As-Sirāt (
Arabic: الصراط), also called Sirat al-Jahim (
English: The Bridge of Hell) is, in
Islam, the hair-narrow bridge, which according to Muslim belief every person must pass on the
Day of Judgement to enter
Paradise. It is said that it is as thin as a hair and as sharp as a sword. Below this path are the fires of
Hell, which burn the sinners to make them fall. People who performed acts of goodness in their lives are transported across the path in moments by a horse, leading them to the
Hauzu'l-Kausar (the lake of abundance).
