All Authority Regarding Intercession Belongs to Allah:
In this verse, the rule regarding intercession has been made clear: all authority over intercession belongs to Allah, and only that one will be able to intercede whom Allah grants permission. Now, do you know whether Allah will even grant permission to those idols, their spirits, or the saints whom you have made or considered as intercessors? The second condition for intercession is that it will only be accepted for those for whom Allah wills. Can you tell whether Allah will grant anyone permission to intercede on your behalf? In other words, the intercession you are relying on—remove this thought from your heart. That is, if the intercessor cannot intercede of his own will unless Allah grants permission, then this is obedience to Allah’s command—where does his own authority come into it? On the Day of Judgment, some people will certainly intercede for others. But there are such restrictions on this that it becomes clear that all of this will be under Allah’s will. In this, the intercessors will also be bound by Allah’s command, and those for whom intercession is made will also be under Allah’s pleasure. So, all authority belongs to Allah, and no one else’s authority or preference will have any role in it.
