Surah Zumar ayat 44 Tafsir Quran 39:44

﴿قُل لِّلَّهِ الشَّفَاعَةُ جَمِيعًا ۖ لَّهُ مُلْكُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ ۖ ثُمَّ إِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ﴾
[ الزمر: 44]

39:44 Say, "To Allah belongs [the right to allow] intercession entirely. To Him belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth. Then to Him you will be returned."

Say ‘All intercession belongs solely to God that is to say He has exclusive control over it and so none can intercede except with His permission. To Him belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth; then to Him you will be brought back’.

Say to them: To Allah alone belongs the command of permitting intercession by whom He will on behalf of whom He will. And it is only to Him that the absolute sovereignty of the heavens and the earth belongs, and in the end shall all of you return to Him

There is no Intercession except with Allah, and how the Idolators are filled with Disgust when Allah Allah condemns the idolators for taking intercessors besides Allah, namely the idols and false gods whom they have taken on the basis of their own whims, with no evidence or proof.
These idols are not able to do anything; they have no minds with which to think, and they cannot hear or see.
They are inanimate and are much worse off than animals.
Then Allah says: `Say -- O Muhammad -- to these people who claim that those whom they have taken as intercessors with Allah, that intercession is of no avail except for the one with whom Allah is pleased and to whom He has granted permission to intercede.
The whole matter rests with Him.' مَن ذَا الَّذِى يَشْفَعُ عِندَهُ إِلاَّ بِإِذْنِهِ ( Who is he that can intercede with Him except with His permission ) ( 2:255 ). لَّهُ مُلْكُ السَّمَـوَتِ وَالاٌّرْضِ ( His is the sovereignty of the heavens and the earth. ) means, He is the One Who is in control of all that. ثُمَّ إِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ ( Then to Him you shall be brought back. ) means, `on the Day of Resurrection, then He will judge between you with His justice, and He will reward or punish each person according to his deeds.' Then Allah condemns the idolators further: وَإِذَا ذُكِرَ اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ ( And when Allah Alone is mentioned ) means, when it is said there is no ( true ) God except Allah Alone, اشْمَأَزَّتْ قُلُوبُ الَّذِينَ لاَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالاٌّخِرَةِ ( the hearts of those who believe not in the Hereafter are filled with disgust ) Mujahid said, "Their hearts are filled with disgust means they recoil in horror." This is like the Ayah: إِنَّهُمْ كَانُواْ إِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمْ لاَ إِلَـهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ ( Truly, when it was said to them: "La ilaha illa Allah," they puffed themselves up with pride. ) ( 37:35 ) which means, they were too proud to follow it.
Their hearts could not accept anything good, and whoever cannot accept good will accept evil.
Allah says: وَإِذَا ذُكِرَ الَّذِينَ مِن دُونِهِ ( and when those besides Him are mentioned, ) meaning, the idols and false gods -- this was the view of Mujahid -- إِذَا هُمْ يَسْتَبْشِرُونَ ( behold, they rejoice! ) means, they feel happy.

(39:44) Say: 'All intercession lies with Allah. *63 His is the dominion of the heavens and the earth. And to Him will all of you be sent back.'

Say, "To Allah belongs [the right to meaning

*63) That is, " Not to speak of getting his intercession granted, no one has the power to stand before Allah as an intercessor.
The right to grant or not to grant anyone the permission to intercede with Him exclusively rests with Allah.
Then He may allow intercession for whomever He may please and forbid for whomever He may please.
" (For understanding the difference between the Islamic concept of intercession and the polytheistic concept, see Al-Baqarah: 255, Al-An`am: 51, Yunus: 3, 18, Hud: 105, Ar-Ra`d 11, An-Naml: 73, 84, Ta Ha: 109-110, Al-Anbiya': 23, Al-Hijr: 76, and the E.N.'s thereof and E.N.

( Say: Unto Allah belongeth all intercession ) intercession is in the Hands of Allah on the Day of Judgement. ( His is the Sovereignty ) the stores ( of the heavens ) rain ( and the earth ) vegetation. ( And afterward unto Him ye will be brought back ) in the Hereafter and will reward each according to his works.

Say: "To Allah belongs all intercession. His is the Sovereignty of the heavens and the earth, then to Him you shall be brought back."
