Intercession - an important note

A lot of people think that intercession on Yaum-al Qiyamah will mean automatic forgiveness.

Please remember the hadith about Ibrahim (alayhis salaam) intercession for his father on Yaum-al Qiyamah. Remember that Ibrahim (alayhis salaam) is the Khalil of Allah, for which beloved is not even a close translation, it is much more than that. His intercession for his father was not accepted by Allah.

The point is that the one being interceded for has to be worthy of forgiveness. Those hoping for intercession should remember this.
