Intercession
A descriptive term for pleading on behalf of others (Romans 8:26-27), kept distinct from شفاعت, the specific Islamic theological category of an authorized figure’s (a prophet’s, or in Sufi practice a wali’s) mediating intercession — Romans describes the Spirit’s own direct intercession, not a human or angelic mediator’s.
