The philosophy of intercessionThe meaning of intercession

If we take a broad minded look we will learn that according to the external signs intercession has such a wide effect that includes the entire universe because the nurturing of the weak creatures, the presence of the powerful creatures in their support is evident every in this creative and created universe and the causes and affects.

 When the seed of any plant splits and a sapling raises its head then the earth provides it with sustenance, the sun gives it adequate heat and energy, the clouds bless it with drops of rain so that this weak sapling gets stronger and cross all the hurdles to grow into a strong tree, and its branches are full of flowers. This is a clear evidence of creative or originating intercession.

The presence of the parents with a weak infant, the attendance of a gardener near the plant and the involvement of teacher with infants who are yet to read and write all examples of creative intercession.

The sunshine, the breeze, the rain drops and the earth do not help dead wood because it is dead wood and its fate is to burn. They help only the freshly emerging saplings and weak plants that have the capacity to growl

.When we take this issue from the creative or originating intercession to the manifest and apply it to the sinners and the intercession of the apostles and saints then we realize the truth about the Qura’nic intercession and we get the answer to the questions raised by the ignorant. The educative angle of intercession becomes very clear to us.

The notable point in the sayings of Amirul Muminin in Nahjul Balagha is one that highlights this meaning in a very beautiful style. He says:

“The one who intercedes is like the wings of the one who ask for help” (1)

The above mentioned verses are the living proof because the enumerate some attributes of every one who benefits from intercession based on positive talent ands capacity though this may be due to some righteous deeds.
