Tafheem-ul-Quran (En) - Az-Zumar : 44
قُلْ لِّلّٰهِ الشَّفَاعَةُ جَمِیْعًا١ؕ لَهٗ مُلْكُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الْاَرْضِ١ؕ ثُمَّ اِلَیْهِ تُرْجَعُوْنَ
Say, "Intercession is wholly in the power of Allah: 63 His is the Kingdom of the heavens and the earth. Then, to Him you will be returned. "
63 That is, "Not to speak of getting his intercession granted, no one has the power to stand before Allah as an intercessor. The right to grant or not to grant anyone the permission to intercede with Him exclusively rests with Allah. Then He may allow intercession for whomever He may please and forbid for whomever He may please. " (For understanding the difference between the Islamic concept of intercession and the polytheistic concept, see Al-Baqarah: 255, Al-An`am: 51, Yunus: 3, 18, Hud: 105, Ar-Ra`d 11, An-Naml: 73, 84, Ta Ha: 109-110, Al-Anbiya': 23, Al-Hijr: 76, and the E.N.'s thereof and E.N. 40 of Saba.
