(The Myth of Intercession)
He knows their future and their past. They do not intercede, except for those already accepted by Him, and they are worried about their own necks.*
يَعلَمُ ما بَينَ أَيديهِم وَما خَلفَهُم وَلا يَشفَعونَ إِلّا لِمَنِ ارتَضىٰ وَهُم مِن خَشيَتِهِ مُشفِقونَ
ya’lamu maa baina aideehim wa maa khalfahum wa laa yashfa’oona illaa limanir tadaa wa hum min khash yatihee mushfiqoon
*21:28 The myth of intercession is Satan’s most effective bait (see Appendix 8).
