The Relationship between Shafa ah (Intercession)and Believer's Spiritual Station

Intercession in the hereafter is one of the important doctrinal issues in Islam. The question that arises here is: Does، according to the Qur’an، intercession and state of being interceded in the hereafter have an ontological relationship with the individual''s spiritual station in the idiomatic sense in common theoretical mysticism. Using a theoretical approach and documentary method، the present paper divides Qur’anic verses about intercession into eight groups and studies the relationship between them. Finally، the research findings show that intercession، according to Qur’an، is among the ontological effects of spiritual stations the common sense in theoretical mysticism which a faithful individual attains through the will of God by means of performing divine acts of worship، such as night prayer. Furthermore، there is a direct ontological relationship between the state of being interceded and the idiomatic spiritual station. In other words، an individual ontologically reaches a higher spiritual station than the former one after having been interceded.
