Asking a buzurg to make dua for one

Q: Is it allowed to go to  a buzurg or a highly religious person who does a lot of ibadah and ask him to pray to Allah about my problem. And can we supplicate through an intermediary i.e through tawasul of a righteous one, living or dead e.g through Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jeelani. And I also want to know is it permissible for men and women to visit the shrines of say Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jeelani and other without committing any shirk and praying to Allah directly there?

Ulema of Deoband

Q: I have heard that the ulema of makkah and medina once issued a fatwa of kufr against ulema of deoband when ahmad raza khan showed them the views of deobandi ulema in a distorted way and then on finding the truth the arab ulema revoked it, could you explain the details?

Hoors in Jannah

Q: Will a woman get a pure man in jannah, just as men get women that have not been touched. I mean women control their sexual desires as
well and they obey Allah(swt) as well. And it is one of the greatest desire of a woman to have a husband who only loves her. So wouldn't it be more fair if she is granted what she desires?

The word Lord

Q: In Dutch language the title prenoun for a man is: ''meneer'' which is derrived from ''mijnheer''. The english word for this is: mister, sir, literally ''mijn heer'' means ''my lord''. Is using such words shirk?
