As-Sirāt (Arabic: الصراط) is, according to Islam, the bridge over which every person must pass on the Yawm al-Qiyamah (lit. 'Day of Resurrection') in order to enter Jannah (lit. 'Paradise').
This article is about the bridge from which sinners fall to hell on judgement day. For the straight path Muslims are enjoined to follow, see Sirat al-Mustaqim.
It is mentioned in the Quran, and is described in the Hadith.[2] As-Sirāt is said to be thinner than a strand of hair and as sharp as the sharpest knife or sword (because of its danger).[3] Below this path are the fires of Hell, which burn the sinners to make them fall. Those who performed acts of goodness in their lives are transported across the path in speeds according to their deeds leading them to the Hawd al-Kawthar (lit. 'Pond of Abundance').[4][5][6]
