Background of As Sirat:
On Judgement day, after the dead have been resurrected, assembled, and judged by God. The saved and the damned now being clearly distinguished, the souls will traverse over hellfire via the bridge of As-Sirat. The faithful, will "move easily and swiftly across a broad path", led first of all by the Prophet of Muhammad himself and other leading lights of the community on their way to paradise (Jannah); those judged guilty of sin but still considered to be mu'minun (believers) will fall from the bridge into Hellfire (jahannam) but remain there only for a limited period of purgation; unbelievers, however, will find the bridge has become "sharper than a sword and thinner than a hair" and darkness blinds their way.Their inevitable fall from the bridge will be an "inescapable descent" into their fiery destination of everlasting punishment.
