Intercession of the Day of Resurrection

 From Allah´s honour to those who seek nearness to and worship Him is that He will accept their intercession and intervention on the Day of Resurrection to save some of the accupants of the Hellfire. We have previously quoted the hadith on the types of intercession and conditions for their acceptance. We also mentioned that on of these conditions is Allah´s permission for the intercessor to intercede. In the light of Shari´ah evidence, we deduce that the legitimate intercessors are:

The Prophets

The Prophets are the formost friends of Allah among mankind Allah chose them to bring people out of the darkness (of misguidance) to the light of (faith). They occupy a different status with Alah as He honours and raises whomever He wills. Allah says:

´´Those Messengers! We preferred some to others; to some of them allah spoke (directly); others He raised to degree (of honour).´´ (Al-Baqarah: 253)

Salvation

 None will be saved on the Day of Resurrection except he who used to worship alah alone with Whom there is no associate. As for the other gods, they will lead their adherents into the Fire.

Voluntary Fasting

 Fasting is one of the major acts of worship with which Allah redeems the fasting person from the Fire. The Prophet salla alayhi wa sallam said: ´´Fasting is a shield against the Fire (of Hell) just like the shield one of you would use during fighting.´´80 The supererogatory fasting has its virtue. The Prophet salla alayhi wa sallam said: ´´He who observes fast for a day in the path of Allah, He will remove his face from the Hell due to (the fast of) that day to the extent of seventy years.´ distance.´´81 The phrase ´in the path of Allah´ could either mean fasting a day sincerely, intending the pleasure of Allah; or fasting in the course of a military expedition in the path of Allah.

Backbiter and Tale-Bearer

 A backbiter is the individual who indugles in backiting which involves mentioning about your brother that which he would detest. The tale-bearer is the person who varries bad tale among the people in order to cause disaffection among them. These sins cause pervading tribulations, and enormous corruption also stems from them. Their perpetrators are among the worst of people and due to their capricious tongue, they speak as dictated by their whims and desires.  Their situation at the time of resurrection will be appalling as the Prophet salla alayhi wa sallam mentioned, Whoever eats the flesh of his brother in the world (i.e. bacjbites), he will be presented to him on the Day of Resurrection and it will be said to him, Eat his dead as you have eaten him alive. He would eat him and he would scowl and scream.
