Al-Sirat
Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological and Ecclesiastical Literature
the sharp bridge which the Mohammedans believe to be laid over the middle of hell, and which must be crossed by all at the close of the solemn judgment, whether destined for Paradise or torment. They believe that the just will pass over it like lightning, but that the wicked will be an age in passing it, and will fall into hell fire.
