ولا تنفع الشفاعة عنده الا لمن اذن له حتى اذا فزع عن قلوبهم قالوا ماذا قال ربكم قالوا الحق وهو العلي الكبير

"No intercession can avail In His Presence, except for those For whom He has granted Permission. So far (is this The case) that, when terror Is removed from their hearts (At the Day of Judgment, then) Will they say, "What is it That your Lord commanded?" They will say, "That which is True and just; and He is The Most High, Most Great."
