Fast will Intercede

Rasul Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: “The fast and the Quran are two intercessors for the servant of Allah on the Day of Resurrection. The fast will say, ‘O Lord, I prevented him from his food and desires during the day. Let me intercede for him.’ The Quran will say, ‘I prevented him from sleeping at night. Let me intercede for him.’ And their intercession will be accepted.” [Ahmad]

On the Day of Qiyamah everybody will be desperate for intercession, if only somebody of high rank could plead on their behalf with Allah (subhana wa ta’ala). On that Day only those will intercede whom Allah (subhana wa ta’ala) will allow to do so. Rasul Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) told us that one’s fasts will be granted the power by Allah (subhana wa ta’ala) to intercede.
