Hadith Qudsi and The Rank of The Crown of The Saints
In reply, this is a very dangerous deception of Satan, and he has misguided many people in this way. However, Allah Almighty has not forbidden seeking help from other than Him. On the contrary, Allah Almighty has granted permission to seek the help of others in various places throughout the noble Quran.
Anyhow, seeking the help of the saints is not seeking help from other than Allah Almighty, in fact, it is the help of Allah Almighty. Shaykh ꜤAbd al-Qādir al-Jīlānī رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه does not help independently, rather he helps through the bestowal of Allah Almighty. Reflect on how Allah Almighty sent the angels to help on the occasion of the Battle of Badr. Allah Almighty states:
اِذۡ یُوۡحِیۡ رَبُّکَ اِلَی الۡمَلٰٓئِکَۃِ اَنِّیۡ مَعَکُمۡ فَثَبِّتُوا الَّذِیۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا ؕ
“And when, O Beloved, your Lord was revealing to the angels; that 'I am with you; so, keep the believers standing firm’”[1]
Observe how the angels are other than Allah Almighty, yet Allah Almighty Himself ordered them: “I am with you; so, keep the believers standing firm.”
Reflect! Allah Almighty sent the angels, but if He willed, He could have aided them without the angels. If He willed, He could have turned the enemies of the beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم upside down within their own homes, so that they could not even enter the battleground of Badr. He is All-powerful and does whatever He wills. Why did He send the angels? Because He is the Creator, the All-powerful. He does what He wills; no one can question Him.
