A clarification about du'a & resorting....

Hi my sis and bros...happy fasting days..may Allah bless you all....today when i went through the pics in EC i found one of my bro's comment on photo"254" put by "Hanan Haider"....so i thought it is better to put my reply here so that we can discuss about it...we've all accepted the Qura'n as a Holy and complete book without any distortion.besides,we all know that not all the verses are understood easily.but we can interpret any verse due to other verses.some say that in Qura'n we say :"You[ alone ]do we worship, and to You[ alone ]do we turn for help"(1/5) .so in accordance with only this verse they say that we are not allowed to refer to others for help.but don't we refer to specialists of different fields for help?like physicians?does it mean that we put them beside Allah?or no,we believe that God has created many rules and means so that we refer to them for satisfying our needs...or don't we consult sb when we are upset or depressed ?does it mean that we don't believe in God's power and we refer to others for help?no,no,no...of course not....we consider the whole world including people and rules as God's creatures.if we refer to different people and means it means that we believe that the God's creatures are all created for definite purposes and non of them are useless...they are the signs of God's absolute power...all belongs to Allah ,but all the creation is created for us to use them for the purpose of getting close to Allah...so it is reasonable to ask others for help.it is acceptable to talk with the prophet Muhammad(PBUH)...you see in the world we have lots of miracles. a blind is cured without any kind of scientific reason.we see lots of cancers cured just by Du'a.we refer to our prophet or other sacred people whom God loves so that God accept our Du'a ;for God loves them.but even then we know that all power belongs to Allah and if the ones to whom we refer answer us ,it is because God has allowed them...we don't consider others as the ones with independent powers..no ,not at all...they are just among closest people to God...look at these verses carefully :[ The native inhabitants of the area Came to him and said:" O, Zul-Qarnain! This Gog and Magog people are doing Mischief and corruption throughout The land; if we pay the expenses will you Set up a barrier between us and them?"He said:" What my Creator and Nurturer Of power and knowledge has Bestowed Upon me is better than your tribute. You only help me with your labourers, And I will set up between you and them A barrier...(18/94,95)or look at this:"O, you who believe! Fear from The disobedience of Allah's Commands And seek the means of getting near to Him; and strive hard in His Way, so that You may receive salvation."(5/35)or this:"We did not send any Messenger, But to be obeyed by Allah's Leave. If They had come to you[ O, Messenger ]When they had wronged themselves and Had begged Allah's Forgiveness[ through You ]and the Messenger had begged Forgiveness for them, indeed they would Have found that Allah is the Merciful Repentance-Accepter;(4/64)or we see :"And when it is said to them:" Come to The Messenger so that he may ask Allah's Forgiveness for you." They shake Their heads in denial and they turn away Out of arrogance;"(63/5)in the story of Israel and his sons we see:"They said:" O, our father! Ask for us Forgiveness from Allah against our sins; Verily, we have been sinful."Yaqub said:" I will soon ask my Creator and Nurturer's Forgiveness for you; Verily, Allah is the Merciful Forgiving."(12/97,98)so we see we are allowed to resort so that our problems are resolved.another thing i want to clarify :some say that the ones who kiss the places where sacred people are buried ,or the ones who touch and kiss Kaaba are doing wrong and worthless doings .but what about this verse:" Now go with this shirt of mine and Cast it over the face of my father; and] By this [he will recover his sight; and Then bring to me your family all Together."(12/93)we see that Joseph sends a shirt of him to his father Jacob ! we all know that a shirt is nothing but a shirt ,but when being touched by a holy person ,it becomes valuable.Kaaba is nothing but a symbol ,a holy shrine is just a place with walls and stones and the holy Qura'n which we all kiss is only a book .so why do we kiss Qura'n?of course because of its magnificence .why do we kiss our mom?because we love her.so when we can't touch and kiss our love ,we kiss ,smell and touch his signs...is it nonsense?...dear sis and bros,i want you all to discuss about this topic here ;share your ideas ,ask you questions and debate on the material i've presented here.have a happy life:)
