In the Name of Allah, the
Gracious, the Merciful
Extract from Chapter 2 of QUR’AANIC
STUDIES – A Modern Tafsir, in which the divine declaration, that there shall
be no intercession in the Hereafter, is discussed:
48. Waittaqoo
yawman la tajzee nafsun AAan nafsin shay-an wala yuqbalu minha
shafaAAatun wala yu/khathu minha AAadlun wala
hum yunsaroona
48. And fear
that Day when none can be of any avail on anything to another, when no
intercession will be accepted from anyone nor any ransom taken, and when they
will be given no help!53
53. This is a divine statement, made quite
categorically! In defiance thereof, however, almost the entire Christendom and most
Muslims cling to their futile fond hopes that Jesus and Muhammad (may peace be
upon them both) shall ransom their sinning souls out, with their – the two
Messengers' – respective powers(?) of intercession!
Save us from the evil of following falsehoods, Allah!
