(You Alone we seek help from) must be understood according to other verses of Quran and authentic Hadeeths. It does not mean that we should never seek help from doctors to treat us or our children or family members, and we should never seek help from engineers to build our houses. Prophet Suleman (AS) did ask help from people when he wanted to get the throne of Bilqees. He said: O chiefs, who is from you can get me her throne before they surrender to me? Sura An-Naml, verse 38.

Allah Says in Quran : And seek help from patience and Salah ( Sura al-Baqarah, verse 45)

We don't believe in anyone who can help us without Allah's permission. This is the meaning of ( You Alone we seek help from)because He is the Origin of any help which we can get.

We we seek help from Allah's most humble servants, we are in fact seeking help from Allah, because His humble servants can only help us by His permission and never with out Hiscpermission.

Wassalam.
