Intercession (Shafāʿah): a concept map

ʿAllāmah Ṭabāṭabāʾī shows that the Qur’an both denies intercession and affirms it, and explains how: every intercession belongs first to God, and to others only by His leave. This map follows him: what intercession is, the false intercession the Qur’an rejects, who intercedes and for whom, and the hope it gives. Each point opens his own words in the commentary.
