You have come back to us each on his own, just as we created
you the first time, and you have left behind what we provided for
you. We do not see with you the intercessors that you idolized and
claimed that they will help you. All ties among you have been severed;
the idols you set up have abandoned you.
6:94
In this glorious Quranic verse we read God's mocking words that are
addressed to all those who disbelieved God's words in the Quran regarding
intercession.
Before we analyse the significance of these divine words we must first look
into the Quranic view of intercession on Judgement Day.
Throughout the Quran God makes it clear that there will be NO intercession
on Judgement Day.
To believe that anyone, other than God, can intercede on our behalf to have
our sins forgiven or our wishes fulfilled, is to set up partners with God. This
is idolatry. The Quran proclaims in numerous verses one message, that there
will be "no intercession on the Day of Judgment" (2:254).
The myth of intercession is one of Satan's most effective tricks to dupe
millions of people into idol worship. Millions of Christians believe that Jesus
will intercede for them at God, and millions of Muslims believe that
Muhammad
will intercede on their behalf.
Consequently, these people idolize Jesus and Muhammad as their Saviours.
Since the Quran is the most accurate book, it acknowledges that everyone in
Paradise will intercede on behalf of his or her loved ones: "Please God, admit
my mother into Paradise." This intercession will work if the person's mother
deserves to go to Paradise (2:255, 20:109, 21:28). Thus, intercession, though
it will take place in this manner, is utterly useless.
We learn from the Quran that Abraham, God's beloved servant, could not
intercede on behalf of his father (9:114). Noah could not intercede on behalf
of his son (11:46). Muhammad could not intercede on behalf of his uncle
(111:1-3) or relatives (9:80). What makes anyone think that a prophet or a
saint will intercede on behalf of a perfect stranger?! For more Quranic verses
that confirm that there will be intercession on Judgement Day see 2:48, 123;
6:51, 70; 7:53; 10:3; 19:87; 26:100; 30:13; 32:4; 36:23; 39:44; 40:18; 43:86;
53:26 & 74:48.
Despite all these Quranic confirmations that expose the myth of intercession,
yet millions of Muslims today have disbelieved God's words and believed
dubious hadith that state that Muhammad will intercede on our behalf.
But God also offers us the proof in the Quran that Muhammad NEVER
claimed that he would intercede for us on Judgement day. The proof is found
in the following verse:
Have they invented intercessors to mediate
between them and God? Say (O Muhammad) , "What
if they do not possess any power, nor understanding?
Say (O Muhammad), "All intercession belongs to God". To Him belongs
all sovereignty of the heavens and the earth, then to Him you will be returned.
39:43-44
With these Quranic words God is telling us that He SPECIFICALLY
commanded Muhammad to declare to the believers that there will be no
intercession on Judgement Day and that all intercession belongs to God
ALONE. This is evident from the word "SAY" at the begining of verse 44.
To believe that Muhammad declared that he would intercede on behalf of his
people, is to say that Muhammad disregarded God's command to him and
simply advocated the opposite! Needless to say, Muhammad the prophet of
God would not do such a thing.
