The concept of shafā‘at (intercession: divine permission granted to chosen servants to plead on behalf of believers) occupies a profound place in Islamic theology, offering hope, spiritual comfort, and a deeper understanding of God’s mercy. Shafa’at, Intercession explores this essential doctrine with clarity, grounding its meaning in scriptural evidence and the teachings of the Ahl al-Bayt.
About the Book
Shafa’at, Intercession provides a structured and comprehensive introduction to the theological foundations of intercession in Islam. Drawing from classical riwāyah (narrative transmission: preserved reports documenting sayings and teachings of the Prophet and the Imams), Qur’anic verses, and theological discourse, the book explains how intercession reflects both divine justice and divine mercy.
The text clarifies the categories of intercessors—such as the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him and his family), the Imams, and righteous servants—while emphasizing that all intercession occurs solely by God’s permission. It also addresses misconceptions, illustrating that shafā‘at is neither automatic forgiveness nor a substitute for righteous action, but a spiritual mechanism that inspires believers to seek nearness to God through faith, good deeds, and loyalty to His chosen guides.

Environmental Protection in Islamic Shari’ah

This text analyses the controversial issue of companions (Sahaba) discussing first the definition of the term and then the concept of justice of the companions in light of verses of the Holy Qur’an and Ahadith.

Justice of the Companions of the Holy Prophet (saww)

Some of the controversial issues have divided the Muslims. These issues have been misused by the enemies of Islam to divide the Muslims and to weaken them. Therefore in order to unite the Muslims and to defend the boundaries of Islam it is necessary to clear the misunderstandings regarding these differences. In sorting out these issues we have been ordered to confine ourselves within some limits. As the Almighty Allah says: ‘And obey Allah and His Apostle and do not quarrel for then you will be weak in hearts and your power will depart...’ (Surah Anfal 8 : 46) It is a must for us today, and for all times to refer to Quran and Hadith in case of any difference of opinion. As the Almighty Allah says: ‘...then if you quarrel about anything, refer it to Allah and the Apostle...’ (Surah Nisa 4 : 59).

In these series we shall refer to the Quran and Hadith to guide us on the correct path in various controversial topics...
