[quote][quote]........Click here to Read more about Sayyidun&#226; Hussain (radiyall&#226;hu ‘anhu) and the incidence of Karbala........[/quote][blue]Umarbaig,
That link is to an article by Shaikh Wiki which says among other things:[quote].....As a reward for Hussein's suffering, he will be allowed to intercede for the faithful on the day of judgment......[/quote][list]There is no intercession specifically for the family of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), rather that is something that may be granted to all those among the righteous, the martyrs and the scholars with whose intercession Allaah is pleased, whether they are among Ahl al-Bayt or are from among the ordinary people.[/list][list]A man’s righteous deeds may also intercede for him. But the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) will have the greatest share of intercession.[/list] Thus we may know the response to the extremists among the Raafidis who claim that intercession is only for the family of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). Rather it is stated in their books that Ahl al-Bayt are the ones who will admit people to Paradise and to Hell! This is just part of a lengthy list of the different types of exaggeration that they have, the source of which is their ignorance of the religion of Allaah, may He be exalted, and their keeping away from the texts of Revelation in the Qur’aan and Sunnah.

[b]Intercession on the Day of Resurrection is of two types: [/b]

1 – Intercession which will be accepted. This is intercession which is proven in the texts of sharee’ah. More details will be given below.

2 – Intercession which will be rejected. This is intercession which according to the texts of the Qur’aan and Sunnah is invalid and ineffective, as we shall see below.

[b]Accepted intercession is of various types:[/b][list]The greatest intercession, which is al-maqaam al-mahmood, which the earlier and later generations will ask the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) to intercede for them with their Lord so that He might relieve them of the horrors of the Day of Judgement. This has been explained above.[/list][list]Intercession for those among the monotheists who committed major sins and entered Hell, that they may be brought forth from it. It was narrated that Anas said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “My intercession will be for those among my ummah who committed major sins.” (Saheeh Sunan al-Tirmidhi, 1983).[/list][list]The intercession of the Messenger for people whose good deeds and bad deeds are equal, that they may enter Paradise, and for others who had been ordered to Hell, that they may not enter it.[/list][list]Intercession that some people may enter Paradise without being brought to account.[/list][list]Intercession of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) for his paternal uncle Abu Taalib, so that the torment of the Fire be reduced for him. This applies only in the case of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and his paternal uncle Abu Taalib.[/list][list]The intercession of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) that the believers might be granted permission to enter Paradise.[/list][b]With regard to the kind of intercession that will be rejected[/b], this is intercession that does not meet the conditions required of permission from Allaah or His being pleased (with the intercessor or the one for whom intercession is made), such as the intercession which the people of shirk believe that their gods will achieve. They only worship them because they believe that they will intercede for them with Allaah, and that they are mediators or intermediaries between them and Allaah[/blue]
