Intercession

Shafa’ah is a live, contested category in Islamic theology - mainstream Sunni hadith affirms Muhammad’s ‘greater intercession’ for his ummah at Judgment, while some reform currents restrict all intercession to guard tawhid. Christ’s intercession (Romans 8:26-27, 34) can be a genuine bridge to the real question ‘who intercedes for me?’ but must be taught as exclusive and once-for-all, not one intercessor among several.
