Intercession

And fear a Day when no soul will suffice for another soul at all, nor will intercession be accepted from it, nor will compensation be taken from it, nor will they be aided.

None will have [power of] intercession except he who had taken from the Most Merciful a covenant.

That Day, no intercession will benefit except [that of] one to whom the Most Merciful has given permission and has accepted his word.

He knows what is [presently] before them and what will be after them, and they cannot intercede except on behalf of one whom He approves. And they, from fear of Him, are apprehensive.

And intercession does not benefit with Him except for one whom He permits. [And those wait] until, when terror is removed from their hearts, they will say [to one another], "What has your Lord said?" They will say, "The truth." And He is the Most High, the Grand.

Should I take other than Him [false] deities [while], if the Most Merciful intends for me some adversity, their intercession will not avail me at all, nor can they save me?

Say, "To Allah belongs [the right to allow] intercession entirely. To Him belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth. Then to Him you will be returned."

And those they invoke besides Him do not possess [power of] intercession; but only those who testify to the truth [can benefit], and they know.

So there will not benefit them the intercession of [any] intercessors.
