Turning to Allah Ta‘ala First

Hazrat Mufti Ebrahim Salejee (Daamat Barakaatuhu) mentioned:

Unfortunately, today we turn our focus to Allah Ta‘ala only at the end, and as a last resort. In a crisis we turn to all other means besides Allah Ta‘ala. When all these means fail, then eventually we resort to Allah Ta‘ala. This needs to be reversed and Allah Ta‘ala should be the first One we supposed to be turning to.
