Judgment we will be able to attain intercession of the Ulama because of loving them here in the world; as is in Malfuzaat-e-A’la Hadrat, the summary of which is: On Judgment Day people will be held accountable and they will be sent to Paradise. Much earlier, the accountability of Ulama will have already happened but they will be stopped. So, they will say, ‘O merciful Lord! People are entering, why have we been stopped?’ They will be told, ‘Today you are like angels to Me. Make intercession so that people get forgiven because of your intercession.’ And Ulama-e-Kiraam will intercede for countless people to the extent that they will also intercede for those people who were related to them in any way.  For example, someone will say, ‘I arranged Wudu water for you.’ Someone will say, ‘I did that thing for you.’ Every Sunni scholar will be told: Intercede for your students even if their number is equal to the number of stars in the sky. (Malfuzaat-e-A’la Hadrat, summarised)

Ham ko aye Attar Sunni ‘Aalimon say piyar hay

اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه Do jahan mayn apna bayra paar hay

(Wasail-e-Bakhshish, (amended version), p. 699)
