The siraat, the “bridge” over the hellfire: the next test all professing Muslims must face. Fine as a hair, and sharper than a sword, crossing it is beyond difficult. There are hooks on either side of it, traps to catch the unwary and fling them into the hellfire. Professing Muslims fall into one of two categories: true believers and the hypocrites. The Qur’an, 57:12–15, speaks of the bridge in detail
The people find themselves in darkness. Facing that “bridge,” what hope do Muslims have of getting safely across, of not falling into the hellfire? The hypocrites will be separated out from the true Muslims, who will proceed first, with a wall between the two groups.
A call will go out that each person should follow the one who created them. Some will go forth to follow a rock or other object, others will follow a demon (as the Jews worshiped ‘Uzair as god [per the Qur’an’s claims]).
The Muslims will hesitate, as they have not seen the One they worshiped. Allah will then show the Muslims his shin (Allah has a shin!), and they will proceed. But how do they get across? The answer: by the light of their deeds. The higher the number of good deeds, the brighter the light will be. Some will have light as big and bright as a palm tree, others will have a dim light in their big toe that will flicker on and off. Each Muslim will move as fast or as slow as their light allows. Some will cross agonizingly slow, others in less than a blink of an eye. All Muslims will get safely across.
The hypocrites suffer a different fate. They will cross by trying to hang from the bridge, as they have no light. At the mid-point, the bridge will become hot, and every hypocrite will fall into the hellfire, falling for fifty years.
Hadiths state that for the believers, the hellfire will say that they can cross over, that their light has extinguished the fire. Muhammad will cross over first, followed by Jesus, and then Moses. Once more we see Muhammad exalted over all others.
Muhammad will intercede for the gates of Paradise to be opened, for him alone the gates will open. We get our first glimpse of Paradise. There will be all sorts of luscious fruits, rivers of milk, wine, and honey. Each dwelling includes seventy beds. Every man will have seventy soft, beautiful, and dutifully submissive houris, perpetually youthful female companions (other hadiths mention two, both wives). If a strand of their hair were to fall to earth, the sun would turn black. They will all be thirty-three years of age, as will all those who enter Paradise.
But, the discussion that follows is that of the hellfire. We will examine the hellfire in the next post.
