufis and those who pray to tombs of the dead saints.

They make the intercession of those whom they glorify before Allah on the Day of the Resurrection as their intercession in this worldly life. They believe that these glorified persons can intercede independently.

2 – One category denies intercession: such as the Mu’tazila and Kharijites (two sects that emerged after the death of the Prophet).

They have even denied the intercession of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, and others for the people who commit great sins. They have limited the intercession for the repentant believers.

In their false doctrine, proving intercession for the definitely disobedient contradicts the principle of threatening.

They believe that it is necessary to carry out threatening for those who deserve it.

They believe that neither the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, nor others will intercede for those.
