The Difference Between the Great Intercession and Intercession for Entering Paradise
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The second question, O Abu Muhammad. The second question is about intercession. Yes, does intercession include entering, for example, entering Paradise? If the Messenger intercedes for people, all of them, the righteous and the sinners, is it not restricted to the righteous? Thank you.
Answer:
The Great Intercession is not exclusive to the believers; it is for the believers and the disbelievers in general, in order to separate the judgment upon them, in order to separate the judgment between them, and to relieve them from the standing on the Day of Judgment. As for entering Paradise, the Messenger does not intercede for entry into Paradise except for the believers, specifically, and he does not intercede for the disbelievers. So the intercession of the intercessors will not benefit them. He intercedes (peace and blessings be upon him) for the believer to enter Paradise, and he intercedes for those who entered the Fire from among the sinners of the monotheists to be brought out of it. Yes.
