In The Name Of Allah Most Gracious Most Merciful Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatuallahi wa barakatuhu
Types Of IntercessionAllah's Words: " to Allah belongs all intercession" Prove that intercession is of many different kinds and the scholars have mentioned eight of them:
1. Major Intercession: It is that which will fall upon the shoulders of the Prophet Muhammad after all the other Prophets and Messengers have refused to accept it on the Day of Resurrection: The people will ask all of the previous Prophets and Messengers to intercede with Allah on their behalf but they will refuse, saying: "Myself! Myself!" Then they will come to the Messenger of Allah , and he will accept, and go to his Rabb and prostrate before Him for as long as He wills, then he will be given permission to raise his head and intercede on behalf of the believing people, and none other than he shall be given this right and privilege.
2. Intercession for the People of Paradise: The Prophet’s [peace be upon him] intercession with Allah on behalf of the People of Paradise One Example:Muslim (may Allaah have mercy on him) narrated (1528) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) prayed for Abu Salamah and said: “O Allaah, forgive Abu Salamah and raise his status among those who are guided, and take good care of his family that he has left behind. Forgive us and him, O Lord of the Worlds, make his grave spacious for him and illuminate it for him
3. Intercession for the Disobedient Muslims: He will intercede with his Lord on behalf of those Muslims who may have committed sins of disobedience to their Rabb, Almighty, that they may not be placed in the Fire.
4. Intercession for the Disobedient People of Tawheed: He will intercede with Allah on behalf of those Muslims who have entered the Hell-fire because of their sins, that they may be removed from it. The authentic narration concerning this has been widely reported and all of the Companions and Ahl As-Sunnah are agreed upon it.
5. Intercession for Increasing the Reward of the People of Paradise: The Messenger of Allah will intercede on behalf of a people from amongst the People of Paradise, that they may have their reward increased and their status elevated; and there is none who disputes this. 6. Intercession of the Prophet for his Uncle: He will intercede on behalf of his uncle Abu Talib, that his punishment in the Hell-fire may be lightened.
7. Intercession of the Children: Those children who died while still below the age of reason will intercede on behalf of their believing parents.
8. Intercession of Some of the Believers for Others: It is authentically confirmed that some of the Believers will intercede on behalf of their believing brothers.
Allah Subhanawatala Commanded Prophet Muhammad [peace be upon him] To Pray For Muslims
24: 62 Only those are Believers who believe in Allah and His Apostle: when they are with him on a matter requiring collective action they do not depart until they have asked for his leave: those who ask for thy leave are those who believe in Allah and His Apostle; so when they ask for thy leave for some business of theirs give leave to those of them whom thou wilt and ask Allah for their forgiveness: for Allah is Oft-Forgiving Most Merciful.
3: 159 It is part of the Mercy of Allah that thou dost deal gently with them. Wert thou severe or harsh-hearted they would have broken away from about thee; so pass over (their faults) and ask for (Allah's) forgiveness for them; and consult them in affairs (of moment). Then when thou hast taken a decision put thy trust in Allah. For Allah loves those who put their trust (in Him).
60: 12 O Prophet! when believing women come to thee to take the oath of fealty to thee that they will not associate in worship any other thing whatever with Allah that they will not steal that they will not commit adultery (or fornication) that they will not kill their children that they will not utter slander intentionally forging falsehood and that they will not disobey thee in any just matter then do thou receive their fealty and pray to Allah for the forgiveness (of their sins): for Allah is Oft-Forgiving Most Merciful.
2: 286 On no soul doth Allah place a burden greater than it can bear. It gets every good that it earns and it suffers every ill that it earns. (Pray): "Our Lord! condemn us not if we forget or fall into error; our Lord! Lay not on us a burden like that which Thou didst lay on those before us; Our Lord! lay not on us a burden greater than we have strength to bear. Blot out our sins and grant us forgiveness. Have mercy on us. Thou art our Protector; help us against those who stand against faith.
47: 19 Know therefore that there is no god but Allah and ask forgiveness for the fault and for the men and women who believe: for Allah knows how ye move about and how ye dwell in your homes.
4: 64 We sent not an Apostle but to be obeyed in accordance with the will of Allah. If they had only when they were unjust to themselves come unto thee and asked Allah's forgiveness and the Apostle had asked forgiveness for them they would have found Allah indeed Oft-Returning most Merciful.
Unbelievers Asked Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him To Pray For Their Forgiveness
48: 11 The desert Arabs who lagged behind will say to thee: "We were engaged in (looking after) our flocks and herds and our families; do thou then ask forgiveness for us." They say with their tongues what is not in their hearts. Say: "Who then has any power at all (to intervene) on your behalf with Allah if His will is to give you some loss or to give you some profit? but Allah is well acquainted with all that ye do.
63: 5 And when it is said to them "Come the Apostle of Allah will pray for your forgiveness" they turn aside their heads and thou wouldst see them turning away their faces in arrogance. 6:It is equal to them whether thou pray for their forgiveness or not. Allah will not forgive them. Truly Allah guides not rebellious transgressors
9: 80 Whether thou ask for their forgiveness or not (their sin is unforgivable): if thou ask seventy times for their forgiveness Allah will not forgive them: because they have rejected Allah and His apostle; and Allah guideth not those who are perversely rebellious.
Prayer For Rain By Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him
(a) Report of the Bedouin who said to the Holy Prophet:
We have come to you when even our virgins' milk is dry, and the mother worries for her own life over her child's, The child lets down his arms sitting still For hunger, a hunger unstilled and uninterrupted.We have nothing left from what our people eat Except bitter colocynth and camel-wool mixed with blood.And we have none but you to flee to, for where can people flee except to the Messengers?
Then the Prophet - upon him peace - stood up and he was dragging his garment. He climbed up the pulpit and said:"O Allah, send us water...." whereupon rain fell abundantly.
Then the Prophet upon him peace said: "If Abu Talib were alive he would have liked to see this. Who will recite for us what he said?" Hearing this, `Ali stood up and said: "Messenger of Allah, I think you mean his saying:A fair-skinned one by whose face rainclouds are sought, A caretaker for the orphans and protector of widows.
With him the clan of Hashim seek refuge from calamities, For they possess in him immense favor and grace....” Narrated by al-Bayhaqi in Dala'il al-Nubuwwa (6:141) cf. Ibn Kathir, al-Bidaya wal-Nihaya (6:90-91) and Ibn Hajar, Fath al-Bari (1989 ed. 2:629).
*Note:When the Imam is asked to pray istisqa/prayer for seeking rain prayer,one must pray.
Send Peace on Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him33: 56 Allah and His angels send blessings on the Prophet: O ye that believe! send ye blessings on him and salute him with all respect.
Allah Subhanawatala Also Sends Peace On Prophet peace be upon him along With The Angels. 33:43 He it is Who sends blessings on you as do His angels that He may bring you out from the depths of Darkness into Light: and He is Full of Mercy to the Believers
Do Not Take My Grave For Festivity –Durud Will Be Presented To me
Al-Tirmidhi HadithHadith 924 Narrated byAbdullah ibn Mas'ud Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) said: There is a mobile (squads) of Angels on Earth convey to me the blessings invoked upon me by my Ummah. Transmitted by Nasa'i and Darimi.
In the Sunan of Abu Daawood and other from the Prophet (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam) that he said, "do not take my grave as a place of festivity and invoke prayers upon me wheresoever you may be for indeed they are conveyed to me." Abu Daawood [Eng. Trans. 2/542 no. 2037] and it was declared saheeh by Al-Albaanee in Saheeh al-Jaami` [2/1211]
Prophets Are Alive An Their Graves & Earth Does’nt Consume Their Bodies.
Prayer (Kitab Al-Salat): Details of Commencing Prayer Dawud :: Book 3 : Hadith 1042 Narrated Aws ibn Aws: The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: Among the most excellent of your days is Friday; on it Adam was created, on it he died, on it the last trumpet will be blown, and on it the shout will be made, so invoke more blessings on me that day, for your blessings will be submitted to me. The people asked: Apostle of Allah, how can it be that our blessings will be submitted to you while your body is decayed? He replied: Allah, the Exalted, has prohibited the earth from consuming the bodies of Prophets.
In the Sunan of Sa`eed bin Mansoor that Abdullaah bin Hasan bin Hasan bin [Alee bin] Abee Taalib He is the noble, trustworthy and precise scholar. He died in the year 145H at the age of 75. Refer to 'Taqreeb at-Tahdheeb' [no. 3292] - and he is from the most noble Hasans during the period of the tab`a taabi`een - that he saw a person frequenting the grave of the Prophet (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam) and said, "O person indeed the Messenger of Allaah said, "do not take my grave as a place of festivity and invoke prayers upon me wheresoever you may be for indeed they are conveyed to me." You and a person in Andulus are equivalent with regards to this."
In the Sunan of Abu Daawood and others from Aws bin Aws ath-Thaqafee that the Prophet (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam) said, "frequent the salaah upon me on the day and night of Jumu`ah for indeed your salaah is presented to me." They said, 'O Messenger of Allaah how can our salaah be presented to you after you have passed away?' He replied, "indeed Allaah has forbidden the earth from eating the flesh of the Prophets." {30} Reported by Abu Daawood [Eng. Trans. 1/269 no. 1042], ibn Maajah [1/524], Ahmad [4/2] and al-Haakim [1/278] who said, 'it is saheeh, meeting the criteria of Bukhaaree' and adh-Dhahabee agreed.
In an-Nasaa`ee and ibn Hibbaan and others from ibn Mas`ud from the Prophet (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam) that he said, "indeed Allaah has Angels roaming the earth who convey to me the salaam of my nation." Reported by an-Nasaa`ee [2/43], ibn Hibbaan [2/134] and declared saheeh by al-Albaanee in 'Saheeh al-Jaami' [1/434]
We have been informed that the salaah and salaam reaches him from near and far through his saying, "send salaah upon me from wheresoever you may be for indeed your salaah is conveyed to me," and his saying, "do not take my grave as a place of festivity." Similarly the salaam reaches him from near and far as in his saying, "indeed Allaah has Angels roaming the earth who convey to me the salaam of my nation." So when every Muslim says in his prayer, "peace be upon you O Prophet, and the blessings and mercy of Allaah" then this reaches him (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam).
The Companions and the Taabi`een knew that this salaam was better and more virtuous then the salaam said to him (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam) at his grave to which he replied because the salaam said upon greeting is shared by the Muslims as occurs in the hadeeth, "there is not a person who passes by the grave of someone who he knew while alive except that Allaah returns his soul to him so that he may reply to the salaam." A similar hadeeth is reported by al-Bayhaqee in 'ash-Shu`ab', ibn Abee ad-Dunya in 'al-Quboor', as-Saaboonee in 'al-Mi`atayn', ibn Abdul Barr in 'al-Istidhkaar' and 'at-Tamheed' and was declared saheeh by Abdul Haqq as mentioned by as-Suyutee in 'Sharh as-Sudoor' [pg. 84]. However the salaam through which one worships in the prayer, which in fact one has been commanded to say in prayer, is answered by Allaah tenfold whereas this other type of salaam that is said is answered by him (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam) just as he would have answered during his lifetime.
All of the Companions used to send salaam upon him in every prayer and on some occasions used to go to him and extend the salaam to him. So the first salaam has been ordered by Allaah to be said in every prayer whereas the second type of salaam has only been legislated upon meeting him. The reward of the first type of salaam is greater because Allaah returns the salaam tenfold whereas only the Messenger answers the second type.
Angels pray for Forgiveness of Muslims40: 7 Those who sustain the Throne (of Allah) and those around it sing Glory and Praise to their Lord; believe in Him; and implore forgiveness for those who believe: "Our Lord! Thy reach is over all things in Mercy and Knowledge. Forgive then those who turn in repentance and follow Thy Path: and preserve them from the Penalty of the Blazing Fire!
Ask Forgiveness For Yourself and For Parents
14: 41 "O our Lord! cover (us) with Thy Forgiveness me my parents and (all) Believers on the Day that the Reckoning will be established!"

Intercession Will Be Permitted On Judgement Day To Whom Allah Subhanawatala Permits.
20:109 On that Day shall no intercession avail except for those for whom permission has been granted by (Allah) Most Gracious and whose word is acceptable to Him.
34:23 "No intercession can avail in His Presence except for those for whom He has granted permission. So far (is this the case) that when terror is removed from their hearts (at the Day of Judgement then) will they say `What is it that your Lord commanded?' They will say `That which is true and just; and He is the Most High Most Great.' "
21:28 He knows what is before them and what is behind them and they offer no intercession except for those who are acceptable and they stand in awe and reverence of His (glory).
39:44 Say: "To Allah belongs exclusively (the right to grant) Intercession: to Him belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth: in the End it is to Him that ye shall be brought back."
53:26 How many so ever be the angels in the heavens their intercession will avail nothing except after Allah has given leave for whom He pleases and that he is acceptable to Him.
19:86 And We shall drive the sinners to Hell like thirsty cattle driven down to water 87 None shall have the power of intercession but such a one as has received permission (or promise) from (Allah) Most Gracious.
2:255 Allah! there is no Allah but He the living the Self-subsisting Eternal. No slumber can seize him nor sleep. His are all things in the heavens and on earth. Who is there can intercede in His presence except as He permitteth? He knoweth what (appeareth to his creatures as) before or after or behind them. Nor shall they compass aught of his knowledge except as He willeth. His throne doth extend over the heavens and the earth and He feeleth no fatigue in guarding and preserving them. For He is the Most High the Supreme (in glory).
32:4 It is Allah Who has created the heavens and the earth and all between them in six Days and is firmly established on the Throne (of authority): ye have none besides Him to protect or intercede (for you): will ye not then receive admonition?
Non Muslims Set Up Intecessors For Themselves .Those Were Just Their Fancies.There Is No Intercession As Per Their Thinking.
6:94 "And behold! ye come to Us bare and alone as We created you for the first time: Ye have left behind you all (the favors) which We bestowed on you: We see not with you your intercessors whom ye thought to be partners in your affairs: so now all relations between you have been cut off and your (pet) fancies have left you in the lurch!"
7:53 Do they just wait for the final fulfillment of the event? On the day the event is finally fulfilled those who disregarded it before will say: "the apostles of our Lord did indeed bring true (tidings). Have we no intercessors now to intercede on our behalf? Or could we be sent back? Then should we behave differently from our behavior in the past." In fact they will have lost their souls and the things they invented will leave them in the lurch.
10:18 They serve besides Allah things that hurt them not nor profit them and they say: "These are our intercessors with Allah." Say: "Do ye indeed inform Allah of something He knows not in the heavens or on earth? Glory to Him! and far is He above the partners they ascribe (to Him)!"
39:43 What! Do they take for intercessors others besides Allah? Say: "Even if they have no power whatever and no intelligence?"
74:47 "Until there came to us (the Hour) that is certain." 48 Then will no intercession of (any) intercessors profit them.
43:86 And those whom they invoke besides Allah have no power of intercession; only he who bears witness to the Truth and they know (him).
2:48 Then guard yourselves against a day when one soul shall not avail another nor shall intercession be accepted for her nor shall compensation be taken from her nor shall anyone be helped (from outside).
2:123 Then guard yourselves against a day when one soul shall not avail another nor shall compensation be accepted from her nor shall intercession profit her nor shall anyone be helped (from outside).
2:254 O ye who believe! spend out of (the bounties) We have provided for you before the day comes when no bargaining (will avail) nor friendship nor intercession. Those who reject faith they are the wrong-doers.
36:23 "Shall I take (other) gods besides Him? If (Allah) Most Gracious should intend some adversity for me of no use whatever will be their intercession for me nor can they deliver me.
7:53 Do they just wait for the final fulfillment of the event? On the day the event is finally fulfilled those who disregarded it before will say: "the apostles of our Lord did indeed bring true (tidings). Have we no intercessors now to intercede on our behalf? Or could we be sent back? Then should we behave differently from our behavior in the past." In fact they will have lost their souls and the things they invented will leave them in the lurch.
26:99 " `And our seducers were only those who were steeped in guilt. 100 " `Now then we have none to intercede (for us)
Supplication Is Itself Worship
"And the mosques are for Allaah (Alone), so invoke not anyone along with Allaah"[al-Jinn 72:18]
Al-Tirmidhi HadithHadith 2232 Narrated byAnas ibn Malik Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) said, "Supplication is the pith of worship." Tirmidhi transmitted it.
Sunan of Abu-DawoodHadith 1474 Narrated byAn-Nu'man ibn Bashir The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: Supplication (du'a') is itself the worship. (He then recited:) "And your Lord said: Call on Me, I will answer you" (xI.60).
