Main Article Content
Abstract
Theology is the noblest and most revered of sciences, as an individual's faith is built upon correct doctrine. The study of religious principles forms the foundation of all sciences, dealing with the divine, prophetic revelations, and unseen entities. This discipline relies on rational and textual evidence. This research comprises an introduction, three sections, and a conclusion. The introduction defines intercession linguistically and terminologically. Section one addresses intercession in Islamic theology and scholars' perspectives. Section two introduces intercession in philosophical, Kharijite, and Mu'tazilite thought. Section three includes types and categories of intercession. The conclusion highlights key findings, followed by a list of primary sources and references.
