intense thirst, the tongues will dry up and become like thorns. Everyone will only be worried about themselves and there will be no one to turn to in this difficult situation.

It is stated in the 30^th verse of Surah ꜤAbasa:

یَوۡمَ  یَفِرُّ  الۡمَرۡءُ مِنۡ  اَخِیۡہِ (ۙ۳۴) وَ اُمِّہٖ  وَ اَبِیۡہِ (ۙ۳۵) وَ صَاحِبَتِہٖ  وَ بَنِیۡہِ (ؕ۳۶)

On that Day, man will flee from his (own) brother. And (from his) mother and father. And from (his) wife and sons.

In such dire circumstances, when we will not find anyone to help us and when all the noble Prophets عَـلَـيْـهِمُ الـصَّلٰوةُ وَالـسَّـلَام will say,

اِذْھَبُوْااِلٰی غَیْرِیْ

 “Go to someone else,”

there will only be one person who will change our hopelessness into hope, the one who will become a support for us, and on whose blessed lips will be the words: اَنَالَھَا “I am for the intercession.” That blessed individual will be the beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم; the one who will prostrate before His Lord and intercede for his sinful Ummah.

Sayyidunā Ruwayfiʾ b. Thābit رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ narrates that the noble Prophet    صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said, “Whosoever recites this ṣalāt:

اَللّٰھُمَّ صَلِّ عَلٰی مُحَمَّدٍ وَّاَنْزِلْہُ الْمَقْعَدَ الْمُقَرَّبَ عِنْدَکَ یَوْمَ الْقِیَامَۃ

my intercession will become wājib for him.”^[1]
