Crossing the Sirat
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q260: The questioner, Azizah from Algeria, says: We take pride in our Islam and our religion, and we hope to walk on the straight path. I ask you, O honorable Shaykh, about crossing the Sirat on the Day of Resurrection: is it for all of creation, or do only certain people cross this Sirat?
A260: Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) said:[Maryam 19:71] , and this is the passing over the Sirat,
so all of creation pass over the Sirat, as came in the hadith. Some pass like the wind, some like a swift horse, some like camels, some run a run, some walk a walk, some crawl on their bellies, and some are snatched and thrown into Hellfire; so each one passes according to his deeds.
A260: Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) said:
And there is none of you except he will come to it. This is upon your Lord an inevitability decreed.
وَإِنْ مِنْكُمْ إِلاَّ وَارِدُهَا كَانَ عَلَى رَبِّكَ حَتْمًا مَقْضِيًّاso all of creation pass over the Sirat, as came in the hadith. Some pass like the wind, some like a swift horse, some like camels, some run a run, some walk a walk, some crawl on their bellies, and some are snatched and thrown into Hellfire; so each one passes according to his deeds.
