Supplication (du'a) should be directed solely to Allah. Seeking help from anyone other than Allah – be it prophets, messengers, angels, saints, or any created being – nullifies the act of worship. While seeking physical assistance within the natural laws of the world is permissible, requesting the unseen or miraculous from anyone besides Allah is strictly forbidden. True supplication involves asking Allah alone for all needs, both material and spiritual. Seeking aid from others in worldly matters is different from asking for the impossible or supernatural from anyone besides the Creator.

This lecture asserts that establishing human rule over others constitutes the greatest form of associating partners with God (shirk) in the history of humankind. It argues that contemporary society, in its collective assertion of self-governance, has replaced God as its ultimate authority. The speaker contends that true devotion will only be possible when a system of governance based on divine law is established, replacing current systems that operate independently of God's commands. This involves rejecting secular courts and parliaments, and instead submitting to a system where justice is derived solely from God’s decree. The current practice of worship combined with obedience to man-made laws is considered a form of hypocrisy and rebellion.
