Question:
Is the Sirat after the bridge or before it?
Answer:
The Sirat is the bridge erected over the back of Hellfire, from the earth upward, where they ascend to Paradise, and whoever falls falls into the Fire—may Allah grant us safety. It is as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:, but it has great hooks, whose magnitude only Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) knows. They snatch people away according to their deeds. The walking is not according to the bodies and the senses, no, rather it is according to the deeds and the practical spiritual strength.

مدحضةٌ مزلَّةٌ
