Islam is a teaching that originates from Allah SWT, the Greatest and Most Perfect Essence. Therefore the Qur'an is the primary source of Islamic teachings and has absolute truth. Some people only acknowledge this truth, but some do not know that one of the truths of the Qur'an can save them from the torments of hellfire later on the last day. Several opinions consider syafa’at as something contrary to Islamic teachings. However, some justify the existence of mediation but are still debating the forms of syafā’at itself, whether it is given to perpetrators of grave sins or to add to the true glory. The author is interested in researching the content of verses the Qur'an that relate to helping the day after, both from the intermediary of the Prophet Muhammad and from Allah SWT; this research aims to understand the content of the Qur'an as a guide and helper humankind so that it can realize the Qur'an in today's era.
This study uses library research with a comparative method (muqarin). The muqārin method is a method of explanation that comparatively explains the Qur'an; a comparison of the similarities and differences in the points of view of each commentator will be seen.
The results of this study indicate that:(1). The meaning of syafā’at is help given to other people who expect their service or effort to benefit or harm others, (2). In this case, there is a difference of opinion among some scholars. According to Ṭabaṭaba'i explained that syafā’at is given to someone blessed by Allah, namely a servant who obeys but is still returned to the law of al-wa'd wal wa'īd. Whereas according to Fakhruddin al-Razy that the true meaning of syafā’at is a request made by one person to another in order to give something to another person. In general, this definition given by ar-Razi is in line with the definition given by the scholars, the difference lies in the absence of consideration of ‘higher and lower positions’ between the intercessor and the interceded (3).The relevance of syafā’at in the future can be described as someone's belief in the Prophet Muhammad SAW as His messenger who provides help in the future. By obeying worship, doing everything ordered by the creator of the universe, namely Allah SWT, and staying away from everything Allah has forbidden, including grave sins, The right to give absolute syafā’at belongs to Allah SWT alone.
