By Rose Of Madinah

Traveling via land from Jeddah to Madinah takes approximately around 5 hours.

R & R generally may stand for rest & recuperation and is a common itinerary in travel. But we feel Rushing for Restroom best suits this acronym.

This particular R & R pitstop stood different from the regular ones in Saudi with its exceptionally clean and bright decorum with even a playground to top it off.

However glamorous the pitstop be decorated, the real usage of the R & R was to empty our bowels, top up our tanks, get some provisions and to carry on to our higher objectives and real destination.

How then did we forget that the biggest restroom pitstop was this world we came to transit for a short while before eventually moving on to the Real? It would be foolish to set up camp at an R & R pitstop and to be convinced that would be the highest complete pursuit.

Though the life on this world may seem like lengthy decades, one tends to forget that the journeying was supposed to be internal. The external vehicle used is the body, which resembles a bus or a car. The driver needs to journey from the created to The Creator in this travel called Life on Earth.

It would be a miserable waste of opportunities if one were to forget journeying to the Real and instead exhaust all our time to feed, decorate, and nourish only the transitory vehicle called the body and the world whose real value is equivalent to what exits the body in the restroom.

Journey to the Real.

From Him we came, to Him we Return.

We transit here to fulfill a purpose.

To pursue Him and to Attain Him.

Capture The flag of the Real so that we are successful in our mission.

Inna Lillahi wa inna ilaihi Rajioon
