The phrase "Your advice and Allah's guidance" contains nothing that is Islamically prohibited. "Your advice" means "what is your opinion," i.e., seeking counsel. "Allah's guidance" means that ultimately the matter rests with Allah, and He is the Guide to what is right. This meaning is correct and aligns with a Muslim's creed and the Sharia. Consulting with Muslims is a legitimate matter, as stated in Allah's (the Most High) saying: {And consult them in the matter}. Consultation is also one of the qualities of believers. And Allah, Glorified and Exalted be He, is the Ordainer and the Guide.
