He knows what is before them and what is behind them...

He knows what is before them and what is behind them, and they cannot comprehend anything out of His knowledge except what He pleases, His knowledge extends over the heavens and the earth, and the preservation of them both tires Him not, and He is the Most High, the Great. \n There are several other Verses which suggest use of \u2018Wasillah,\u2019 i.e. \n On that day shall no intercession avail except of him whom the Beneficent God allows and whose word He is pleased with.

(20:109) \n And intercession will not avail aught with Him except of him whom He permits . (34:23) \n And how many an angel is there in the heavens whose intercession does not avail at all except after Allah has given permission to whom He pleases and chooses. (53:26) \n \u2026 And they do not intercede except for him whom He approves \u2026 (21:28) \n And those whom they call upon besides Him have no authority for intercession, but he who bears witness of the truth and they know (him ).

(43:86) \n We did not send a messenger but that he should be obeyed by Allah\u2019s permission; and had they, when they had done injustice to themselves, come to you and asked Allah\u2019s forgiveness; and the messenger (also) had asked pardon for them , surely, they would have found Allah oft-returning, merciful. (4:64) \n Thus, it has been made clear that the presence of the Prophet of Allah -saww has been a way for the people to seek forgiveness (through him -asws ).
