5. Sirat Al Mustaqeem
• “Sirat Al-Mustaqim, is the clear path without branches” (Tabari)
• Imam Ahmad recorded in his Musnad a hadith;
Allah has set an example:
A Sirat (straight path) that is surrounded by two walls on both sides,
With several open doors within the walls covered with curtains.
There is a caller on the gate of the Sirat who heralds, 'O people! Stay
on the path and do not deviate from it.'
Meanwhile, a caller from above the path is also warning any person
who wants to open any of these doors, 'Woe unto you! Do not open
it, for if you open it you will pass through.'
The straight path is Islam, the two walls are Allah's set limits, while
the doors resemble what Allah has prohibited.
The caller on the gate of the Sirat is the Book of Allah,
while the caller above the Sirat is Allah's admonishment in the heart
of every Muslim. (Tafseer Ibn Katheer)
