Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: What is the interpretation of the saying of Allah the Exalted:[Maryam 19:71]
Answer:
It is passing over the Sirat[Maryam 19:71], meaning that all people, the Muslims and the disbelievers, the righteous and the wicked, the first and the last, all of them pass over the Sirat, which is a bridge over Hellfire. Their deeds are tested, so some pass quickly, some pass slowly, some pass at a moderate pace, and some fall into Hellfire, may Allah protect us from it.
Some crawl, some walk, some run, some are like a swift horse, some are like a camel rider, and some are like a flash of lightning. People differ according to their deeds, and every member of the creation must pass over the Sirat[Maryam 19:72]. Yes.
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: What is the interpretation of the saying of Allah the Exalted:
And there is none of you except he will come to it. This is upon your Lord an inevitability decreed.
وَإِن مِّنكُمْ إِلَّا وَارِدُهَا كَانَ عَلَىٰ رَبِّكَ حَتْمًا مَّقْضِيًّاAnswer:
It is passing over the Sirat
And there is none of you except he will come to it
وَإِن مِّنكُمْ إِلَّا وَارِدُهَاSome crawl, some walk, some run, some are like a swift horse, some are like a camel rider, and some are like a flash of lightning. People differ according to their deeds, and every member of the creation must pass over the Sirat
Then We will save those who feared Allah and leave the wrongdoers within it, on their knees.
ثُمَّ نُنَجِّي الَّذِينَ اتَّقَوا وَّنَذَرُ الظَّالِمِينَ فِيهَا جِثِيًّا
