salvation in due time. In this respect the HOLYBOOK has:

" They said," O, our father! Ask forgivness for our sins, for we were really at fault." He said," Soon I shall ask my LORD to forgive you all, for HE is indeed often forgiving and Merciful"

THE HOLY QURN S 21: 79 89

Of course one should not transgress the logicalbounds by thinking that the prophets could do as they liked without the permission of God. One should not try to change a case of resorting or interceding into a case of worshipping the prophets and the saints which is then mere Polytheism. They substantially can do nothing unless God permits them to do it.:--

" Say:" I have no power over any good or bad tomyself, except by the will of Allah.

If I had the knowledge of the hidden, I would haveavailed myself of much goodness, and no harm wouldhave touched me at all.

I am only a warner to all of you and a bearer of gladtiding to those who have faith."
