WHY THE NEED TO ASK OTHER THAN ALLAAH WHEN WE CAN CALL ALLAAH DIRECTLY?

In his talk that asking the dead or asking other than Allaah is not Shirk, Yaser Qaadhi forgot one simple Aayah, which he and everyone reads at least 17 times a day in their Obligatory prayers:

إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وَإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُ

{(O Allaah!) You (alone) we worship, and You we ask for help}

📚 [Surah al-Faatihah (1): 5]

⚡Then YQ added another twist, he's comparing calling/supplicating the dead same as him asking his son (who is alive) for help. He's comparing the dead with the living! He's comparing mangoes and apples! Allaah تعالى says:

وَمَا يَسْتَوِي الْأَحْيَاءُ وَلَا الْأَمْوَاتُ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّـهَ يُسْمِعُ مَن يَشَاءُ ۖ وَمَا أَنتَ بِمُسْمِعٍ مَّن فِي الْقُبُورِ

{Nor are (alike) the living (believers) and the dead (disbelievers). Verily, Allah makes whom He will hear, but you cannot make hear those who are in graves.}

📚 [Surah Faatir (35):22]

👉While seeking help from someone, always remember two things:

1️⃣ the person you are calling to should be present (someone who is alive and can hear you).

2️⃣ he should have the ability to do what you are asking.

❌ So with this perspective in mind, remember that it is wrong to say to ask the dead because they cannot hear and they cannot do anything for you.

✅ No one can make your life pleasurable except Allaah تعالى, no one can bestow favors upon you except Allaah, and no human being can help you without Allaah's permission.

♻️ If ever, the dead are in need of our supplication and help. They are in need of us asking Allaah to forgive them and have mercy on them. There are so many Ahaadeeth on this.
