Imam Mohammad-al-Baqir (A.

Imam Mohammad-al-Baqir (A.S.) says, that when the verse (Ayah) “And hell is made to appear on that day” (Surah-al-Fajr: 23) was revealed, the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.S.) was asked regarding it’s interpretation. He replied, “Jipa’eel has informed me that when Allah will have gathered everyone from the beginning to the end on the day of Qayamat, one thouesand Angels will ping the hell pulling it with a thousand ropes with great difficulty.

Hell will be roaring and raging with anger and the voice of peaking (of bones) will be heard from it. At that moment a ferocious voice will erput from it, which Allah has reserved to take the account of people, and every one will perish (with fear). Men, Angels, and the Prophet will be wailing with fright. Man will cry out, “Our Lord! save me, save me”, while the Prophets will cry out, “O Lord! save my people (ummat)”.

So each Prophet will take account from Their people (ummat) and walk over the Poole Serat. No one will have any escape from walking over it. Allah says in the Qur’an: “And there is not one of you but shall come to it, this is an unavoidable decree of your Lord. And we will deliver those who guarded (against evil), and we will leave the unjust therein on their knees”. (Surah-al-Maryam: 71-72)”.

Then the Prophet (S.A.W.S.) said, “This pidge contains seven Passes (Aqabat), and each Pass has got a station equal to seventy farsakh, and seventy thousand Angels have be pogted on each station. All the people will have to cross these Passes”. 1 st. Pass: kindness (Sile Raham), Trust (Amanah), Love of Ahlulbait (A.S.) (Walayah) The first station here is of kindness (Sile Rahm). The person who in this world is not merciful towards his parents will have a short life.

He will not prosper (in wealth), and in the Hereafter will be stopped on the first station on poole Serat, and no mercy will be shown towards him. The Holy Qur’an admonishes us in the following words: “And be careful of (your duty to) Allah, by whom you demand one of another (your rights), and to the ties of relationship”.

(Surah- an- Nisa: 1) So when one of your relativet is sick visit him, if he is indigent help him and fulfil his wants, and visit them (your relatives) on important days (of Idd etc.). The second station is of Trust (Amanah). Trust does not only include welth, but also if someone confides in you and tells a secret requesting you not to reveal it to anyone, this too is included in trust.
