Question:
In his second question, he asks: What is the Sirat set up over the back of Hellfire? What is the ruling on believing in it? And does everyone who passes over it suffer harm, or not? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
This is a bridge that Allah sets up for the believers. The believers pass over it to Paradise. It has hooks that snatch people away according to their deeds. So whoever passes over it is saved. Some people may be snatched and fall because of their sins. Others may be snatched but saved and continue on. It is a great, firm bridge that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) described. Those for whom Allah has written Paradise pass over it. Some people may fall because of some of their sins and be punished according to the extent of their disobedience. Only the believers pass over it. As for the disbelievers, no, they do not pass over the Sirat. This is only for the people of Paradise. Whoever passes over it is saved, and whoever falls because of his sins is punished according to their magnitude. As for the disbelievers, they are driven into the Fire. We ask Allah for safety. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good, O Shaykh.
