Asking and seeking the help of humans

Question:

I am an employee in one of the civil governmental institutions. The nature of our work requires from us sometimes to write some reports or invitations, and in these reports we write the expression: Please…, or kindly …, hoping that…, so is this kind of expecting things from someone permissible or not?

Answer:

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger. We ask Allaah to exalt his mention as well as that of his family and all his companions.

 

It is permissible for a person to expect something from another person or to seek his help in things that he is able to do, and this does not contradict Tawheed (monotheism). So, for a person to seek the help and assistance of another person in things that he is able to do is not a contradiction to Tawheed.

Allaah Knows best.
