    I have heard in many Taqreeraat (speeches) of great Ulama-e-Karaam that Shafaat-e-Rasool-e-Kareem Sallallahu 'Alayhe Wasallam is the Gift Which every Sunni Aasheeq Always Asks for From THE ALMIGHTY ALLAH AZZAWAJAL ..

    And Sarkaar-e-Madeenah Sallallahu 'Alayhe Wasallam will surely do Shafa'at of His Blessed Ummah ..

    A common reason to those people who still have doubts in this

    When Shuhadah-e-Karaam can do Shafa'at of 70 people who have become "Waajib al-Dozakh" and a Haafiz can do Shafa'at of 10 such people .. Then Surely Sarkaar-e-Madeenah Sallallahu 'Alayhe Wasallam can do Shafa'at of His Tamaam 'Ummah alone ..!!

    For seriously Doubt-stricken people

    Go through Fatawa Razawiyyah and Insha Allah Ta'alah you will be content .. The Market is Flooded With 10000 of Books Proving this .. But when you go through Fatawa Razawiyyah it will Insha Allah be proof enough to prove anyone ..

    I have provided this link too ..

    The savants of the Ahl as-sunnat state that on the Day of Resurrection every prophet will intercede. Then, savants will intercede. Then, martyrs will intercede. Then, devoted Muslims will intercede, then those hafizes who recite Qur'an al-karim with tajwid but not melodiously and for Allah's sake, and then small children will intercede. Those hadith ash- Sharifs declaring that this is so are written in a brief explanation of Tazkira-i Qurtubi and also in Birghiwi Vasiyetnamesi. It is written in many books of fiqh that when performing a prayer called janaza namaz for children it is good to say, "O Allah! Make this child an intercessor!"
    Those hadith ash-Sharifs declaring that the good will intercede for the sinners on the Day of Resurrection are so numerous that he who disbelieves the fact despite these hadith ash- Sharifs may be thought of as either a vulgar ignoramus or as a wretch who has been deceived by the people who have been striving to demolish Islam. Therefore, rather than thinking of the person who asks the question above as a denier of Shafaat, we will suppose that he means to say that it is not permissible to visit graves and to ask for something from a dead person. Today some people say that it is shirk to visit the Awliya and to ask for something from the dead. They say that those who visit a Wali, those who ask for shafaat from Rasulullah are disbelievers, that is, non-Muslims. The savants of the Ahl as-sunnat prove with various documents in books of kalam and fiqh that it is permissible to pray through a dead Muslim. After explaining the janaza namaz, the book Durr-ul-mukhtar quotes the hadith ash-Sharif "I had prohibited you from visiting graves. From now on visit graves!" This hadith ash-Sharif commands us to visit graves. In explaining this, Ibni Abidin says, "On Friday, and on the days preceding and following it, a dead Muslim recognizes those who visit him. Muhammad Wasi' says that this is so and adds that hence it is understood that Friday is superior to the other days. Ibni Abi Shayba has reported that Rasulullah "sall-Allahu 'alaihi wa sallam' used to visit the graves of the martyrs of Uhud every year and say to them, "Assalamu alaikum." It is good to visit by standing at a distance, too. Ibni Hajar says in his fatwa, "Visiting Awliya's graves should not be neglected even if there are haram (forbidden) things, e.g. if there are women among the men." For, a person does not neglect his worship because of a sin committed by another. Likewise, carrying a dead person should not be abandoned for this same reason. Rasulullah "sall-Allahu 'alaihi wa sallam' used to go to the cemetery of Baki' in order to visit the graves of His Sahaba "ridwanullahi ta'ala 'alaihim ajmain', and, standing, he used to address them, "Assalamu alaikum.' It is preferable to stand by the foot-side of the grave. It is permissible by the head-side as well. Rasulullah "sall-Allahu 'alaihi wa sallam' recited a part of Baqara Sura by the head-side of a grave, and he recited the rest at its foot-side. It is stated in a hadith ash-Sharif: "If the person who enters the graveyard recites Yasin Sura, on that day the torment of the dead will decrease. He will be given as many thawabs as the number of the dead.' Another hadith ash-Sharif declares: "If one recites Ikhlas Sura eleven times and sends its thawabs to the dead, one will be given as many thawabs as the number of the dead.'

    As for the forty-fourth ayat al-karima of Zumar Sura, it is interpreted as: "The disbelievers of the Quraish say that their idols will intercede for them. Tell them that no one can intercede without Allahu ta'ala's permission." It is so wrong to interpret an ayat al- karima declaring that "idols and statues cannot intercede" to mean that "Rasulullah cannot intercede." Rasulullah "sall-Allahu ta'ala 'alaihi wa sallam' will be allowed to intercede, and he will intercede for those Believers whom he likes. Also, the interpretation of Ayat-al Kursi in Baqara Sura communicates that this is so.
    And the forty-eighth ayat al-karima of Muddassir Sura is interpreted as: "If those who are allowed to intercede do so for the disbelievers, their intercession will not be helpful to the disbelievers."
    As it is understood, all the ayat al-karimas declare that shafaat, that is, helping Believers, will be permitted and disbelievers will not be interceded for. There are various hadith ash-Sharifs stating that Rasulullah "sall-Allahu 'alaihi wa sallam' will intercede for the Believers:
    A hadith ash-Sharif conveyed by Hatib-i Baghdadi states: "Of my Ummat, I shall intercede for those who love my Ahl al-bayt."
    A hadith ash-Sharif quoted by Imam-i Ahmad in his book Musnad states: "Of my Ummat, I shall intercede for those who have committed grave sins."
    A hadith ash-Sharif quoted in Dailami's Musnad states: "I shall intercede for everybody except those who spoke ill of my Sahaba."
    A hadith ash-Sharif which is, again, conveyed by Dailami, states: "Of my Ummat, I shall intercede for those who tormented their nafs and who were deceived by their nafs."
    A hadith ash-Sharif conveyed by Hatib-i Baghdadi states: "Of my Ummat, I shall intercede for those with many sins."
    A hadith ash-Sharif conveyed by Ibni Abi Shayba states: "On the Day of Resurrection, I shall be the first to rise out of the grave and I shall be the first to intercede."
    A hadith ash-Sharif conveyed by Imam-i Muslim states: "On the Day of Resurrection, I shall intercede first."
    A hadith ash-Sharif written on the twenty-eighth page of the explanation of Shir'at-ul- Islam states: "A person who does not believe in my Shafaat will not benefit from it."
    The eighth of the forty hadith ash-Sharifs transmitted by Ahmad ibni Kamal Effendi states: "My shafaat has become haram (forbidden) for the person who misses my Sunnat." That is, he declared: "I shall not intercede for the person who abandons the iman which he had at his birth, the person who does not become Muslim."
    A hadith ash-Sharif quoted in the books Bukhari, Muslim and Sunan states: "It has become wajib for me to intercede for the person who visits my grave."
    A hadith ash-Sharif quoted by Tabarani "rahmatullahi ta'ala 'alaih' states: "I will be an intercessor of the person who visits my grave." These two hadith ash-Sharifs show that it is necessary to visit Rasulullah's grave. There are many other hadith ash-Sharifs declaring that our master Rasulullah "sall-Allahu 'alaihi wa sallam' will intercede in various ways. It is written on the sixty-seventh page of the book Milal-Nihal, "It is written in Khulasa that it is not permissible to perform namaz behind a person who disbelieves the fact that Rasulullah will intercede, the angels of kiraman katibin, or the ruyat (seeing Allahu ta'ala) in Paradise." Accordingly, you must not perform namaz behind an imam who is a Wahhabi.
