Requesting Other Than God

Question:


There are people out there who ask other than Allah , because they think that Allah has given them rank and high status. "we ask them because it is a good deed and Allah has made them innocent" my questions: 
1. why can't one use ALLAHS status and RANK and ask Allah to look at His own status in mercy and blessing? 
2. when it comes to forgiveness, why would the almighty want to look at STATUS of human before He forgives? i thought that if God forgives then it is given freely without ANY conditions like status of someone 
3. if God uses status of someone before He forgives, then does that imply that God is blinded by his love of someone? for example: i beg Allah, but Allah says , " ask Muhammad..." this seems no different from a person who loves his wife and obeys her at every command this is what it seems when one observes practices of muslims at the graves.  


Answer:


My dear brother, you need to ask these questions from the same people who you referred to, none of this has anything to do with Islam. The Qur'an has made it clear repeatedly that we should ask God only. In fact you say the same thing in your prayers every day when you say: "Only You I seek help from." 
God's forgiveness is for all those who deserve it.
