Summary of Sunni concepts
Intercession
Intercession in the afterlife is of two types
One of them concerns our Prophet Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace
The other is for all the prophets, the truthful ones, the martyrs, and the righteous
Our Prophet Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace
He has many intercessions
From her
His great intercession, may God bless him and grant him peace, for the people of the Resurrection in general
That God Almighty will come to judge and separate His servants
It is the one for which all the prophets apologized
It is the Praiseworthy Station that God promised His Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace
Among them is his intercession, may God bless him and grant him peace, for the people of Paradise by entering it
Among them is his intercession, may God bless him and grant him peace, for his uncle Abu Talib
That God would lighten his torment
As for the intercession of the prophets, the truthful ones, the martyrs and the righteous
It is their intercession for believers rather than unbelievers
God does not permit intercession for a polytheist
It is an intercession so that some of the disobedient believers who deserve it will not enter Hell
And intercession that those who entered it from among the disobedient believers will emerge from Hell
This intercession has two conditions
The first is God Almighty’s permission for the intercessor through his intercession
As God Almighty said, who can intercede with Him except with His permission?
The second is His satisfaction, Glory be to Him, on behalf of the one for whom intercession is made
As God Almighty says
He knows what is before them and what is behind them
They do not intercede except for those who are pleased
And out of fear of Him, they are compassionate
