THE SIRAT BRIDGE

 
 

of Allah, and other people will first come to the Sirat Bridge and those who can pass this bridge will reach the Paradise.
....How will Human Beings pass over the Sirat Bridge?
....The Sirat Bridge will be laid across Hell. This implies that crossing over this bridge is actually passing over Hell, which is not an easy task. While they pass over this bridge, Hell will gleam and explode; its flames and steam will burn people while the keepers of Hell will catch sinners and throw them into it.
.... Passing over the Sirat Bridge will be very difficult. People will be terrified and shout "My self, my self (nafsi, nafsi)".
.... Our beloved Prophet will stand up next to the Sirat Bridge and pray to Allah Almighty as follows: "O my Lord! Let my ummah pass over this bridge safely!"
....Allah Almighty says:
....
"And We will deliver those who guarded (against evil), and We will leave the unjust therein on their knees." (Maryam, 72)
....Allah Almighty declares that He will save those believers who guarded against evil from being cast into Hell and will leave the sinners in Hell on their knees.
.... Our beloved Prophet said:
...."Some people will cross over the Sirat Bridge as quickly as a horse at full gallop; some will cross like a flash of lightening; some will cross like the wind; some will cross like a rider on a camel; some will cross it running, some walking; some will cross it crawling."
