Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Some messages sent via mobile phone are in this form: “I ask my Lord, by the number of those who responded, glorified, and magnified, to give you drink from al-Kawthar,” and so on. Is this seeking nearness to Allah through a created being?

Answer:
No. His intention is that he is asking Allah a great deal, by the number of those who responded. That means it is an expression of emphasis and insistence. It means emphasis and insistence. It is not seeking nearness to Allah through a means. Yes.
