(Satan’s Most Effective Bait:
The Myth of Intercession*)
Whether you ask forgiveness for them, or do not ask forgiveness for them – even if you ask forgiveness for them seventy times – God will not forgive them. This is because they disbelieve in God and His messenger. God does not guide the wicked people.
استَغفِر لَهُم أَو لا تَستَغفِر لَهُم إِن تَستَغفِر لَهُم سَبعينَ مَرَّةً فَلَن يَغفِرَ اللَّهُ لَهُم ذٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُم كَفَروا بِاللَّهِ وَرَسولِهِ وَاللَّهُ لا يَهدِى القَومَ الفٰسِقينَ
istaghfir lahum aw laa tastaghfir lahum in tastaghfir lahum sab’eena marratan falany yaghfiral laahu lahum; zaalika bi annahum kafaroo billaahi wa Rasoolih; wallaahu laa yahdil qawmal faasiqeen
*9:80 If Muhammad could not intercede on behalf of his own uncles and cousins, what makes strangers who never met him think that he will intercede on their behalf? Abraham could not intercede on behalf of his father, nor could Noah intercede on behalf of his son (11:46 & 60:4).
