It is You we worship, and upon You we call for help.
Does the Qur'an allow asking saints for help?
In short
- The verses usually cited are: it is You we worship, and upon You we call for help (1:5); those called on besides Him have no power to relieve adversity nor to change it (17:56); those who take guardians besides Him say they worship them only that they may bring them nearer to God (39:3); those who worship what neither harms nor benefits them call these their intercessors with God (10:18); seek the means of approach to Him, where Rodwell has union with Him and Sale a near conjunction (5:35); and had those who wronged themselves come to the Messenger and prayed for God's forgiveness, and the Messenger prayed for their forgiveness, they would have found God relenting, where Pickthall has them ask forgiveness of the messenger (4:64).
- The text does not say: that a saint is one to call on for help; Pickthall alone uses the word, and at 17:56 it is his own bracket; nor whether coming to the Messenger, at 4:64, holds after his death.
- The rest comes from: outside the Qur'an; no source for it is named here.

Key findingsEditorial
One finding for each passage this study carries, in the order the study reads them. Each is the reason that passage was signed into the study, in full and unedited - including, where the renderings disagree, the disagreement.
- 01 1:5 It is You we worship, and upon You we call for help
- 02 17:56 Those called on besides God have no power to remove harm or change it; Pickthall's own bracket names them saints and angels
- 03 39:3 Those who take protectors besides God say: we worship them only that they bring us near to God
- 04 10:18 They say: these are our intercessors with God
- 05 5:35 Those who believe are told to seek the means of approach to God; Rodwell has union with Him and Sale a near conjunction with Him
- 06 4:64 Had those who wronged themselves come to the Messenger and asked God's forgiveness, and the Messenger asked forgiveness for them, they would have found God relenting; Pickthall has them ask forgiveness of the messenger
In plain wordsEditorial written by the editors, not a translation
In the opening surah the help is asked of God: at 1:5 Itani has "It is You we worship, and upon You we call for help", and Pickthall's "(alone)" is his own bracket.
At 17:56 those called on besides God are said to have no power: Pickthall has "Cry unto those (saints and angels) whom ye assume (to be gods) beside Him, yet they have no power to rid you of misfortune nor to change". The words in his brackets are his own; the other four do not name saints.
At 39:3 and 10:18 the text gives the words of those who call on others: Pickthall has "We worship them only that they may bring us near unto Allah" at 39:3, and at 10:18 Itani has "These are our intercessors with God."
At 5:35 those who believe are told to seek a way to God, and the renderings differ on what is sought: Itani has "seek the means of approach to Him" and Pickthall "seek the way of approach unto Him", where Rodwell has "Desire union with Him" and Sale "earnestly desire a near conjunction with Him". The verse does not say what the means is.
At 4:64 the text speaks of coming to the Messenger: Itani has "Had they, when they wronged themselves, come to you, and prayed for God's forgiveness, and the Messenger had prayed for their forgiveness, they would have found God Relenting and Merciful". Pickthall has "asked forgiveness of the messenger", where the other four have the Messenger ask pardon for them. The verse does not say whether it holds after the Prophet's death.
Only Pickthall uses the word saint, and at the verse carried here, 17:56, it is his own bracket. What it says of help and of those called on besides God is in the verses above.
Scope of this study
This platform shows the verse, its easy-read line, its translations, a plain-words reading, and each verse among its neighbours. It does not supply occasion of revelation, interpretation (tafsir) or history, and it never invents them.
What this rests on
Opens with 1:5, widening across 6 passages in all.
Easy-read
Easy-read is a simplified pronunciation, not authoritative — a rule-by-rule romanisation, not a reading. Each verse ends in its pause form, as it is said when you stop there. Pauses inside a verse and other tajwid rules are not shown. It is derived from the Tanzil Simple edition, while the Arabic above is the Uthmani edition; both are cleared, but they are not the same edition and their orthography differs.

Sag: „Ruft diejenigen an, die ihr außer Ihm angebt; so vermögen sie von euch das Unheil weder hinwegzunehmen noch abzuwenden.“
Πες (ω, Προφήτη, στους ειδωλολάτρες): «Καλέστε εκείνους που ισχυρίζεστε (ότι είναι θεοί) εκτός Αυτού, δε θα μπορέσουν ούτε να απομακρύνουν κανένα κακό από σας (που σας έπληξε), ούτε να το μεταφέρουν (από σας σε κάποιον άλλον)!»

Sema: Waombeni hao mnaowadai badala yake Yeye. Hawawezi kuwaondolea madhara, wala kuyaweka pengine.
Säg: ”Åkalla dem ni påstår finns vid hans sida! De förmår varken lyfta det onda från er eller överföra det [till någon annan].”
De ki: Allah’tan başka (ibadet edilen ilah olduğunu) ileri sürdüklerinize dua edin bakalım, sizin sıkıntınızı ne giderebilirler ne de değiştirebilirler.
کہہ دیجیئے کہ اللہ کے سوا جنہیں تم معبود سمجھ رہے ہو انہیں پکارو لیکن نہ تو وه تم سے کسی تکلیف کو دور کرسکتے ہیں اور نہ بدل سکتے ہیں.

Vërtet, vetëm Allahut i takon adhurimi i çiltër. Ndërkaq, ata që marrin për mbrojtës të tjerë pos Tij, duke thënë: "Ne i adhurojmë ata vetëm që të na afrojnë me Allahun", (le ta dinë se) Allahu do të gjykojë mes tyre lidhur me atë për të cilën kundërshtoheshin. Allahu nuk e udhëzon atë që është gënjeshtar dhe tepër mohues.
জেনে রেখো, (শিরকমুক্ত) বিশুদ্ধ ইবাদাত-আনুগত্য আল্লাহর জন্যই। আর যারা আল্লাহর পরিবর্তে অন্যদেরকে (২) অভিভাবকরূপে গ্রহণ করে, তারা বলে: ‘আমরা কেবল এজন্যই তাদের ‘ইবাদাত করি যে, তারা আমাদেরকে আল্লাহর নৈকট্য অর্জন করিয়ে দিবে।’ যে বিষয়ে তারা মতভেদ করছে আল্লাহ নিশ্চয় সে ব্যাপারে তাদের মধ্যে ফয়সালা করে দিবেন। নিশ্চয় আল্লাহ চরম মিথ্যাবাদী ও কাফিরকে হিদায়াত দেন না। (২) তারা মূর্তি, দেবতা ও তাগূতকে অভিভাবক মনে করে।
Iskreno ispovijedanje vjere dug je prema Allahu! A oni koji pored Njega uzimaju zaštitnike govoreći: "Mi ih obožavamo samo zato da bi nas što više Allahu približili", Allah će njima, zaista, presuditi o onome u čemu su se oni razilazili. Allah nikako neće uputiti na Pravi put onoga ko je lažljivac i nevjernik.

ჭეშმარიტად, სუფთა (მრავალღმერთიანობისგან თავისუფალი) რწმენა ალლაჰისაა! ისინი კი, რომელთაც აიყვანეს მის გარდა მფარველები (ამბობენ): «არ ვეთაყვანებით მათ, თუ არა მხოლოდ იმიტომ, რომ დაგვაახლოვონ ალლაჰთან უფრო მეტად». ჭეშმარიტად, ალლაჰი განსჯის მათ შორის იმას, რაშიც ვერ თანხმდებოდნენ. ალლაჰი არ დაადგენს სწორ გზაზე იმას, ვინც მატყუარა, უმადურია.
Sicherlich, Allah gehört die aufrichtige Religion. Diejenigen aber, die sich anstatt Seiner Schutzherren nehmen (, sagen:) „Wir dienen ihnen nur, damit sie uns Zutritt in Allahs Nähe verschaffen“ -, wahrlich, Allah wird zwischen ihnen richten über das, worüber sie uneinig sind. Wahrlich, Allah leitet nicht recht, wer ein Lügner und beharrlicher Ungläubiger ist.
Πράγματι, στον Αλλάχ και μόνο ανήκει η αγνή θρησκεία (η πλήρης υπακοή και η λατρεία). Όσο γι' εκείνους που παίρνουν άλλους ως κύριους (και θεούς) εκτός από Αυτόν, [λέγοντας], «Δεν τους λατρεύουμε παρά μόνο για να μας φέρουν πιο κοντά στον Αλλάχ», πράγματι, ο Αλλάχ θα κρίνει μεταξύ τους σ' αυτό στο οποίο διαφωνούν. Πράγματι, ο Αλλάχ δεν καθοδηγεί κανέναν που είναι ψεύτης και επίμονος άπιστος.
सुन लो! ख़ालिस (विशुद्ध) धर्म केवल अल्लाह ही के लिए है। तथा जिन लोगों ने अल्लाह के सिवा अन्य संरक्षक बना रखे हैं (वे कहते हैं कि) हम उनकी पूजा केवल इसलिए करते हैं कि वे हमें अल्लाह से क़रीब[1] कर दें। निश्चय अल्लाह उनके बीच उसके बारे में निर्णय करेगा, जिसमें वे मतभेद कर रहे हैं। निःसंदेह अल्लाह उसे मार्गदर्शन नहीं करता, जो झूठा, बड़ा नाशुक्रा हो।
Non è ad Allāh la fede sincera? E quelli che hanno protettori all’infuori di Lui dicono: «Li adoriamo solo perché ci avvicinino ad Allāh». In verità Allāh giudicherà tra loro riguardo ciò su cui sono discordi. In verità Allāh non guida chi è bugiardo e miscredente.
3. Tikrai religija (t. y. garbinimas ir paklusimas) yra vien tik dėl Allaho. O tie, kurie priskiria Aulija (saugotojus, padėjėjus, ponus, dievybes) Jam (sako): „Mes garbiname juos tik dėl to, kad jie priartintų mus prie Allaho.“ Iš tiesų, Allahas teis juos pagal tai, dėl ko jie ginčijosi. Tikrai, Allahas neveda to, kuris yra melagis, ir netikintysis.
Dhaga’aa! Amantiin qulqulluun kan Allaah qofa. Warri Isa malee gargaartota godhatan “gara Rabbiitti akka sirritti nu dhiheessaniif malee isaan hin gabbarru” (jedhu). Rabbiin waan isaan isa keessatti wal dhabaa turan gidduu isaaniitti ni murteessa. Rabbiin nama kijibaa, akkaan kafaraa ta’e hin qajeelchu. [2]
Знайте: Аллаху принадлежит чистая религия! А те, которые избрали себе покровителей помимо Него, [говорят]: «Мы поклоняемся им лишь для того, чтобы они приблизили нас к Аллаху как можно ближе». Воистину, Аллах рассудит между ними в том, в чём они пребывают в разногласиях. Воистину, Аллах не наставляет того, кто лжив и упорно неблагодарен.
А зар чисто веровање не припада само Аллаху? А они који поред Њега узимају заштитнике говоре: „Ми их обожавамо само зато да би нас што више приближили Аллаху.“ Аллах ће њима, заиста, да пресуди о ономе у чему су се они разилазили. Аллах никако неће да упути на Прави пут онога ко је лажљивац и неверник.
Hakika Dini Safi ni ya Mwenyezi Mungu tu. Na wale wanaowafanya wenginewe kuwa ni walinzi wakisema: Sisi hatuwaabudu ila wapate kutujongeza tu kumkaribia Mwenyezi Mungu - Hakika Mwenyezi Mungu atahukumu baina yao katika wanayohitalifiana. Hakika Mwenyezi Mungu hamwongoi aliye mwongo kafiri.
Ja, all dyrkan tillkommer enbart Gud. Ändå finns de som dyrkar andra vid hans sida [och påstår]: ”Vi dyrkar dem bara för att de ska föra oss närmare Gud.” Gud ska förvisso döma mellan dem i deras tvist. Han vägleder inte den inbitne lögnaren och den som envist förkastar tron.
İyi bilin ki, halis din yalnız Allah’ındır. O’ndan başka veliler edinenler, : “Biz bunlara ancak bizleri Allah’a yaklaştırsınlar diye ibadet ediyoruz” (derler.) Şüphesiz Allah, ayrılığa düştükleri şeyler konusunda aralarında hüküm verecektir. Şüphesiz Allah, yalancı ve nankör olanları doğru yola iletmez.
خبردار! اللہ تعالیٰ ہی کے لئے خالص عبادت کرنا ہے[1] اور جن لوگوں نے اس کے سوا اولیا بنا رکھے ہیں (اور کہتے ہیں) کہ ہم ان کی عبادت صرف اس لئے کرتے ہیں کہ یہ (بزرگ) اللہ کی نزدیکی کے مرتبہ تک ہماری رسائی کرا دیں[2]، یہ لوگ جس بارے میں اختلاف کر رہے ہیں اس کا (سچا) فیصلہ اللہ (خود) کرے گا[3]۔ جھوٹے اور ناشکرے (لوگوں) کو اللہ تعالیٰ راه نہیں دکھاتا.[4]

და ისინი თაყვანს სცემენ ალლაჰის გარდა იმას, რაც ვერ ავნებს მათ და ვერც სარგებელს მოუტანს, და ამბობენ: «ესენი ჩვენი შუამდგომლები არიან ალლაჰთან!» უთხარი მათ (ო, მოციქულო): «ნუთუ ალლაჰს ატყობინებთ იმას, რასაც მან არ უწყის ცათა შინა და მიწაზე? წმინდა და დიდებულია იგი იმ ყველაფერზე, რასაც მას უთანაზიარებენ!»
Und sie dienen anstatt Allahs, was ihnen weder schadet noch nützt und sagen: „Das sind unsere Fürsprecher bei Allah.“ Sag: „Wollt ihr denn Allah kundtun, was Er nicht kennt, weder in den Himmeln noch auf der Erde?“ Gepriesen sei Er und erhaben ist Er über das, was sie (Ihm) beigesellen.
Λατρεύουν (οι ειδωλολάτρες), εκτός του Αλλάχ, αυτά (τα είδωλα) που δεν μπορούν ούτε να τους βλάψουν, ούτε να τους ωφελήσουν. Και λένε: «Αυτά (τα είδωλα) είναι οι μεσολαβητές μας ενώπιον του Αλλάχ.» Πες (ω, Προφήτη): «Πληροφορείτε τον Αλλάχ για κάτι (σχετικά με τα είδωλά σας) που δεν το ξέρει ούτε στους ουρανούς, ούτε στη Γη; Δόξα σ' Αυτόν, είναι πολύ Ανώτερος από ό,τι Του αποδίδουν (από εταίρους στη λατρεία και από ό,τι ψεύδη μηχανεύονται).
और वे लोग अल्लाह को छोड़कर उनको पूजते हैं, जो न उन्हें कोई हानि पहुँचाते हैं और न उन्हें कोई लाभ पहुँचाते हैं और कहते हैं कि ये लोग अल्लाह के यहाँ हमारे सिफ़ारिशी हैं। आप कह दें : क्या तुम अल्लाह को ऐसी बात की सूचना दे रहे हो, जिसे वह न आकाशों में जानता है और न धरती में? वह पवित्र है और उससे बहुत ऊँचा है, जिसे वे साझीदार ठहराते हैं।
E adorano all’infuori di Allāh ciò che non può far loro del male né del bene, e dicono: «Questi sono quelli che intercedono presso Allāh». Di’: «Voi volete informare Allāh di ciò che Lui non sa né in cielo né in terra? Gloria Sua! Lui è molto al di sopra di ciò a cui voi Lo associate!»
18. Ir jie garbina šalia Allaho daiktus, kurie nei jiems kenkia, nei duoda naudos ir sako jie: „Tai yra mūsų tarpininkai su Allahu.“ Sakyk: „Ar jūs sakote Allahui tai, ko Jis nežino danguose ir žemėje?“ Garbinamas ir Išaukštintas yra Jis virš viso to, ką jie priskiria (Jam) kaip partnerius!“

Они поклоняются помимо Аллаха тому, что не приносит им ни вреда, ни пользы, и говорят: «Эти — наши заступники перед Аллахом». Скажи: «Неужели вы сообщаете Аллаху о том, чего Он не знает на небесах и на земле? Пречист Он и превыше того, что они придают Ему в сотоварищи».
Они, поред Аллаха, обожавају оно што не може нити да им науди нити да им какву корист донесе, и говоре: „Ови се за нас заузимају код Аллаха.“ Реци: „Зар да Аллаха обавештавате да на небесима и на Земљи постоји нешто што Он не зна да постоји?!“ Узвишен је Он и врло високо у односу на оне које Му придружују.
Nao wanaabudu badala ya Mwenyezi Mungu wale wasiowadhuru wala kuwanufaisha, na wanasema, “Hawa ndio waombezi wetu kwa Mwenyezi Mungu!” Sema, “Je, mnamwambia Mwenyezi Mungu yale asiyoyajua ya katika mbingu wala katika ardhi? Ametakasika na ametukuka mbali na hao wanaomshirikisha nao.”
Vid sidan av Gud dyrkar de sådant som varken kan skada eller gagna dem och säger: ”Dessa är våra medlare inför Gud!” Säg: ”Underrättar ni Gud om något han inte vet i himlarna eller på jorden?” Högt upphöjd är han, över vad de sätter vid hans sida!
Onlar Allah ile birlikte kendilerine ne bir zarar ne de bir fayda vermeyecek olan şeylere ibadet ederler. Bir de: “Bunlar Allah katında bizim şefâatçilerimizdir” derler. De ki: Allah’a, göklerde ve yerde bilmediği bir şeyi mi haber veriyorsunuz? Allah, onların şirk koşmalarından münezzehtir ve çok yücedir.
اور یہ لوگ اللہ کے سوا [1] ایسی چیزوں کی عبادت کرتے ہیں جو نہ ان کو ضرر پہنچا سکیں [2]اور نہ ان کو نفع پہنچا سکیں اور کہتے ہیں کہ یہ اللہ کے پاس ہمارے سفارشی ہیں[3]۔ آپ کہہ دیجئے کہ کیا تم اللہ کو ایسی چیز کی خبر دیتے ہو جو اللہ تعالیٰ کو معلوم نہیں، نہ آسمانوں میں اور نہ زمین میں[4]، وه پاک اور برتر ہے ان لوگوں کے شرک سے .[5]

Who does greater wrong than someone who fabricates lies about God, or denies His revelations? The guilty will never prosper.
Who doeth greater wrong than he who inventeth a lie concerning Allah and denieth His revelations? Lo! the guilty never are successful
Who is more unjust than he who forges against God a lie, or says His signs are lies? verily, the sinners shall not prosper
And who is more unjust than he who coineth a lie against God, or treateth his signs as lies? Surely the wicked shall not prosper
And who is more unjust than he who deviseth a lie against God, or accuseth his signs of falsehood? Surely the wicked shall not prosper

The translators word this verse differently
Mankind was a single community; then they differed. Were it not for a prior decree from your Lord, the matters over which they had disputed would have been settled.
Mankind were but one community; then they differed; and had it not been for a word that had already gone forth from thy Lord it had been judged between them in respect of that wherein they differ
People were but one nation once, then they disagreed; and had it not been for thy Lord's word already passed, there would have been decided between them that concerning which they disagreed
Men were of one religion only: then they fell to variance: and had not a decree (of respite) previously gone forth from thy Lord, their differences had surely been decided between them
Men were professors of one religion only, but they dissented therefrom; and if a decree had not previously issued from thy Lord, deferring their punishment, verily the matter had been decided between them, concerning which they disagreed
وَيَقُولُونَ لَوْلَآ أُنزِلَ عَلَيْهِ ءَايَةٌ مِّن رَّبِّهِۦ فَقُلْ إِنَّمَا ٱلْغَيْبُ لِلَّهِ فَٱنتَظِرُوٓا۟ إِنِّى مَعَكُم مِّنَ ٱلْمُنتَظِرِينَ

And they will say: If only a portent were sent down upon him from his Lord! Then say, (O Muhammad): The Unseen belongeth to Allah. So wait! Lo! I am waiting with you
They say, 'Why is not a sign sent down upon him from his Lord?' Say, 'The unseen is only God's; but wait ye for a while, verily, I with you am one of those who wait
They say: "Unless a sign be sent down to him from his Lord. . . ." But SAY: The hidden is only with God: wait therefore: I truly will be with you among those who wait

Если бы они, когда поступили несправедливо с самими собой, пришли к тебе, попросили прощения у Аллаха, и если бы Посланник попросил прощения для них, они бы непременно нашли Аллаха принимающим покаяние, милующим.

Om de, efter att ha gjort sig själva orätt, hade kommit till dig och bett Gud om förlåtelse, och sändebudet hade bett om förlåtelse för dem, skulle de ha funnit att Gud ständigt godtar ånger och ständigt är barmhärtig.
Biz, her bir peygamberi ancak, Allah’ın izniyle kendilerine itaat edilsin diye gönderdik. Eğer onlar, nefislerine zulmettikleri zaman, sana gelip Allah’tan bağışlanma dilemiş olsalardı, Peygamber de onlar için bağışlanma dileseydi, elbette Allah’ı tövbeleri kabul eden ve çok merhametli olarak bulurlardı.
ہم نے ہر ہر رسول کو صرف اسی لئے بھیجا کہ اللہ تعالیٰ کے حکم سے اس کی فرمانبرداری کی جائے اور اگر یہ لوگ جب انہوں نے اپنی جانوں پر ﻇلم کیا تھا، تیرے پاس آ جاتے اور اللہ تعالیٰ سے استغفار کرتے اور رسول بھی ان کے لئے استغفار کرتے[1] ، تو یقیناً یہ لوگ اللہ تعالیٰ کو معاف کرنے واﻻ مہربان پاتے۔

The translators word this verse differently
How about when a disaster strikes them because what their hands have put forward, and then they come to you swearing by God: "We only intended goodwill and reconciliation"?
How would it be if a misfortune smote them because of that which their own hands have sent before (them)? Then would they come unto thee, swearing by Allah that they were seeking naught but harmony and kindness
How then when there befalls them a mischance through what their hands have sent on before? then will they come to you, and swear by God, 'We meant naught but good and concord
But how, when some misfortune shall fortune them, for their previous handywork? Then will they come to thee, swearing by God, "We desire nothing but to promote good and concord
But how will they behave when a misfortune shall befall them, for that which their hands have sent before them? Then will they come unto thee, and swear by God, saying, if we intended any other, than to do good, and to reconcile the parties

The translators word this verse differently
They are those whom God knows what is in their hearts. So ignore them, and admonish them, and say to them concerning themselves penetrating words.
Those are they, the secrets of whose hearts Allah knoweth. So oppose them and admonish them, and address them in plain terms about their souls
These, God knows what is in their hearts. Turn thou away from them and admonish them, and speak to them into their souls with a searching word
These are they whose hearts God knoweth. Therefore break off from them, and warn them, speak words that may penetrate their souls
God knoweth what is in the hearts of these men; therefore let them alone, and admonish them, and speak unto them a word which may affect their souls

But no, by your Lord, they will not believe until they call you to arbitrate in their disputes, and then find within themselves no resentment regarding your decisions, and submit themselves completely.
But nay, by thy Lord, they will not believe (in truth) until they make thee judge of what is in dispute between them and find within themselves no dislike of that which thou decidest, and submit with full submission
But no! by thy Lord! they will not believe, until they have made thee judge of what they differ on; then they will not find in themselves aught to hinder what thou hast decreed, and they will submit with submission
And they will not - I swear by thy Lord - they will not believe, until they have set thee up as judge between them on points where they differ. Then shall they not find in their own minds any difficulty in thy decisions, and shall submit with entire submission
And by thy Lord they will not perfectly believe, until they make thee judge of their controversies; and shall not afterwards find in their own minds any hardship in what thou shalt determine, but shall acquiesce therein with entire submission

Had We decreed for them: "Kill yourselves," or "Leave your homes," they would not have done it, except for a few of them. But had they done what they were instructed to do, it would have been better for them, and a firmer confirmation.
And if We had decreed for them: Lay down your lives or go forth from your dwellings, but few of them would have done it; though if they did what they are exhorted to do it would be better for them, and more strengthening
But had we prescribed for them, 'Kill yourselves, or go ye forth out of your houses,' they would not have done it, save only a few of them; but had they done what they are admonished, then it would have been better for them, and a more firm assurance
Had we laid down such a law for them as "Kill yourselves, or abandon your dwellings," but few of them would have done it. But had they done that to which they were exhorted, better and it been for them, and stronger for the confirmation of their faith
And if we had commanded them, saying, slay your selves, or depart from your houses; they would not have done it, except a few of them. And if they had done what they were admonished, it would certainly have been better for them, and more efficacious for confirming their faith
What this study rests on, and what it refusessigned with it3 of the 3 paragraphs signed with this study
The selection above and this account of it are part of what was signed. Where the renderings disagree it says so; where the question runs past what has cleared the rights audit it says that too.
The question asks whether the Qur'an allows asking saints for help. The probe 'saint' and 'saints' returns four rows at four verses, all Pickthall's (4:69, 17:56, 19:41, 19:56); 17:56 is carried, and the others name a prophet or the company of the righteous and are recorded as not carried.
5:35 and 4:64 are carried because readers also bring them to the question, on the means of approach to God and on coming to the Messenger; the study draws no conclusion from them, or from the other verses carried.
Protectors besides God are read in the study Is there any protector besides God (angels as protectors)?, and intercession in What does the Qur'an say about intercession on the Day of Judgment?
