Dear Mazhar
You are incorrect when you say that Allah can change His act.
Because Allah is eternal and eternal means beyond all time and change. If Allah were to change His act, then He would be changing and therefore, He would be in time and composed of parts. This means Allah is not truly one and therefore there must be another cause beyond Allah since anything made of parts must be caused.
Mazhar you also quoted the Qur'an and the bi-haqqi prayer. I have no disagreement that we pray to Allah bi haqqi (by the right of) the Imams. However, in the Dua we also pray to the Imam and seek blessings and relief from him. See Part 5:
Ya Imam al-Zaman, Ya Mawlana Anta Quwwati wa Anta Sanadi wa 'alayka'tikali.
O Imam of the Time, You are my Strength and You are my Support and upon you I rely.
Please read my latest article - I will LOGICALLY prove to you that praying to the Imam is extremely beneficial and completely consistent with Tawhid. In fact, the prayers and blessings of the Prophet and the Imam of the Time make a HUGE DIFFERENCE in whether our prayers will be fulfilled or not. Because God Himself is beyond change, He is eternal, and His blessings always rain down on us. The changes that prayer brings are not changes in God, they are changes in the human soul who prays. Now, the Imam's prayers and blessings - in addition to our own prayers - can make a great difference and change within our soul. When our soul is transformed and purified by the Imam's blessings, then we are able to receive MORE of the blessings that Allah is ALREADY sending down on us. So you see, the Imam's blessings make ALL the difference in the world. Please read the whole article and I challenge you to try and refute any arguments I have. I have proven from both logic and metaphysics on one hand and the Qur'an on the other hand:

The Ismailis are completely justified in addressing the above needs and requests to the Prophet or Imam himself – calling out “Ya Ali Madad”, “Ya Ali”, “Ya Muhammad”, “Ya Mawla”, or “Ya Hazar Imam” followed by a specific request. This practice of actually calling upon the name of the wasilah – whether a Prophet or Imam – is confirmed in the Qur’anic narrative of how the Children of Israel asked Moses for water.
And We inspired to Moses when his people implored him for water (istasqahu), “Strike with your staff the stone,” and there gushed forth from it twelve springs. Every people knew its watering place.
– Holy Qur’an 7:160
There are two important points in the above verse:
a) The people addressed their request for water to Moses (istasqahu = they asked him for water)
b) Moses, under God’s inspiration, answered their prayer and fulfilled their request by producing twelve springs of water
Thus, the Children of Israel were justified in requesting water from Moses and God answered their prayer and fulfilled their request through Moses. In this case, both the Children of Israel and God Himself make us of Moses as their wasilah (means of access).
Along the same lines, the believers are completely justified in addressing their requests and prayers to the Imam of the Time by calling “Ya Ali”, “Ya Hazar Imam”, etc. The Imam is conscious of the requests and supplications of his believers and mercifully responds to them.

"Outwardly, Mawla Murtada ‘Ali used to eat bread made of barley, but otherwise, he used to tear apart mountains, and within a moment used to reach the other end of the world, and whoever sought the help of Mawla Murtada ‘Ali he used to fulfill their wishes and resolve their difficulties. We are the great grandson of Mawla Murtada ‘Ali."

(Address in Bombay, September 1, 1885)
The connection between the Imam of the Time and his believers is a spiritual one: the soul of the Imam is connected to the souls of the believers through the bay‘ah and this connection transcends time and space. The Qur’an says that “the Prophet is closer to the believers than their own souls” (Qur’an 33:6) and this holds true for the Imam since he is the Prophet’s successor. The Imam’s spiritual support (ta’yid) and blessings can reach the souls of his believers regardless of their physical locations. In this respect, the pure soul of the Imam of the Time serves as the relay point from which God’s blessings are extended to the believers and to humanity at large. In at least two places, the Qur’an indicates that God has bestowed His favours on certain human beings and that these individuals have the permission and authority to extend and bestow God’s favours and blessings to others without restriction:
God sets forth the Parable (of two men): a slave under the dominion of another; He has no power of any sort; and a man on whom We have bestowed goodly favours from Ourselves, and he spends thereof (freely), privately and publicly: are the two equal? Praise be to God. But most of them understand not.
– Holy Qur’an 16:75
Such are Our Gifts: whether you bestow them or withhold them, no account will be asked.
– Holy Qur’an 38:39
so do not be fool.
