Intercessors Worshipped
They worship besides Allah things that neither harm nor benefit them, saying, “These are our intercessors with Allah.” Say, “Do you inform Allah of something He does not know in the heavens or the earth?”
7:192And cannot give them help, nor can they help themselves?
10:18They worship beside Allah that which neither hurteth them nor profiteth them, and they say: These are our intercessors with Allah. Say: Would ye inform Allah of (something) that He knoweth not in the heavens or in the earth? Praised be He and High Exalted above all that ye associate (with Him)!
10:106And cry not, beside Allah, unto that which cannot profit thee nor hurt thee, for if thou didst so then wert thou of the wrong-doers.
16:73And they worship beside Allah that which owneth no provision whatsoever for them from the heavens or the earth, nor have they (whom they worship) any power.
22:12He calleth, beside Allah, unto that which hurteth him not nor benefiteth him. That is the far error.
25:3Yet they choose beside Him other gods who create naught but are themselves created, and possess not hurt nor profit for themselves, and possess not death nor life, nor power to raise the dead.
25:55Yet they worship instead of Allah that which can neither benefit them nor hurt them. The disbeliever was ever a partisan against his Lord.
Yet they take others besides Allah as intercessors. Say, "Even though they have no power and no understanding?"
39:43Or choose they intercessors other than Allah? Say: What! Even though they have power over nothing and have no intelligence?
And it will be said to them, “Where are those you used to worship
26:92And it will be said unto them: Where is (all) that ye used to worship
Besides Allah? Can they help you or help themselves?”
26:93Instead of Allah? Can they help you or help themselves?
Remind them that every soul will be held accountable for what it has earned. They will have no protector or intercessor besides Allah, and even if they offer every ransom, it will not be accepted. These are the ones who are doomed by their own choices.
6:70And forsake those who take their religion for a pastime and a jest, and whom the life of the world beguileth. Remind (mankind) hereby lest a soul be destroyed by what it earneth. It hath beside Allah no protecting ally nor intercessor, and though it offer every compensation it will not be accepted from it. Those are they who perish by their own deserts. For them is drink of boiling water and a painful doom, because they disbelieved.
Now we have no intercessors.
26:100Now we have no intercessors
Nor a single close friend.
26:101Nor any loving friend.
Intercession will be of no benefit except for those whom He permits and whose words He approves.
20:109On that day no intercession availeth save (that of) him unto whom the Beneficent hath given leave and whose word He accepteth.
Those you call on besides Him don’t own even a speck.
35:13He maketh the night to pass into the day and He maketh the day to pass into the night. He hath subdued the sun and moon to service. Each runneth unto an appointed term. Such is Allah, your Lord; His is the Sovereignty; and those unto whom ye pray instead of Him own not so much as the white spot on a date-stone.
If you call on them, they can’t hear you. And even if they could, they wouldn’t respond.
35:14If ye pray unto them they hear not your prayer, and if they heard they could not grant it you. On the Day of Resurrection they will disown association with you. None can inform you like Him Who is Aware.
They will have no intercessors among those they once associated with Allah, and they will reject their former partners.
30:13There will be none to intercede for them of those whom they made equal with Allah. And they will reject their partners (whom they ascribed unto Him).
Their gods, whom they invoked besides Allah, did nothing to help them when your Lord’s command came. Instead, they only increased their ruin.
7:197They on whom ye call beside Him have no power to help you, nor can they help you, nor can they help themselves.
11:101We wronged them not, but they did wrong themselves; and their gods on whom they call beside Allah availed them naught when came thy Lord's command; they added to them naught save ruin.
21:43Or have they gods who can shield them from Us? They cannot help themselves nor can they be defended from Us.
Should I take others as gods besides Him? If the Merciful intends harm for me, their intercession won’t help me at all, nor can they save me.
36:23Shall I take (other) gods in place of Him when, if the Beneficent should wish me any harm, their intercession will avail me naught, nor can they save?
Then I would be clearly lost.
36:24Then truly I should be in error manifest.
“You have come to Us alone, just as We created you the first time, leaving behind everything We gave you. We do not see your intercessors, whom you claimed were partners with Allah. All ties between you have been severed, and what you assumed has abandoned you.”
6:94Now have ye come unto Us solitary as We did create you at the first, and ye have left behind you all that We bestowed upon you, and We behold not with you those your intercessors, of whom ye claimed that they possessed a share in you. Now is the bond between you severed, and that which ye presumed hath failed you.
