Exceptions of the intercession

Do the Verses of exception, declare the intercession?

“And those whom they invoke besides ALLAH have no power of intercession only he who bears witness to the Truth, and they know (him).”Al  Zukuf 86

The verse gives a definition which specifies what will be allowed, only true testimony, and nobody outwards  of Allah has the power of intercession. The difference is clear between testimony and intercession, the first never changes the destiny of people, the word " those whom they invoke besides ALLAH " cancels any chance of the profit of the exception.

“Say: Call upon other (gods) whom ye fancy, besides ALLAH: they have no power not the weight of an atom in the heavens or on earth: no (sort of) share have they therein, nor is any of them a helper to ALLAH. 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 Judgment,  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'.”

sabaa 22-23

The Sabaa Verse 22 deny in general the object of association with Allah, neither in the heavens nor on earth,  in this life or in the word to come.

After this foreword the following verse 23 deny the intercession being an acceptable mask of the association with Allah.

 Some Moslems, believe that the exception allows them the chance of the intercession, in spite of his objection with the topic of the Verse. But the last scene that the verse describe is that of fright (not intercession) and the question of the non-believers: "'What is it that your Lord Commanded?" And the answer regretting under  the effect of fright:

 "'That which is true and just ", they admit the truth that they`ve denied before.

 “On that Day will they follow the caller (straight): no crookedness (can they show) him: all sounds Shall humble themselves in the presence of (ALLAH) Most Gracious: Nothing shalt thou hear but the tramp of their feet (as they march).

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.

He knows what (appears To His creatures as) before or after or behind them: but they shall not compass it with their knowledge.

(All) faces shall be humbled before (Him) the living, the Self Subsisting, Eternal: Hopeless indeed will be the man that carries iniquity (on his back).

But he who works deeds of righteousness, and has faith, will have no fear of harm nor of any curtailment (of what is his due).” Taha108-112

 The Day of Resurrection is a difficult day, nobody will be able to speak without the permission of Allah under the condition of saying the truth that Allah accepts.

Observing the divine qualifications in the Verse:

 The Most Gracious (quoted twice), He knows what (appears To His creatures as) before or after or behind them: but they shall not compass it with their knowledge the living, the Self Subsisting, Eternal.

 Which knowledge will thus invented intercessors  add to him? And who can require Allah`s mercy for people and Allah is the Most Gracious?

The Verse poses the Law of the judgement which contradict the intercession  idea:

Hopeless indeed will be the man that carries iniquity (on his back).

Without the least indication of a possible profit of the intercession.

 

“But he who works deeds of righteousness, and has faith, will have no fear of harm nor of any curtailment (of what is his due).”

Without the need of intercessor to require the justice of Allah to them.

 Noting the resemblance to the Divine  qualifications in the Verse 255 Albaqara in the field of:

" without its permission "indicating the absolute mercy, and knowledge  of Allah against the absence and the ignorance of the invented intercessors, what cancels the intercessor need except to allah.

 “He knows what is before them, and what is behind them, and they offer no intercession Expect for those who are acceptable, and they stand in awe and reverence of His (glory).” Alanbeyaa 28

This Verse don`t confirm the intercession in favour of those who are acceptable, which will not need  intercessors to request  forgiveness, mercy,and justice, of Allah for them, but the Verse deny the allegation that the Prophets will intercede in favour of those that Allah didn`t approved.
