Question:
Is the Pool before the Sirat or after it?
Answer:
Allah knows best. This is a matter of disagreement among the scholars. Some say it is before the Sirat because the people will be thirsty after the gathering and will need to drink. Some say it is after passing over the Sirat. And some say there is a Pool before the Sirat and a Pool after the Sirat. So Allah knows best. The important thing is that we affirm the Pool and believe in it. As for whether it is before the Sirat or after it, that requires evidence, and it is not among our concerns. Yes.
