Various Sources SIRAT AL-MUSTAQIMEncyclopedia Topic

The word sirat means path, occurring 45 times in the Koran. The word sirat is said to be a loan word from Latin, strata. The word mustaqim means straight, is more frequent in the Koran, being used either with sirat for 21 times or with tariq means path. The way of God is also termed as sirat sawiyy (19:43, 20:135) or in the genitive phrase, sawa al-sirat (38:22) or sawa al-sabil (28:22, 60:1). It connotes the path of the true believers, of the righteous or the blessed: "And (know) that this is My path, the right one (sirat al-mustaqim), therefore follow it, and follow not (other) ways, for they will lead you away from His way" (6:153), "Hold fast therefore to that which has been revealed to you; surely you are on the right path" (43:43), "Have We not given him two eyes, and a tongue and two lips, and shown him the two highways. But he has made not haste on the path that is steep. And what will explain to you the path that is steep?" (90:8-12), and "And who holds fast to God he indeed is guided unto a right path" (3:101). According to Tafsir al-Muttaqim (p. 3), Imam Jafar Sadik said, "The Straight Path is the belief in Ali and his Imamate." The Prophet also said, "O'Ali! If, through you, God leads a soul along the right path, you will like it more than anyone who likes to have the sun rise for him" (Bukhari, 5:22).

Encyclopaedia of Ismailism by Mumtaz Ali Tajddingeneral SIRAT BRIDGEEncyclopedia Topic

"It is also called Sirat al-Jahim. It is a bridge of hell. In the world to come, the sirat is the bridge stretched over hell, which all human beings are said to traverse in order to reach paradise. The Koranic word aqabatun (pl. aqabat) is translated as a mountain-road difficult of access. It means the difficulties or obstacles, which men will have to encounter stage by stage before the actual entry into paradise or hell.

According to Qummi (1:29), Imam Jafar Sadik said, "It is the distance of a thousand year ascent and descent. It is finer than a hair and sharper than a sword. Some shall traverse it with the speed of light; others like a galloping mare; others shall walk with faltering steps; still others shall crawl. Some will traverse it suspended and their bodies will be partially consumed by the fire." Risalatu'l I'tiqadati'l Imamiya quotes the Prophet as saying, "O'Ali, on the day of judgment, I shall sit near the bridge with you and no one will cross the bridge unless he can produce a writ by reason of devotion to you."
