(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.
The fact that everything is in the hands of Allah (SWT) is unchangeable and non negotiable whether you ask directly from Allah or request help from Allah's humble servants to get your work done. When you ask help from Allah's humble servants, you are not asking them to get your work done by them with out Allah. You are seeking their help because of their status with Allah. Wahabi claim based in their misunderstanding the real Tawheed, but Quranic Tawheed states that seeking help from Allah;s humble servants is just like seeking from Allah. We read in Sura Al-A'raaf , verse 134: And when the punishment fell on them they said: O Musa (Moses) : Invoke your Lord for us because of His Promise to you, If you remove the punishment from us, we will believe in you and let Israel's children go with you.
When they told Musa ( If you remove the punishment from us) he never object on them, because he knows that Allah and only Allah removes the punishment and they asked Prophet Musa to do that because of his status as a humble servant of Allah.
We are allowed to seek directly from Allah or seek from His humble servants whose supplication to Allah in our favor is more effective that our supplication,v knowing that everything is in the Hands of Allah.
False allegations ere always put on the prophets and their followers by the enemies of the truth, but it did not harm but the liars. We are facing similar false allegations from our enemies. We never worship any one but Allah and our respecting the Proohers and the Infallible Imams can never mean worshiping them as we believe that all the proohers and the Infallible Imams are the best servants and worshipers of Allah.
Respecting and obeying the Prophet (SAWA) is obligatory on every Muslim as Allah Says in Quran (Tell them : If you really love Allah, then follow me) (Sura 3, Verse 31)
Qyran is teaching us to go to the Prophet to seek forgiveness (Sura Annisam verse 64).
‘First: In Sura Yusuf, verse 97. The sons of Prophet Ya'qoub said : O our father, pray for forgiveness for us from our sins. He replied them : I will pray pray for your forgiveness. If it was not right to ask someone to pray for your sins, the Prophet Ya'qoub should have told them not to ask, and he should have not accept their request to pray for their forgiveness.
Second: Allah (SWT) in Sura An-Nisa;, verse 64 is teaching us in Quran how to seek forgiveness. ( Had they when they wronged themselves (by sinning) come to you and prayed for forgiveness and the prophet prayed for their forgiveness, should have Allah accepting repentance and Merciful.
These are just two examples from Quran. We have many authentic Hadeeths from the Prophet (SAWA) in this regard.
