Abstract :

Intercession and having faith in it is one of the essential teachings in Islam. Obtaining enough knowledge about this essential principle of religion and its rational and theosophical principles provides the condition for taking benefit from this diving grace. From the point of view of Muslim theosophists, Intercession is suggested according to the principle of higher possibility and perfecting the capability of the recipient  .From the point of view of Muslim theosophists Intercession is realized by the perfect man in the arc of descent and ascent ,by God’s Most Beautiful Names and the relation between these Names with divine grace and forgiveness and mediation of Perfect Man as a manifestation of divine Name in the sphere of humanity .Having faith in Perfect Man’s role as the vicegerent of God on the earth and his superiority and guardianship over other creatures facilitates accession to  intercession .This is on account of the fact that the Perfect Man‘s heart is the mirror of God’s Names and His essential self- manifestation which is going to manifest in the world by being manifested in him.
