*Spoonful of Sugar* The shortest distance...

What's the shortest distance between two points? - It's a straight line. To go directly from point A to point B, the best path is a straight one - you don't go around in loops veering off this way and that way. Thus, the best way to get close to Allah, the shortest distance between you and Allah, is the Straight Path: Sirat ul-mustaqeem.
