Why do we call upon Shaykh and not Allah SWT

Question:

Salaam dear respected Shaykhs.

Some family members have asked this question and I am unsure of the answer. Please can you clarify:

Why do we say ‘Dastoor Madad Ya Sayyidi‘ when something is about to happens or when we need help? Surely shouldn’t we beseech directly to Allah for help?

Is it not Shirk to call upon any other than Allah for help?

JazakkAllah in advance for your help. Please provide answer so that I am able to explain to those who ask.

Answer:

A`udhu billahi min ash-shaytan ir-rajeem
Bismillahi ‘r-Rahmani ‘r-Raheem

wa `alaykum salam,
Please see this Post: Asking for Madad?

Prayer Request: Permission request for Dua of Hazrat Dawood (as)

Request:

Asalamualikum

I am writing this in great need and urgency. I have requested permission four months ago but did not receive a response. Please if you can help me in my time of need.

I need permission to read Dua of Hazrat Dawood (as). I love a girl who I want to marry but she does not feel the same way about me, however three years ago she was very much in love with me and wanted to marry me. But things did not turn out well due to things that were out of both of our control. I know her and she will be good for me and my family. Alhamdulillah Allah has granted me with success in this life and I want to help her and her family after marriage.

Jazak Allah Khayr
